Hi Folks

For 7.5 years I have thought about/researched the idea of a tummy tuck...and I have decided that the time has come.I have had 5 kids,and altho I can do all the ab exercises in the world and firm up the ab muscles,I cannot do anything about the loose skin.It has bothered me for a long time now and made me feel very self concious...

It wont intice me to wear a bikini,but it will do is let my clothes fit better,make me feel more physically comfortable.

I am slating my surgery for March of next year and have until then to loose as much fat/weight off my body and that particular area...

Its been a hard decision,a long one,and a relief that it has finally been made :big_smile:

I was just reading old posts-Have you had your tummy tuck yet? I too have decided after 3 kids and 1 c-sec to go ahead with the procedure. I train like crazy and that is the only area I am disappointed with.

Best of luck to you mystic....in some cases of weight loss, the skin is a large problem. Especially so after we age a bit, elasticity is degraded, and sometimes surgery is the only answer. Keep us posted.
