Tuck your tummy at all times. Try tucking and releasing several times when you're sitting, and when you're walking keep it tucked and turn your waist slighty from side to side with every step.

Yes. Its call surgery. Tummy tuck.\nYou will get a flat stomach, but a scar from side to side, (where the hip bone starts to the other side)\nIt looks BAD. (unless you are looking to be the bride of Frankistein for the rest of your life)\nSo, maybe yoga, or a gym to do ab work is not that bad.\nHey, if the obese people on TV Biggest looser can do it, a bet is a pice of cake (ji, ji) for you.

Go to your doctor and ask about getting your scar injected with something called Marcaine.  This sometimes works to alleviate pain of Caesarian scars or scar pain in general.   Hope this is helpful to you.

It depends where yoiu get it...I had one just below my waist, and they had to sew a screen in..it hurt for two weeks! It was in a bad spot, so no matter how I moved...ARRGGHHH!!\n\nMy wife just got one stitched up that was right above her bellybutton...wasn't so bad...a few days and she was perfect...\n\nGood luck!

I knew someone who did that. She said that the first week was the worst, and she was pretty sore for two or three weeks. After that she was okay.\n\nSo I guess it hurts. Recovery time depends on you. Most surgeries have that affect on people though. Good luck.

Yep, I had mild dysplasia (sp?) twice. I had the LEEP procedure done. It just feels like a little tugging. No big deal, if that's what you are having. And its more precautionary than it is a cancer treatment. It hurts a little during, and their might be slight cramping afterward. It's not too bad, though.

I agree with kny390, first step is your doctor. He will know firstly how to appeal, and will be able to maybe contact the consultant on your behalf. \n\nBut you are really gonna have to make your doctor understand how awful and disgusted with yourself this makes you feel, so a few tears wont go a miss. Make him understand how this affects you daily, how you wont undress in front of your partner, or go swimming, however it is that affects you,  make sure he knows.\n\nI know how it feels to be overweight and have  baby flab, ive got it, but im way too afraid of surgery!  i know how it feels to see my tummy in the mirror, get undressed in the dark, hide behind baggy clothes, never be able to wear anything tight and sexy, so you go for it girl, if its causing such distress, its surely worht another try.\n\nAll the best. \n\nxxxxxxxxxxx

Sounds great. However, I know a friend of mine eventually had surgery for breast reductuion (shame), because it was troubling her. I think she had back aches, but I am not sure - also don't really know what size she was.

Yes most will give you a payment plan and there are many companies that finance plastic surgery. Ask your Dr at a consultation and he will provide a list of companies for you to apply with.\n\n*just to add, my girlfriend did a tummy tuck, boob lift, and eye lift at once. She said the tummy tuck was the most painful thing she ever went through. Just know what your getting into! \nGood Luck

It takes only seven days Breast reduction,Tummy tuck surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.\n\nForerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\nHope this helps.

Do the best you can...I had a g/f that had a tummy tuck and she quit cold turkey before her surgery, but started back while she was recovering...\n\nBe strong...do what's best for succesful results of your surgery...if you feel that strongly about smoking, you can smoke again after you're through the surgery and on the mend...\n\nI know it's not easy (I'm a habit smoker myself)...good luck!

It will be just like if you were pregnant and they did the thing with the jelly on your stomach and used a little roundish type object and rub it on your belly like when they look for the baby...you probably won't even have to get totally undressed...just wear something comfy that you can pull down a bit (just below your navel) and a shirt that you can pull up (just under your bra).  It isn't scary at all and it doesn't hurt.  They can see gallstones and such with this procedure.

Pain depends on you, and the locations. The back, i don't have one there, but i'd imagine the second the niddle goes over you'r spine it will. I heard that hurts a lot. There, and under you're arm, like if you were to get a tribal band done..

You're in for some severe pain if you don't have those taken care of. I ignored my gallbladder. The pain got so bad I'm not sure I can describe it to you. It was a big knot about the size of my fist under my sternum. Unimaginable pain. It didn't matter what I did I couldn't relieve it. Pushing on it did nothing. Sitting in every possible position I could do nothing. It would last for a good hour non-stop torture. This happened daily. I'm one stubborn man. The pain would be so bad I would be screaming. Still I didn't ask for help. I was hoping one of the neighbors would call for help. They never did. I lasted 10 days. I finally said something and saw a doc. They tried to do the surgery through those scopes. No luck. I'd waited so long that the gall bladder was gangrenous. So they had to go in. That's not a pretty scar. I went into the hospital expecting to stay 5 hours. That turned into 6 days. So if the doc's are suggesting to you that you have the surgery, I'm thinking maybe you should. 4 tiny scars compared to my 7 inch long scar plus the 4 tiny scars. The bill will be much smaller as well. Cost me 15 grand for being stubborn. Good luck! \n.

Wow! Steep learning curve...I guess I'll have to settle with..."ate too much junk-food".  Can you say tummy ache?\n\nNow, if you ask in years instead of days, you might get a more inspirational answer from me:)

Whoops!\nThat is going to irritate and fester a swelling. It'll be stuck and you will need to have a c-section and give birth to it.\nGood luck!
