I think you should ALWAYS get at least three professional opinions. If you need it and it helps your self esteem do it! Always check out your Dr. on healthgrade.com

Just exercise and take your time to get back into shape...that "extra" skin will go away...you may not ever have the flat tummy you once had, but you certainly will "shed" the gummy extra skin that you have right now.  I can remember how mortified I was following my first child...but it will get better : )  Enjoy your little one, he will grow up fast!!!

Barring the comments concerning ("You should have done it 35 years ago-your parents had that option") I would say that it is still a good idea. I dated someone for years that was uncircumcised. When pulling the skin back- he was almost too sensitive and he could not last very long. I don't know if the duration was due to that or not. I would assume that it would be painful after the anesthetic wore off-but-in the long run it may be practical. I can understand that the feelings would be better without the hood. It just makes sense. AND it is stupid that people think that it is unhygienic to have the extra skin. People have been circumcised by religious custom-just because it is a tradition.

I've never had plastic surgery but u should definitley wait!! Having a tummy tuck then having more kids defeats the purpose of the tummy tuck in the first place. Your skin is going to stretch out again and you'll just have to get another t.tuck.

## That depens on the doctor! I strongly suggest you shop around and seek other states for your tummy tuck!Prices vary! Be sure you ask questions about the operation! Its your body --- take GOOD CARE OF IT! After all 'YOU PAID FOR IT"!

I don't personally know anyone who has had it but I am against it in most situations. Do you really feel like the rewards are greater then the huge risks. Millions of people have lost tons of weight without it so it's rarely ever necessary to have done. Plus, it's a quick fix for a huge problem, people think that after getting the surgery they won't be able to over-eat and that will solve their food issuse but that's not true, I think losing weight the natural way is much better all around in the long run.

I have breast implants, which I got about a year ago.\nIt wasn't a necessity by anyone's standards, but my own.  It is something that I wanted to do for myself.  I dress conservatively, and the only people who know that I have it done is my mom, my husand, and one of my friends.  I told no one else, because like I said, it was for me.\nThe only regret that I have is that I didn't do it sooner.

Cosmetic 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.

Heh - I wouldn't recommend that.  My mom did it a long time ago, when she was in a bet with some other women on whoever could lose the most weight in a given amount of time.  She won - but had to spend all the money on Preparation H because she had such bad tummy-related side effects.

I had lipo done on my stomach as well as my "love handles" 3 weeks ago and i am so happy with the results... i went to Tijuana Mexico becuase its so inexpensive there and i chose a surgeon who was educated here in the states... i couldnt be happier with the way i look..tell me this though besides the fact that you have had children ( i have 2 myself) how is the elasticity of your skin.. do you have a lot of stretch marks or did your skin bounce back fairly well ? that is what makes the difference becuase after they "suck out the fat cells" it takes a little while for your skin to adjust depending on the elasticity.. anyway feel free to IM or Email me with questions

Only if you are severly overweight, to the point where it would be healthier to get it done, and you just can't live anymore with your weight.  It is a very serious, painful and severe surgery.  I have a cousin who had it done, and she almost died from complications.  This is a last resort, and a very drastic one.  Plus, so many find it unsuccessful in the long run because you never really learn how to eat healthily, so you eventually expand your stomach again and gain the weight back.  You have to work at learning how to eat differently and completely alter your lifestyle.\n\nThe decision is ultimately whether or not you can continue living with your weight, and how much you are really willing to risk to get the procedure done.

Hi, I have my ears back by plastic surgery about 20 years ago it brilliant and worth.  I feel so happy.  I do not believe it for beauty.

I am going to be totally honest here. If I saw a girl with a scar on her belly I wouldn't think anything negative about her appearance. I would wonder what happened but nothing more than that. I wouldn't be grossed out at all; I would be more grossed out at the sight of an old man in speedos! \nI think we, as women worry too much about what others are thinking and compare ourselves to other women. We are somehow blinded to the truth when it comes down to our appearance. If we keep on doing that, there will always be someone "better looking" or “skinner” in our eyes. Thus we'll never be satisfied. We should embrace our beauty and what we have and who we are and be proud of our bodies. \nI think it’s great that you lost the weight!! Congratulations!! Don't let anyone or anything ruin this new experience in your life. \nYou have a loving future husband who I'm sure loves you for who you are and accepts every beautiful imperfection you may have. \nI believe scars give us character. It should also come as a reminder, thanks to the surgery you’re healthy and here now.\nHave fun shopping for that bikini!! Remember that if you’re confident in the way you look, you will exhibit that confidence and show it off to the world!!

From an ER nurse, and someone that has suffered with this as well (lost 60lbs after having 2 babies 360 days appart), once you loose the weight, you can have the fat sucked out, but what about the left over skin?  I had a tummy tuck and that was the only option for me - lots of flab.  My surgeon was great!  I trusted him 100%!  Food for thought.

i think you 're the one who needs to decide if it stays or goes.if you're happy with it then dont worry.if you think it's a turn off then do something about it.  Personally my hubby gained a little around his belly and it just gave me more to hang onto to....his personality didn't change....and hes not sloppy fat so we're good...
