    It looks fantastic! You are going to be so happy with it....I had mine years ago and still love it! The scar will fade in time, mine took almost 2 years to really fade away...

    Oh my gosh! Your tummy looks amazing.You may have just talked me into a future tummy tuck. Mind me asking a few personal questions?

    How does your stomach feel now? Too tight, or weird in any way? I've always thought it'd feel like there is a clamp on my lower belly.

    How much did it cost?

    Do they put you completely out...unconscious?

    Well, after about a year and a half long journey, i lost the weight and was "thin" for the first time in my life. Unfortunately being heavy for 25 years took its toll on my 5'2 frame and i was left with a generally fit body with a small stretchmarked gut in the center that was composed of mostly skin and would NOT go away with any amount of working out.

    I consulted with a great plastic surgeon and had abdominoplasty on Jan. 24th. Im only 3 weeks out so the swelling is still bad and the scar is red and nasty at times (lol) but i cant tell you how amazing it feels to get rid of something so demotivating (try staring at the mini-belly dangling down mid push up and not get discouraged)

    Its not for everyone, and i know that. but it was the right choice for ME, and for the first time i think thats whats important.


    That's amazing! I know I would want to do the same. Do you mind me asking how much it cost?

    looks amazing and makes me think one might be right for me when I get to goal. I already have the same deflated stomach look and I still have about 20lbs to go.

    For those asking about price:
    It normally runs between 5-8000.
    I personally paid 6700 (with a discount,normally 7800 through my doc)
    Price depends very much on who you see. I found my Dr. through the web...LOOK AT BEFORE AND AFTERS!!!PAST RESULTS ARE YOUR BEST INDICATOR OF SKILL. i used Dr. Anthony Youn in Michigan (dryoun.com)

    Pain:
    The pain was very tolerable,i had vicodin and muscle relaxers at home and took them for about a week. I took 2 weeks off from work ( i work 12 hour shifts and have to stand a lot) Laughing and coughing do hurt the first 2 weeks, and overall its just uncomfortable and tight. I am a tummy sleeper and you cant stretch out like that for quite awhile. You walk hunched over for a week or so, so back pain can be an issue as well.
    Everything comes with a price, it wasnt fun...but id do it again. just MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HELPERS AND A SUPPORT SYSTEM that first week!!!

    Wow nice! I'm super jealous. My body got wreaked by my babies :(

    Congrats on the weight loss too, you're looking great!

    Me too girl! I'm going for a tummy tuck in the next five years, once I can afford it.

    Anyway your tummy looks amazing!! Congratulations!

    You look amazing! I have been considering a tummy tuck after I reach my goal as well, and your post helped me re-affirm that. I had a daughter 2 years ago, she was a c-section. I gained too much weight while I was pregnant with her, and that area of stomach is just skin, annoying, stretch-marked skin that needs to go away. I use it as a motivation to reach my weight loss goal so I can think about getting that tuck! Thanks for the motivational pics! Good job!
