WORTH IT$11,400

Hi!! I came across this site and have been reading posts for a few days. I have 4 kids ages 15, 8, 2 and 9 months old. The last two were c sections. I am 36 and I had my first at 20 years old. My stomach has gotten worse after every pregnancy!!! I still look preg bc of muscle seperation and I have sagging skin and stretch marks.

I just want to look good in clothes!!!! I want this surgery sooo bad and I have everything set up, my husband took off work for a month but I'm just sooo scared something will happen to me!!! And it's soooo expensive! My total was 11,400 for everything. I do know someone that went to my doctor and she said he is a perfectionist and the surgery has changed her life!! I know it will change mine too but I'm so back and forth about it. Help!!!

It's definitely a very personal decision, but I will tell you from my experience (and I am only 7 days post op) - I am sooooooo happy that I did this. It sounds like you have a similar belly as mine and face the same challenges due to separated muscles and wrinkly skin. If you are able to have the support system to help with your recovery - I would say go for it!! You deserve it! The fee does seem pretty high for abdominoplasty but maybe that is because I am in Minneapolis. Good luck with whatever you decide!!

Thank you!! This site is really helping me!! I am def gonna go for it but I'll prob be stressing out until I actually do it. My pre op is March 21st and that's when I pay for it so after that there's no turning back! Lol I definitely feel like I need to do this!! I do so much for my family it almost seems strange to finally do something for me!!! Thanks for your support! : ) feel better soooon!!

II can completely understand - still can't believe I put that before picture up, but this is a place where I feel more comfortable sharing than anywhere else as everyone completely relates and understands. So thankful for this site!

We are very much alike.. The emotions we go through are frustrating, scary, excitciting, anticipation. What a jumble mess! My nerves have kicked in over time the closer I get.. I hope after my surgery I can help calm some of your fears and worries.. For us mommys, we've always put our babies first... Now it's time for us! We do deserve this! :)

I'm 183 lbs 5'6. I really would like to get down to atleast 150 after my surgery by eating healthy and excercising. Has anyone lost 20-30 lbs after TT and if so did it affect your TT results at all?? I'm really nervous about that bc I do plan on losing more weight.

I had a full TT, muscle repair and lipo last June. Best decision EVER! I was the same weight and height as you at the time of my procedure. Check out my before and afters. I could not be more happier with the results:)!

This surgery is going to change your appearance so it much, maybe you will,adjust you weight-loss goal after surgery? I think 15-20lbs would just improve your result, but 30 is pretty drastic, it ,ay create lose skin again. But at the same time, you could always just gain a little back if you felt it ruined your result.

Ok thanks for your input! Most of my weight is in my breasts and stomach anyway. I'm hoping I'll be happier with myself After the surgery and will just want to tone my body instead of losing so much. I still have a few weeks to lose a bit more before the surgery as well. : )

change makes happiness
