Just wondering if anyone has had a tummy tuck, were you happy with the result, did your stomach look normal after having it done. I have stretched skin on my stomach from my pregnancies that diet and exercise will not fix.

I've had a mini tummy tuck. I was very pleased. I already had a scar from having c-sects, but the tummy tuck scar is a bit longer. I had excess skin and a lot of scar tissue. I got down to 105 lbs and still had that pooch going on and finally realized with research that because I am so small anyways and had children a bit later in life and so close together that my skin wasn't able to go back to its normal state and a mini tuck was the only way to get rid of it.
Update: One more thing....because I am small, I didn't need the full tummy tuck.0 -
same problem here, I had 2 healthy over 10 lb boys and my tummy is ruined no matter how much excercise I do0

My Sister-in-law had one and she actually looked really good!!! They re-did the belly button and everything. All her stretch marks were gone and it was nice and FLAT!!!!!0

Be careful tho. One of my best friends had it done by a certified plastic surgeon and she got really sick and an infection from the procedure. Do your homework wisely.0

Yes!!!! Tummy is flat as a board and I would do it again if I had too! Soooo totally worth it!0

Thanks for sharing, it's very motivating to me to hear this because at present my body the way it is, even if I did lose so much weight and tone up I still wouldn't be seen dead in a bikini because of this loose skin! It's nice to think I could get it fixed if I wanted to.0 -

I haven't had one but I know someone who has. It turned out great! She definitely doesn't regret doing it. The scar isn't too bad at all, either.0

I plan to get one when I reach my goal weight. I also want to make sure I'm done having babies...I might want just one more :0)0

The thought has crossed my mind many times but I too would like one more child... I think. I have two boys and would love to have a baby girl. So I want to when I'm done having babies of course.0

I did the modified tuck. They removed the pannus (extra skin) and I think I have 3-4 internal stitches. My belly button was not "moved" and I still have my stretch marks, but I no longer have the flap.0

Even as a guy I have actually considered it once I lose all my weight. I have never been skinny in my life and I can't wait till the day ny belly is gone.0

Same here. I've lost 40 lbs but my stomach looks like a deflated balloon. and there's a lot of extra stuff hangingdown...
I was wondering if anyone here had one and then had kids, did it get messed up after kids?0
