I had a tummy tuck two years ago (and a boob job!). This was after a twin pregnancy and then loosing 4.5 stone of weight. It is the best thing i have done. I love my flat tummy and normal belly button - and my boobs don't look bad either. Mine wasn't funded by the NHS - hence the reason I had the op when my twins were 8, I had to save the money up first!
I can fully recommend the surgery!

Good luck, I hope it all works out for you. I am amazed at the amount of weight you have lost. You deserve to have it all work out for you.

It cost me £8,500 but I had both procedures done at the same time. I could walk up straight the next day. Could do 6 mile walks after a week or so, then 8 to 10 mile walks and after 6 weeks was back running! Haven't looked back since. The pain was manageable with paracetamol and only needed to take that for the first 2 or 3 days. The most cumbersome thing was having to wear a corset day and night.
Just try to be as fit as you can be before the operation, and your recovery will be easier.
Good luck!
Ann
