I'm 32 years old and have had 5 children all by c-section. My eldest is 11 and my youngest is 3. They were all around average size babies, the largest being 8lbs 9oz but 5 pregnancies and 5 c-sections have really destroyed my stomach.
I've also lost nearly 50 lbs in weight through eating better food choices and exercise.
I have my tummy tuck booked for 25th September and would like to lose a bit more weight before then.

I've made it to the flat side. Everything went well. He removed 2kg of skin and 1 litre of fat from my flank area.
Here's a few photos of before surgery with the markings and a couple of after the surgery. :-)

You will have great results! It always cracks me up to see the markings before surgery...they look so haphazard. My dr. took about 2 min to mark me up- that was it! I thought there would be precise measuring involved-haha. Regardless, I am soooo pleased with my results thus far. You look great! Rest up and be patient- the first week is the hardest part and it gets so much better after that!

Thank you, it was a bit of a bizarre experience. He kept saying that it was just a guide before finally stepping back, having a good look and saying I'm happy with that, lol.
I'm staying in hospital for a bit so they are keeping me topped up on pain meds.

Thank you, I'm really swollen but very happy with the result at the moment. I've had a lot of bruising come out today too. I can't wait to see how things progress over the next few weeks x

Thank you, it feels really tight and strange. Pain wes more across the top of my stomach and down my sides. I have a bit across the bottom of my stomach now and again. Yeah pretty much a cocktail of pain meds. The usual ibuprofen and paracetamol oralmorth and last night I was having the liquid paracetamol through the iv which was pretty much knocking me out.
Bruising is starting to come out alot more now too.
I had a shower earlier and felt sick afterwards so had to have a nap.
Most of the lipo incisions were done through the skin he then cut away. I have one on either side of my hips but one side keeps leaking fluid.
Mr Pacifico came to see me earlier and is happy with how things are going. X
