    I had one 5 years ago. Even though I gained weight back (due to meds) my belly looks good. Pain was horrible for 2 weeks and it took a very long time for the swelling to go down so you do not have an instant flat belly. However, it was totally worth it and I would do it again, and after I lose this weight, who knows what kind of surgery I might have. feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I would be happy to talk to you

    Hello everyone .. Thanks for taking the time to post on this subject. I enjoyed reading all your stories and don't feel so alone in my quest to want to feel good about myself .. When I mention to friends they think I'm totally crazy and stupid so I keep it to myself. Don't want to go out of this life wishing .... I have spent just over 2 years working hard on becoming healthy and exercise and calorie counting. I'm no angel but I am stable in my weight. I saw a consultant a few months ago and he said the type of fat I have .. No exercise can get rid of so I will have that loose skin hang.. Sooo disheartening but I keep going and think bout all the health benefits and not just about vanity elements to keep me strong. Please Keep updating your progress and feel free to add me ..

    I truly am glad that so many of you have had successful procedures, but it is not always the case. In 2018, my best friend died after complications from a tummy tuck. The doctor said it was “textbook perfect.” Then, two days later, blood clot and dead. They give the warnings for a reason. No surgery should be taken lightly.
