I had gastric bypass surgery years ago…and nothing I do will make “it” go away…. I’d be happily “pleasantly plump” with a little nip/tuck!!
How to get a tummy tuck
It made me
Feel great inside 
"I finally did it and I am sooo happy I did!"
How I did it: It took six and a half years, but I finally did it!! I had wanted this for so long. I am a very petite person, but I had the blessing of having twins. When I was pregnant with them, I got quite huge! I really carried it all in my belly. Being only 5' tall and 105lbs to start and then ending out at 160lbs really took its toll on my poor tummy! Right after having my babies I lost 45lbs and was pretty close to where I started before I had them, but my stomach never got back to normal. I knew it never would or could since it had been streched so far. I didnt have any strech marks, but plenty of extra skin:(
So after years of waiting, hoping and wishing, I was finally able to save up a big chunk of money and get it done. I am so happy I did. I am only six weeks out from having it done, and I feel great. I cant wait to get into my bikini this summer and feel normal again!

Since having my daughter 3 years ago all i’ve wanted is a tummy tuck. I’ve recently had interest of modelling agencies from pictures i had done at a local studio but never followed these up as i have no confidence. I’d love to go out in the summer and not feel like i have to wear a baggy top!! I’d love to feel sexy again!

Growing up I was always a really heavy kid up until my sophmore year of high school when i tipped the scale at 210 pounds. I told myself something had to be done about all of this mess i got myself in. So I dieted exercised and worked my ass off now i am 135-145 roughly now.
Unfortunately my skin is very loose and flabby from how big i used to be. I want to look like all the other girls my age who are my size. I want to wear a swimsuit without fear. I want to get rid of my lovehandles and strechmarks.
#1 goal

I think this might be my #1 goal… and I’d like to have it within the next 2 years. I want to look ‘normal’. I had a flabby belly even before having kids… and now it’s just even more hideous. I honestly feel like it makes me ‘disfigured’.

Out of Shape

I lost around 100 lbs almost 15 years ago. I learned to love walking and some exercises- but I am still considered “chubby” by most and I feel like I am “out of shape.” I just want my clothes to fit right!

last year i had lost 6 stone in weight after feel the the birth of my second son, my boobs had gone down past my knees and i had a reduction with the nhs. im still very depressed from the way i look,when i look in the mirror all i see is me when i was 15 stone and i have worked so hard to lose the weight.
i am thinking about having a tummy tuck but am i taking the surgery to far?..im worried what people will think if they know im having one done and also im scared about the pain that will come with it…but on the other hand i can’t live the rest of my life feeling like this i hate my body….. i have come on here today to ask anyone if they hav any advice about tummy tucks and is it really worth me going through it

I’m not so worried about getting stretch marks this time because.. lol.. have them already. I still really want a tummy tuck.. maybe after the 3rd one.. lol. Not worried about weight anymore.. just the stretch marks..

The loose skin isn’t terribly bad but, the stretch marks…sigh. When I’m standing and clothed, all is well. But, when I sit, i now have folds. I’m SO ready to get rid of this wrinkled, baggy look.

Well, I guess I am going to give this one up. A friend of mine is a personal trainer and has drove me crazy about going to the gym to specifically work on the abs. I guess I will start working out and try to make it part of the new changes in my life for 2008.
