I am 19 months post op and have lost 126 lbs since the beginning of this process , I am seriously considering a tummy tuck to get rid of my extra belly skin, I work out 5 days a week and am in pretty good shape. Have any of you had one. If so please share as much detail as possible. I also want to get a boob job since they went from a d to a small b, but can only afford the tuck right now.........so fun that these are my big problems now lol

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats !!!!!! I would love to have a little skin removed and some higher girls !!! but not yet. the only thing i have heard is You may save some if you do multiple surgeries at one time , cuz of anesthesia and O.R. Just sayin'.... and sometimes ins MAY cover your tummy, never know till ya check.... Good luck!!!!!!!!

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
