A friend of mine had hers done a few years ago.

The doctor made her wait a while after she lost weight, and he had her working her tummy muscles.

She had to take 6 weeks off work, and stayed swollen for about 3 months.

The good news was that, as part of the operation, the dr had to give her a new bellybutton, and she got to pick the shape! That's right, my friend now has Cindy Crawford's bellybutton!

How's it look now? I couldn't tell you. She got pregnant 4 months later and is now dealing with mommy belly!
