every consider pilates before getting sliced in half?
I don't think you quite understand what a post-csection belly looks like for some people. No amount of pilates will fix that!
It's like this awful, saggy old man's butt hanging off my stomach. And I'm not huge! My belly just looks awful and nothing is going to fix it except for a tummy tuck. I'm not sure if I'm done having babies, so I'm waiting... but it will happen one day.

Patty is right, its quite ugly a year later and I do ab work, cardio and the 30 Day Shred. If someone offered to get rid of my flab Id take it...when I was all done birthin'.

Yep...that's how I described mine too. I'm hoping and praying I can have one when I'm done having kids.
One of my good friends is getting a tummy tuck in april - she had her 2nd boy 2 years ago, and has been doing WW and busting butt at our kickboxing gym for over a year - everything has gone down, except this giant bag of saggy skin/middle-belly fat. I totally can see why she's ready to take a next step. She works out so friggin' hard, no love on the middle area.

Yep, me too. I've already told MH that a tummy tuck is the works after we are finished having kids.
Really, this annoys me. I am 5'5, 135 lbs, work out, eat well and am in decent shape and I need a tummy tuck and I didn't even has a c/s. I still would like to lose some weight but if I didn't I'd be fine with how I look except for my stomach. I carried all out front with an 8.5 lb baby and that will do it to you. If all it took was diet and exercise you bet your a@# that I would be starving myself and hitting the gym 3x a day. It isn't that easy for some of us.
it's not even just the skin but the muscles that are permanently stretched out. One cannot re--tighten muscles that have been separated.
surgery prevails.
Not true. I had abdominal diastasis recti (serparating) w/ both pregnancies. There is a misconception that it is permanent. You should not do crunches the first 3 months pp, but rather follow a workout specifically created for that issue. My abs are pretty decent now.

Yeah, I'm thinking she's never seen it where the skin is a huge bag hanging from the belly. My friend looked like she had a skin fanny pack before she got her tummy tuck. No exercise unstretches skin.

This is corrct. Diastasis recti can be corrected most of the time with the right PT routine--NOT crunches or sit-ups.
But if June wants a tummy tuck, what is it to Mod or anyone else?

i agree i'm always suprised by the amount of people who go straight for the tummy tuck, but i also don't have a clear perspective as my stomach looks exactly like it did 5 years ago - my hips on the other hand don't seem to want to go back but i don't think there's a surgery for that - lol.
do you think some of it has to do with age? or being overweight previous to pg? i'm seriously curious b/c i have a few mommy friends here that had their LOs in their early/mid 20s and pretty much ever single one looks rockin in a bikini.
but yeah, if you want a TT go for it

well , when you put it that way!

My stomach is horrific looking!
Yep, me too. I've already told MH that a tummy tuck is the works after we are finished having kids.
But octomom's went away "naturally, with hard work" and she carried 8 at once!
I'm waiting for a bunch of tummys PIP.
