Tummy tuck after weight loss... should I?
Question:
All my life I have had a "pooch" in front. Even after I lost a lot of weight (I am 5'2", and weigh 128 lbs and am 39 years old). I go to the gym and work out both cardio and weights. At one point I was doing 200 sit ups at a time and going for 300. I could feel muscle tone beneath but the damned pooch was still there. This is incredibly discouraging when I am doing everything the fitness and diet magazine suggest!
My swim suits look bad, I want to wear a slinky dress without a bulge, and when I gained weight friends actually asked if I was pregnant.
I'm just about in tears because so many clothes make me look fat because of this and I'm at the lowest weight I've seen since I was in college.
Would this surgery help me at all? And does it last?
Answers:
I had 2 c-sections with my babies- left with a nasty scar and hanging stomach- 18 months ago I had a tummy tuck, breast lift and some liposuction. I had a little more liposuction June 1 - I have the flattest tummy and I love it. Anyone who says having a tummy tuck is the easy way out- doesn't know what they're talking about. Also- going to the gym will not make the skin shrink...does it last- YES it permanent. I was willing to trade in my c-section scar for a tummy tuck scar-(hidden by bathing suit :) email me for photos unionjackess@yahoo.com
It all depends is you are planning to have children or not. If you want children, this procedure will be a waste of money.
Hell yes go for it! I'm gonna get the works when I hit my goal weight, I had gastric by-pass 6 yrs ago, porked up then, this past april I got the lap-band, Look I'll always be a big girl but I just don't want the rolls! You feel me? Nip and tuck baby! oh yeah lift up the boobs too. yea hI decided with the xtra skin they cut off I'm gonna make a purse and a matching pair of shoes! LOL!
