    Bump buump buuuump!

    I had 4 children, one of them C-section. Even at my skinniest (112 lbs) I had the low abdominal flab. The surgeon than did my C-section sewed me up with staples and PINCHED my left side very bad. Not only that he also cut me nearly from hip to hip. Not even my mom who had a C-section 33 years ago had a cut that big.
    This particular surgeon was pretty much kicked out of town. He had so many law suits against him that he couldn't practice here anymore.

    I hold no illusion that my scar and hanging flap will ever go away (unless I win the lottery and have surgery), but I keep hoping that it will get better. I'm amping up my reverse sit ups and on exercises that tighten the lower abdomen.

    I'm so affected by this that I have an awful hard time getting completely naked in front of a man. It embarrasses me so much. Walking around in my underwear in front of a guy is a struggle for me.

    If I could afford it, I would have surgery because this is the part of my body that bugs me the most.

    The worse about the whole thing also is that my daughter died 17 hours after she was born by C-section. I have a scar to forever remind me of that.

    I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. My heart broke reading that:flowerforyou:

    I'm also still looking for someone with more of a hanging tummy...the one I have from having twins. Could really use some inspiration/motivation...and hopefully not have to resort to surgery...

    I'm still working on mine. I had my last baby by c-section Dec 15, 2010. I've had 2 c-sections, after my son I ended up gaining a ton of weight due to depression, I got up to 250lbs, this photo in the photo I'm about to show I was about 205 maybe more, the after is about a week ago. I'm 137 now. I'm working hard to lose the rest of it. I'm 5'3..

    I was just talking about this last night. Is it possible to put the things back in place that arent in place? My stomach is the grossest to me and I was considering a tummy tuck but want to really just earn it the hard way and work it off, but is it possible???

    "bump" allows a topic to go on people's "watched topics" list and it moves it up on the "recent topics " list

    How tall are you? I started at 198 and am currently 170lb and stuck. I would LOVE to be 130. I do have the belly, and it seems like the more I loose, the wrinklier the stretch marks and my belly gets. Did you have this problem?

    Being here over a year, I have seen your blogs and posts and don't believe that I have EVER seen this before pic!!! Amazing! Gives me severe hope... especially because I have that pink polka dot bathing suit!!! I love it and it is already getting too big! Whoo hoo! You are an inspiration for sure! :drinker:
