I was thinking of having a Tummy Tuck?

Congratulations on losing the weight. \n\nI had the abdomnioplasty done back in 2002.  Given the choice over again...I would not. \n\nI had some internal bleeding, that had to be reopened, and spent another week in the hospital, now, I have an incision from hip to hip...and an indented scar tissue over my belly. \n\nI would opt to do it via exercise.  Be proud of your accomplishment of losing the weight.  Skin is elastic...exercise and time, will make it tight. \n\nThe risk was not worth it. \n\nGood luck.

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.

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.

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.

I would have a better self-esteem. Then I wouldn’t feel bad when I examine myself in the mirror.  Now its "Ough, my butt is bigger than it should be, or my breast are not as big as they should be, and I cant get my hair looking the way I want it to look, and I don’t have super model legs, why cant I have perfect skin, I just don’t look "girly" enough to be taken seriously as a woman"...blah, blah, blah and blah.  Sometimes I cry.  \nI wish I could see myself the way others see me, they all say I’m this or that, and I just see, me.

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!

I wish!\n\nThey are just going to be the size that they are going to be.  Nothing you can do about it without surgery to enlarge them.  But try to be happy with your body just the way it is.

I have not had it done, but have 2 women friends that have. Both had extreme "flab" in their belly...one from being overweight and the other from carrying a very large baby.\n\nBoth women were VERY glad they had the procedure done, although do listen to your doctor and do what s/he says regarding aftercare. It takes a while to get back on  your feet and walking upright again...\n\n...but for those with more belly skin than can be tightened up with traditional exercises, a tuck is the way to go.\n\nGood luck and I hope the results are what you are seeking!

consider getting your belly button pierced. it looks awesome. or you could get the bar through your ear they both are awesome. good luck.

A "tummy tuck" (abdominoplasty) is NOT for weight loss - it is a procedure to get rid of extra skin AFTER weight has been lost, and is the only way to get rid of that skin.  They also tighten up the fascia (tough layer that holds your guts in) to give you a flatter abdomen.\n\nThe amount of skin and subcutaneous fat that is removed in an abdominoplasty is only about 4-6 pounds.\n\nLearn all about it here:\n\nhttp://www.plasticsurgery.org/public_education/procedures/Abdominoplasty.cfm

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
