After having 2 large babies, I am also considering a tummy tuck. All I have to do is save the money - that's the hard part! Anyway, a friend of mine had it done and she looks fantastic! It is a major operation keep in mind, it took her about 2 - 3 weeks to get to the point where she could get around fairly well. I think that based on her results it is worth the money and the temporary pain.

I had a 10 lb baby who- bless her heart - just about killed me. My stomach was so stretched out that my skin looked like a balloon after you fill it with air, then let the air out. It was stretch-marked, loose and so ugly. I work out 5 days a week, run, and am in very good shape, but there is nothing I could do about the stretched out skin. So I had a tummy tuck. It was extremely painful, and it took my a good 6 weeks before I felt myself again, but WOW was it worth it! I have washboard abs again. The scar isn't bad. I had three c-sections, so I already had a scar, and the part of the scar that extends past my c-section scar is barely noticable. I would just make sure you have lots of help and are prepared for the pain. My doctor is supposed to be THE guy for tummy tucks. People come from all over to have him do this surgery.

Hope this helps in your decision. Good luck.
