To fix your post baby stomach?? My ds just turned two and I am seriously considering it. I have lost 52 pounds in the last year and I had high hopes that this weight loss would help my stomach, but I feel like I still have skin there that won't just go away. I do work out but I don't think that will ever fix the extra skin. Is this something you would ever consider doing? If you have done it were you happy with your results and exactly what procedure did you have done?

Absolutely!!! I would never take out a loan to do it, but if I saved up the money I would.

i would not get my tummy done. recovering from 2 c-sections was hell, i would never get a surgery there without it being a necessity. i like my tummy. it isnt flat and 6packy like it used to be, but oh well. i like my scars and stretch marks. it reminds me of my babies everyday. i would def get my boobs done though,lol

I would!  Ecsp if I would have got to go longer with the twins!  I made it to 29 weeks and was measuring 43 weeks!  Yikes!  but yes if I needed it done I sure would!

YES.  I run my ASS off (literally, lol) and work out religiously.  However, the almost 70 lbs I gained with baby #2, and then lost so fast,  stretched out my skin so bad that I have this crazy flap that bounces around when I run. Actually it looks like a wrinkly bulldog face, lol.  just flappy skin. EWWW.  It's been over a year and hasn't gotten any better. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of my body and what it's done.  I'll keep my stretchmarks.  Just take a little skin , thanks...

Yes I went to talk to a plastic surgeon about it a few years ago...He said that I should be done having children before doing it though, and at the time that wasn't something I thought about. I am happy I waited because we are having our daughter on Monday. So maybe I'll re-consider the surgery in a couple years.

the only thing that gets skin tight again is surgury.  would i do it -- no i fear not waking up from being put to sleep.  if you can afford it and your tummy really bothers you i say go for it.

Did he give you a quote on how much the procedure would cost? I haven't really looked into it that much as I just started considering it and have no clue of the cost.

If I had the money.. I so would. I've even concidered getting a loan after this baby is born. But then again.. they'd have to do a full body tuck, LMAO! 


How`s my pregnancy doing?
