This is my first time posting here and I have really enjoyed reading everyone's reviews, experiences and seeing their before and after pictures! So I thought I would start to share my journey! I had my first son 7 years ago. I gain 70 lbs with that pregnancy, I started with a flat tummy but it never bounced back. I have my second son 13 months ago and again was left with lots of skin and a bulging belly. I am asked constantly when I am due, people that see me at work have even speculated that I might be expecting again! Its so frustrating because I have been trying to lose weight and I have lost 50 lbs since my pregnancy but still I look pregnant. I have thin legs, arms and face but that stomach is all I see when I look in the mirror or try on clothes. My husband looks at me like I am beautiful but I want to feel beautiful! After much thought I decided to consult Dr. John Polley and I love his office. I scheduled my surgery for Dec. 2nd. This gives me enough time to lose another 10 lbs (hopefully) schedule time off with work and have my Mom here to help me after the surgery. This is the first time Im sharing photos but so many of you have helped me feel comfortable by sharing yours so here it goes!

HI GWmama!
I'm located in your area and scheduled for a mommy makeover on Nov 4th!
Good luck with your surgery! Its a little scary (Maybe a lot), but lets hope it is worth IT!

I'm SO tired of people thinking I'm pregnant!! I'm so self conscious all the time of anyone looking at my stomach! Today at work (I'm a RN) another nurse told me to be careful lifting a patient because she didn't want me to have a miscarriage! Ahh!! Sorry had to vent!

Hi,
So you are in exactly the same place I was 31 years ago! Young mom, gained too much weight and ended up with a flabby, saggy body. I lived with that for years in spite of the fact that I was quite thin. I even covered my stomach with a wash cloth when I took a bath! As you know, I just has my MM 3 weeks ago and now I am looking in the mirror and thinking "what took me so long!".
So good for you that you won't have to do that when you are 61! Besides , when you live on or near Lake Michigan, you spend a lot of time in a bathing suit...now you can enjoy going to the beach with friends without feeling self conscious !
Good luck!

I have the same issue with people wondering if I'm pregnant. My belly is very similar to yours. I will be taking the plunge and going on the flat side in December 18th - so excited!!
Welcome to the community and thank you so much for sharing your pictures with us. This is very exciting news and I will be anxious to see you after surgery.
This is a good way to do it. It's always very helpful to look at pre op pictures and see just how far you have come.
