Im not sure if I actually need one. I feel if I am dedicated in my workouts and diet that I can lose the belly and tone up all on my own. I have seen the people who get tummy tucks and they usually have alot of loose and flabby skin. I really dont have that at all. Im not against the surgery my wallet is. So what do you think?

    Do it naturally then tell your wallet "you're welcome"

    If you're going from 190 to 130, you're not going to need a tummy tuck. Your skin will naturally tighten up if you lose it gradually enough.

    It's the people who have hundreds of pounds to lose and lose it quickly that generally need it... Or if you were pregnant with multiple children... I hear it's difficult to bounce back from that.

    But losing 60lbs won't leave any flabby skin.

    edit: Also a tummy tuck isn't intended to help people lose weight. It's to tighten up the skin that doesn't have as much fat under it anymore. No doctor in their right mind would recommend trying to slim down by getting a tuck.

    Definitely don't get one if you're not done having kids. I had one, while not necessary (..as in I could have lived my life with separated abs and a belly that hung a foot from my body when I bent over..) there was no fixing it or getting rid of it without surgery.
