You look great!!
I do not think I could ever look like you but if I do I will be in shock.I do not think I could wrap my mind around it.

No, dear, don't look at it that way.  You are going to be so amazed at the difference in your appearance when that tummy and mid-section skin "disappear".  I did not post before pictures because, well, they were just too awful.  I am so excited for you.  You WILL BE BEAUTIFUL!

Hi Bonnie,

Thank you for your posting. I am 59 also and just starting this whole process. Was it difficult for you as far as the surgery recovery? I'm scared about that.

My surgery should be in October according to my surgeon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bless you,

Whoop-whoop to all of us gentlewomen of a certain age!  For me, the plastics procedures have been a matter of choosing my battles;  after all, I am not 32, but, do want to look like the lovely 59 year old I am.  I've taken the soft and easy approach, and staged my procedures - one project at a time with several months inbetween.  I did not have the muscle tightening with the anchor cut.  I understand that the recovery with that is pretty intense.  Surgeon said my muscles were ok- and they are.  Give you self plenty   of gentle time and patience in recovery- take it slow and go on your timetable.  You will do fine.  When I was young, I could paint and redecorate/rearrange a huge room in one day.  Now, it may take me three days.  The results are the same-beautiful.  Same way with the plastics.  Best of results and healing to you.  Bonnie

Yep, that is exactly what I had done and I had to pay $2,000 over what insurance covered.  Worth every friggin penny!  My stomach is perfectly flat and I absolutely love how I look! The scars are obvious on my very pasty white skin, but I am confident they will fade with time.  The mons area still swells up, the area by the belly button where the hernia was repaired also still swells.  I still have some numbness, but it is slowly improving.  I would do it again in a heartbeat

When my PS surgeon showed me before/after pics of his work I just assumed that he chose the very best photos and that no way in heck could I ever look that good.  I do.  My abdomen is that of a 20 year old.  I love it!  I had a terrible, terrible muffin top and even with spanx it buldged out.  None of that going on now! 

Recovery wasn't too bad.  I took of a month of work, and took it easy after that.

Thanks for the advice I am a little scared but excited at the same time.
