Hello All,
My name is Michelle and I am unhappy with my weight and physical appearance. When I had my second child, I went from 140 lbs to 200 lbs pretty quickly. I am still seeing the effects of this in my tummy. Currently I weigh 147 lbs and could lose some weight before my upcoming surgery. I am having a procedure called rectus plication to sew my abdominal muscles back together. I look about 4-5 months pregnant and I am over it. I would love to talk to anyone out there that has had this procedure or a tummy tuck. I hope I am doing the right thing. I do not think exercise is going to bring these muscles back together. Reply back if anyone is interested in chatting.
Thank you for reading,
Michelle
