Haven't had one, and probably won't but thought I would share with any fellow Canadians... Our Medicare system will pay for a tummy tuck if you lose 100lbs (they deem it medically necessary). So any Canadian ladies contemplating it and worried about the expense, talk to your doctor. :flowerforyou:0

I'm thinking I'm going to need a tummy tuck when it is all said and done. It looks like my pooch/pouch is going to hang on for dear life!! :mad: :sad: :mad: :sad: :mad: :sad:0

LOVE mine! It was heck to recover from but it was worth it in the long run. Reminds me to eat healthier and exercise every month when I have to pay the bill though.0

I don't have pics, but I can tell you that 7 years later, you can't tell I even had one done - with the exception of a hairline scar from hip to hip, which is now white. Even my belly button looks great!0

I had one along with lipo in 2010. I'd do it all over again. My scar isnt the best and I still have no feeling and get the pins and needles sensation a lot around where the scar is. Small price to pay though for having a flat tummy for the first time in my life.0

stories are great and all but pictures are better ;P0

WHEN I hit my goal weight of 120...I WILL be getting one. I know for sure that my tummy will still be sagging and the stretch marks still there.
I will be going to Thailand to get mine (along with breast implants/lift and possibly lip on my saddlebags).
The price is about 1/2 what you will pay here in the states and the reviews and hospitals are fantastic.
www.destinationbeauty.com is the company I will be using.0 -
I've had two C-sections so I'm left with The Pooch.. still new to this journey so not sure how much of the pooch will disappear but have considered that a TT might be necessary.
My only fear is losing my C-Section scar! I earned that scar during a painkiller-free delivery and I intend on holding it over my daughter's head for the rest of her life :laugh:
So my question is, does the TT remove that scar?0 -
Sitting her post op day 13. It's hard to believe that I actually had the surgery done 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Have my third post op appt with my surgeon tomorrow. He has been more excited about my results that I think I have so far. Of course, I pretty much slept the entire first week and have pretty much been in the recliner since the day of surgery. I am a Type 1 insulin dependent diabetic and I didn't want to take any chances of not healing properly.
Over the past 4.5 years, I have lost 103 lbs through diet and exercise. I was left with quite a pooch in my abdomen. I was amazed to find out after surgery, the pooch was honestly just extra skin and scar tissue from years of insulin injections - he said I barely had any subcutaneous fat. Wow! Ill take that as a compliment from a PS any day.
This is my first day to get in front of my computer, so all my pics are still on my phone. Once I'm back to getting around a little bit more, I will share. I do know that although the recovery hasn't been the easiest thing I've ever done, I don't think it has been bad enough to make me second guess my decision. Just find a doctor who has a good reputation and that you trust and follow their instructions to a T.0 -
Have you looked into its safety and the expense of getting there???? I so want a lot done when I get my weight off!0

I'm in trouble...my stomach is way worse than that. My plan is to wait a year, from about now, see what happens with the skin and then go in for a consult. I'm fairly certain that the skin removal on my stomach will be covered by insurance, but the rest of it won't.
Edited to add: my top weight was 282 so my bodies been through some hellacious stretching.0 -
If you want to see more pictures go to youtube. Some are hard to watch though as they are not feeling good.0
