    You look awesome! I am hoping to have a tummy tuck at the end of this year, so your results give me hope that after my weight loss journey is complete, I can get rid of my excess skin!

    Excellent! Even though my belly is still fat and jiggly I have loose nasty baby bag skin anyway. (Can you hear the disdain?) I wont even MENTION what happened to my boobs!!! LOL... anyway, I would love to get a tummy tuck when its all said and done and I am down to my goal weight. You look great!

    You look FANTASTIC!!! I have wanted a tummy tuck since I was 17 and gave birth to my first child. Before pregnancy I had a very flat, very firm, perfect tummy. After my son was born (and I gained 80lbs with him on my 5'3" frame) my belly was like your before pics, but way worse. After two more kids and a lot more weight gain it is such a nasty gross mess. I have wanted a tummy tuck for almost 15 years now and your post has made me want one even more!!! The money is my only problem. It will take me years to save up that much, but I will do it! And once I have been at my goal weight for a long time I will have the money and will do it. I hope to look as great after as you do! Congrats!

    I still have a bit more than 100 pounds to lose, and my belly skin is already saggy and gross (I've actually already lost 62 pounds--lost some before joining MFP). I can't even imagine what it is going to look like when I get to my goal weight (which I may not even be able to reach without the surgery). I am usually not pro-plastic surgery; however, I made the decision a long time ago that I if I ever lost the weight I would DEFINITELY be getting a tummy tuck. My only worry is that IF I ever have kids, it'll end up being a waste of money because I'll stretch it all out again. But that'll probably never be an issue anyway. You look absolutely AMAZING. It is good to see REAL results from a tummy tuck. Your scar must be really low? If that is the case, I don't think I would even care about it. I would much rather have a low-set scar, no matter what it looks like, than a bunch of wrinkly old skin hanging off me. I also have a LOT more to lose than you, so my post-weight loss tummy will look even worse. I can't wait to get rid of it. Again, you look AMAZING!

    You look fantastic and congratulations on the tummy tuck.

    I have 2 friends who had drastic weight loss and both got tummy tucks and said it was the best thing they did for themselves as the hanging skin just depressed them, clothes didn't fit properly and no matter how much toning they did the skin was never ever going to firm up...so far I have only lost 20lbs and my tummy is already going south after having 4 children, little nervous by the time I reach my goal...another 60lbs to go, will have to see bad it is when I get to my goal.

    I want one! My belly will be the same way...I nine more pounds to lose before my goal weight and I can still pick up the flab on my belly and flop it up and down. gross huh. Anyhow, I told my husband that the only way I was going to have a decent stomach was with a surgical tool. Love yours and it looks fantastic.

    Wow.. I know this is an older post.. But I just had to say at how great you look. Thank you for posting the pictures

    Simply speechless. Your before and after pictures say it all.
    After giving birth to identical twins (and being told it was one baby the entire pregnancy .. surprise - 2 boys in there after going into labor and birthing one, to hear there's another baby in there .. push!) Then 2 years later, another son was born, and later a daughter.
    I carry my weight well because I'm 5'9 but now that I'm older I have a small pooch I can grab with my hands like you showed in your pictures. Although when I stand you can't tell and it's slimmed down quite a bit due to AVC and VCO .. when I sit it's a reminder.
    I just showed my husband your pictures and he was floored. He told me to go for it but find a good surgeon.
    Anyway, you look so pretty and congratulations! Happy that you're happy. We deserve to treat ourselves well and to feel good about ourselves and while it's not for everyone out there, as a woman I respect your choice to feel better, look better and become more healthy.

    thank you for posting! I am likely facing the same situation, 30more lbs to go. Big belly of lots of skin and the disgusting "flap" that grosses me out.

    You look FANTASTIC!

    That looks great! I'll probably have to do the same when I get to my GW thanks to years of fupa and a couple of pregnancies.

    You look great!!! Wish I could afford a tummy tuck that is every woman's worst nightmare but you look great and I wouldn't be able to tell it was a tummy tuck at all =)
