Hiya
I had my 3rd section Feb last year. I had an apronectomy at the same time.
Before they performed the apronectomy I asked my GP about having a tummy tuck, she said that they wont do one until you are within you BMI.
Im due to have my 4th section in 6weeks so hopefully wont be left with another overhang

Hi hun, sorry your feeling like this. You can get plastic surgery on the nhs but you have to make sure you really convinece them that it is affecting your every day life, then if they think it is then they refer you to a pyschactrist and then if they think your eligable then they refer you to the plastic surgern. A friend of mine had breast enlargments on the nhs after having her little boy 4 years ago as she was really down about them. It did take quite a while for her to get them but she feels so much better about herself now and was worth the wait. Good luck hun.xxxxxx

I am so rudy depressed. The horrible apronfront overhang will not go. Has emergency c-section jan 2005 and had normal delivery July 2006.
I have to wear trousers 2 sizes bigger to fit it. I look a frump and I just want to hack it off.
I have exercised and dieted and its still there like a spot on the end of your nose.
