    Are you done having children? I just figured it will miss up the skin again. Just wondering how that all works. Wish I could get one myself as it isn't going to be pretty when I loss all my weight. But don't know if I could go through with it. Don't like the idea of being cut. Good luck with everything.:flowerforyou:

    I am done having children.

    I lost 80 lbs in 2002 and have had three pregnancies in ten years. My skin is detached from my core, and I'm at the very end of my weight loss goal. It's a severe case, for sure. Can't wait to be done with it - I have earned this with a complete lifestyle change that's lasted a decade.

    With 24 lbs to go to your goal and the plan to have additional children (as per your profile) it’s probably a little quick on this move since babies and extra weight loss will just f up your body again but keep that savings aside and do it soon, maybe a 30th b-day gift to yourself or something. Let us know how the consult goes, good luck!

    I also agree, having a tummytuck with the intent to have more kids is, at best, a waste of money and,at worst, outright dumb


    I have been around my goal for almost 2 years but since another baby is on the radar I have forgone my much needed tummytuck for now =)

    They do recommend you be within 5-10lbs of your goal weight for the best results!

    10 lbs away ticker not right...all that is pretty much left on my body is skin! This is probably too much info but all my stomach is is skin.

    Yay! That is so awesome! After all your hard work, you DESERVE it!!! If I don't see a flat tummy in a couple years, I'm getting a tuck. I also want a b-lift. Hope all goes well! You don't have to show the lift, but I wanna see the results of the tummy tuck!!!!

    In that case, the very best wishes with it all.

    You have lost such a lot of weight, a tummy tuck may be the only way to get rid of the excess skin I guess.

    Cannot wait to see the results! :flowerforyou:

    That is soooo exciting!!! I hope to have one next summer (assuming I get rid of the 30-40 lbs I'm holding on to right now and keep it off).

    I'm assuming the pain would be similar to a C-section. Please keep us posted on the procedure and the recovery. :)
