I had a tummy tuck about 3 years ago. I
gave birth to twins, and no matter what I
did, my belly button was gone... Ugh!
So, yes, I opted for one and am very
happy. I would have, however, just opted
for the skin removal and the making of a
new belly button. Before I went into
surgery, by doctor checked my stomach
muscles and said they felt tight already,
but then opted to tighten them further.
Pretty painful. The only other draw back
i've had, was where he cut (lower incision
like a c-section, that extends to my
sides) where my sides end with the
incisions, I now have love handles in that
spot where the fat wasn't taken out.
But, it was worth it. Good luck! My
surgery cost around 5 thousand....

to Tuck, Or Not to Tuck... Posted: 12-06-04 14:46pm
I use to have a great stomach,
until......The baby. It has been 6 months
and I have loose skin but not a lot. I
also have stretch marks too. My stomache
looks okay when standing but sitting it
just folds onto my jeans.
Will this go away more if I give it more
time?
Please help!

I don't want to scare anyone but I had a
tummy tuck 2 years ago and I am still in
pain. I do however have a lap!!!!!! Mine
cost around $8,000.00 total. I can say
that I would have the skin removal and
liposuction again if I had to do it over.
Just not the muscle pulled in. They think
it is a suture hitting a nerve but know
one knows for sure why I am in pain. My
scare goes from the back of my right side
to the back of the left side but that is
fine with me and most underware cover it!
I would take the scare over that nasty
hanging skin anyday but the pain was tough
because I had the muscle tightened which I
would never recomend to anyone. It was
painful to recover from but I also had my
18 mon. Daughter from a week after the
surgery. But I would do the skin removal
all over again and I do have to admidt I
do have a narrow waist line now so all in
all it was tough but well worth it to me I
have a lap! This may sound funny but that
is what got me through the recovery I was
just happy as all get out because I had a
lap!!!! I also know people who had it
done it never had a single problem with it
at all! In fact I am the only person I
know who had any problems!! But that is
par for me...Nothing ever easy!
