Tummy tuck. Anyone have one???

Hey, I haven't had one down, but I am considering it. I had twins in 2005 and although I have lost all this weight the belly is depressing. Congrats on triplets!

If you search for tummy tuck on here there are some posts and even some before/after pics. Good luck!

I have not , but my Zumba instuctor has , and my best friend have. They seem to be perfectly fine.

I am 6 weeks post op from mine. It has been the best thing I have done. I lost a total of 73 lbs before going in for one and have more to lose. I did ask today why I still had a pouchy tummy and he said that I could lipo that area in a few months or try to work it off but it was fat that he could not remove with lipo due to it being the blood supply flow(which is fine id rather have it then worry about blood flow LOL) However due to that I wish I would have known before hand and I would have really tried to aim to get down to 140-130 instead of going in at 180. Now if this welling would go away so I could wear my pre-surgery clothes I would be even happier.

I am so excited I found this! I am going in for a mini one in August. I am excited to get my ab muscles back together. I see alot of positive responses on this! Keep in touch with me and let me know how your goes!

Yep...July 26, 2011 I had a tummy tuck done. Worst pain ever in my lifetime, but well worth every penny of it now. I feel so much better about ME.

In 1989 I had one.. I had lost 89 lbs two years before that. I did sooo many situps, and was told.. Honey thats skin.. Thats not fat, you will not lose that 1/2 bagel flappy thingy unless you remove it.. It was between getting that done and a breast job. Being that, in 1989 they were not as advanced in breast augmentation.. I chose to remove the extra skin at that time.... I would do it all over again. You may have to lay very very still in bed for a few weeks... While it heals... Drink lots of water, and stool softeners if they have you on meds.. Be careful not to strain if you have to poop. You have to wear a compression garment afterwards. It could hurt the stiches if you don't follow doctors orders and stay really still... Don't worry if your body puffs up a little from water retentsion after surgery... That water weight goes away fairly quickly... Good luck.. Decide whats best for you... I would do it all over again... The little piece they removed, they actually showed me.. It looked like a little chicken breast..

I sorta had one I had a diastasis repair (had a 3 inch gap in my muscles) while he was in there he took a tiny amount of skin off but he said I didnt have much to tuck You can see in my after pic (this was before surgery)

You're welcome. That forum is what led me here.

The topic caught my attention, because I have a feeling I'm gonna have some extra skin issues to deal with when I get to where I wanna be.

I have two very close friends that have both had tummy tucks. One friend had hers done about 6 months ago (after 3 kids), the other about 9 months ago (after 4 kids). They had both reached their goal weight but just had that excess skin. They are both thrilled with the results and would recommend it to any woman who feels she wants it. Best wishes!
