Well, here goes... I finally joined Suicide Girls. I've wanted to for a looong time but it was always a bit of a sore subject. I was actually accepted as a SG back in January 2006... shortly after I prepared my legal docs and hired a photographer, I found out that I was pregnant with my son. Such is life and it all happens for a reason. 
Long story short, my tiny body gained over 80 pounds during pregnancy... which absolutely destroyed my belly. I have waited over 5 years and finally I have decided to undergo abdominoplasty to remove the extra skin from my stomach so that I can be Suicide Girl Sexy again. I am celebrating this decision by starting my 2nd sleeve tomorrow. My tattoo artist has a beautiful jellyfish and a Buddha with a fox in his lap ready to carve into my skin. I am sooo excited! My tummy tuck consultation is Monday and I am hoping to have surgery the 3rd week of February. I have already scheduled the 2 weeks off of work. It really sucks that a lot of people think that tummy tucks are for people who are superficial. But that is not really the truth. For myself, I would actually trade being much heavier weight wise for a normal looking stomach. Fortunately I have made myself financially comfortable to where I can make my dream come true and have my old body back. I don't think it's cheating because actually when I would lose a lot of weight and work out.. my stomach would actually look worse because the less fat in my belly the worse the skin looks. The process is actually quite amazing. The doctor removes the lower portion of my stomach starting above the belly button and then filets and stretches the top half down to my abdomen and sews it together, but not before actually sewing the muscles tight together. The healing process is about 2 weeks and involves fluid drains and sleeping in a recliner for a while. But everyone I know who has had the surgery agrees that it is well worth the relatively short healing process to be satisfied with my body. I plan on documenting the process on my SG blog. Feel free to ask any questions, You guys are gonna get me through it all I'm sure. Appreciate any support. I am going to start my journey by showing a picture of my belly that I used to have.. and the belly that I was left with over 5 years after having my child.
