Mom to Mom
I was pretty thin before I got pregnant with my daughter. Durin my pregnancy I gained 55 pounds and I've only lost 35 of it. I'm not really comfortable with how I look. I am a sahm and I don't go to the gym like I used to. I want to spend as much time as possible with my dd. That being said I do also want to look and feel good again.
I was thinking about scheduling a consultation for a tummy tuck, breast lift and stretch mark lazer treatment. DH said he thinks I look fine but if it'll make me happy then I can go through with it.
We go to a beach house every summer for at least a couple of weeks so if I do go through with it, it has to be soon. I am not sure though if I really want to have surgery though and not be able to play with dd for a couple weeks. Also we plan to have at least one more child in the next few years so I feel like that would ruin the whole procedure.
Anyone have something similar done? Should I do it, was it worth it?

I am 9 months post op from an extended tummy tuck and lipo. I lost a lot of weight so my reasoning is different then yours but I can say if I had to do it over again I would do it again. No matter the amount of working out I was never going to get my flat stomach back again. I still have weight to lose at least another 45 lbs but I can now do it with out any pain or discomfort from the hanging skin I also found out that when I had my c/s 6 years ago the jerk of a ob cut my stomach muscles out so my stomach is done like a corset.
