Tummy Tuck
I thought about getting a tummy tuck, as I've had two kids, and now losing this weight doesn't help the stomach area, but I just don't want that HUGE scar going from hip to hip. I had breast augmentation in 1999 and I still hate those scars. I just wish they could do it and get rid of the scar. I hate my stretch marks, but don't know if I could trade them for that huge scar.

I don't know what scar care products were out in 1999 but today there are a boatload of products on the market. What I learned from my plastic surgeon is that massage is what makes the most difference. I massage all of my incision lines at least 2x a day with Gene's Vitamin E cream. At 7 months they are already starting to face in many places. I expect that in a year they will be terrific. So well worth it in my book. Wearing a bikini at 61 is pure delight.

I have used Mederma in the past, and it seemed to work pretty good, it's just kinda expensive. But wow - sounds like you know what works! That is awesome! Thanks for the advice, and I might have to rethink the Tummy Tuck idea.
