So, I am 26 and have lost 120 pounds with the lap band. I have kept the weight off for years and work out 6-7 days a week for 1- 2 hours very high intense work outs. I have not had kids and i will be having a tummy tuck in 3 weeks. I am nervous for 1 reason alone and that is when i decide to have kids one day. but i can not live with this on my body anymore. It is a sagging apron in front of my body and its keeping me from getting intimate with any guy yet alone start a relationship. I also would love to here anyones stories and how the recovering process went. My doctor said that i probably wont need my muscles tightened.

Any stories would be appreciated. if you are young like me.. dont have kids.. or had a kid after a tummy tuck PLEASE share!!!

YOu look unbelievable! I am down 125 exactly too. I just need to emove all this excess skin. Did you have drains put it' date=' people are saying thats the worst part?

Drains are annoying yes the worst part for me was the binders and wrapping myself up I hated it and was so uncomfortable.

Oh and thank you

I dont think a TT will affect you having kids. You can always get it tightened up later if you need to for cosmetic reasons. I hemmed and hawed about surgery all year but now I am at the same place you are---I feel like I need to get rid of this pannus, almost like its a foreign growth on my body. Hopefully, I can get insurance to cover it. If not, maybe your parents can adopt me. ha ha Good luck, Meagan and keep us posted! You are adorable!
