HOLY MOLY!! Christy this is amazing. You look great incision and all. I too have a belly monster. And after losing only 12 pounds so far I can tell that it is going to give me problems. I have had several tummy surgerys 5 to be exact and the last one was for an incisional hernia right smack dab in the middle of my belly just about my navel. It was repaired using a mesh type of stuff. Ocassionally I would feel a little pulling inside my belly but since losing the 12# it is even more noticable. That part of my body just does not have enough elasticty left in it so the droopys have started big time. Plus I had three kids two of which were about 9# each. Big BELLY babies. My belly was never the same. But those babies sure were worth it. Anyway Christy I think you are so brave for sharing all of this with us. You are an inspiration to all of us. Love, Carol

Thanks Carol..........this has been quite the journey so far.........I'll tell ya it's ALL been worth it too! Stay tuned because I'm going to put some new pictures up by this weekend 8) The swelling is virtually gone and I have some cute and sassy new duds to show off :D

Get off all your weight and know that you have done all that is humanly possible so that you are at peace with whatever surgical decision you make..........and then GO FOR IT!!

BIG HUGS,
Christi
GOD BLESSED TEXAS!

Hi Christi

I don't know when all of these post were made. My computer is saying all of them was on the same day. 8/29/05.

Just wanted to say thank you for telling us your story. And showing your pictures.
I just started MF on Tuesday 8/30/05.
I also have a belly monster. Had my daughter in 11/2000. Still had all the weight on and had to have a full hysterectomy. Cut from hip to hip. Now with reading your story I know there is something I can do about it.
That makes it a lot easier.

Your stomach looks great.

Again Thank you
We can do it.

Hi Christi

It has been a year since your operation. I was wondering how you are doing. Could you let us all know how you are?

I also just saw these pics, I am wondering what what Christi looks like now. I am amazed at the pics, I know I wanna get it done too. I am also wondering what made you do it before you hit your goal.
