I Am Getting A Tummy Tuck

My mom goes to the gym everyday, but the excess skin obviously wouldn't go away. She had 4 kids. After she got her tummy tuck she gained a 1000% confidence back. Do what makes you happy.

[@kiajones4335]

You know, there really is no shame in just saying. " I don't like it so I'm getting plastic surgery. Point blank period."

[@gleee86]

There is definitely no shame in it but, unfortunately, a lot of the self righteous people will shame her anyway.

[@deliaenya3660]

i don t really understand why it could potentially be a shame to do this. it's her body, after all. of course the body changes after having kids. really don't see why people wouldn't understand but people would find a negative in everything so

[@jennifer6236]

You know, there is no shame in elaborating on decisions if that's just how that person decides to communicate.

[@Cutenemesis]

I think a lot of us feel the need to justify our actions so we don't get so much hate for the decisions we make. It''s also sometimes a female thing.. to feel the need to justify when it's just not necessary such as saying you don't want to do something. Which is where the "no means no" movement preached. I don't care wtf she does. She's not me. She's her. And because i grew up watching her, I just hope that she's alive and well.

[@lisale9896]

I had plastic surgery done. Nothing wrong with improving yourself or fixing what makes you unhappy, as long as your mindset it right. Some people actually even aren't happy after plastic surgery because it doesnt fix the deeper issue. But if you go into it with the right mindset, you'll be satisfied.

[@frmheadtotoe]

Lindy I am so insanely excited for you and anxiously await being able to watch your journey! I know how much you’ve had to battle with your identity through motherhood and all these body changes, but as much as those scars, wrinkles and skin were earned, these new ones will be too. You’re so strong and beautiful and HONEST and that’s why I’m so thankful to be your friend!!! ❤️

[@Thefitty]

this was so nice

[@MathildaFlow]

I feel like having saggy skin removed isn’t just about appearance, it’s about being physically comfortable in your body too.

[@TroutButter]

Being comfortable in your body has nothing to do with the physical, it's a mental issue. You can do everything possible to the physical aspect, but you'll still be just as unsatisfied with yourself because you didn't address the REAL issue.

[@ItsMelliB]

@@TroutButter it really is a mental issue. I'm well over 200 pounds and I'm confident in my body. I can change it if I want, but no matter how much weight I lose, I'm still going to be big boned. It's in my family. So I learned to accept what I have and deal with it.

[@LadyKira]

YES! I hate all my loose skin! I've lost 100lb and it gets gross and sweaty, itchy...etc. It's a nightmare. Even without those issues, if someone wants to do it to make themselves look better, go for it!

im also out of 7 year relationship. And healing too. It is very difficult to move on from a relationship you think will last forever and from a person you shared so much but has ended becoz of infidelity from his side. I love watching bubz as she is so strong for her kids.

Yessss!!!! 👏

[@extrimblle]

The first videos I watched were from 10 years ago and I used to watch you throughout highschool. Over time as you got married and had children I gradually stopped watching because I wasn't at that part of my life where I could relate to that. But rediscovering your videos again has been so nostalgic and I love how even though your life has changed so much you're still as genuine and natural as I remember. You're probably one of the very few youtubers that's been active for over 10 years that has managed to keep that and I really appreciate that about you. I wish you all the best!

[@peachiegrinsxd]

Would love to see your honest recovery and the whole procedure. I don’t think it’s wrong to want to change something for your happiness, you got into fitness and it has made you so happy it shouldnt be any different.

[@CeleryStickz]

Yeah I think you should do a series on your tummy tuck journey!

[@agentmagswell]

I’m curious too! As a mom of two I’d really like to see what I could possibly be getting myself into if I decide to get a tummy tuck.

[@nicelydone9776]

Just for people who don't know, tummy tucks are not for weight loss, they are for after you have lost weight, or after having kids. Excess skin, not excess fat.

[@TheLuellaNetwork]

Yes. Removing excess fat is liposuction

[@wem-c9f]

Can I just add that aside from what you mentioned, tummy tuck is also to remove fats and skin for breast reconstruction eg in the case of breast cancer and losing breast(st). In my case, that happened. I am slim and hardly have a tummy or lax skin. I had two kids and no tummy issue after pregnancies. But due to cancer, I had breast reconstruction using my abdominal fats and skin.

the tummy tuck is like metamorphosis! you’ve worked so hard to be the strong and fit mom you are today and it’ll show even more! it reminds me of when heimlich from ‘A Bug’s Life’ wanting to become a beautiful butterfly, i say show off dem beautiful wings girl!!

[@YukisTwin]

For anyone that says it’s not a big deal and that she didn’t need to make a video on it, you don’t realize how much it can mean to “get your body back”. I have a son and he was huge, I was all belly and I gained 50 pounds in just fluid that my body absorbed. On days that I’m not so bloated my saggy skin is obvious when I suck in. When I know for sure I’m done having kids, I plan to do a tummy tuck as well. I agree that surgeries aren’t as scandalous as they used to be but it can be a huge deal to anyone. It’s surgery, there’s risks, and it takes a lot to make this decision. I love you Lindy ❤️ and I’m so excited to see this journey so that when my time comes I will know what to expect and how recovery will be like ❤️❤️❤️

[@alanayru]

Seeing you so emotional makes me emotional, too 😭 you deserve to feel good about every aspect of yourself! Thank you for being so honest about this and not fooling any young people watching you that your future belly was achieved through dermarolling or exercise. It's so unhealthy for young, impressionable people to be influenced by lies, so your honesty is so refreshing and absolutely essential. Thank you for being such a good role-model, Bubz. We love you

[@jordanshrinks]

You deserve it, girl!! I had my loose skin removed from my tummy back in 2017. It's not as painful as you assume. You're gonna do amazing and I am so excited for you!! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all!!!

[@andrewmitchell7289]

Jordan Shrinks how much skin do the take off ? And was you afraid to do it

[@scorpionqueen4447]

How much was it for just a tummy tuck? & where’d you go?

[@lizetmedellin5499]

This is honestly such a good topic to talk about. I think many mothers feel self conscious about their bodies after having children. I know my mom does and she tells me that she looks at herself with such shame that it made her feel “ugly.” She talked to me about getting a tummy tuck so she can feel more happy about herself. I don’t think it should be a topic no mother should feel ashamed of talking.

[@jeannecharlson9678]

Hi, when I heard your story about your marriage ending, I knew I needed to respond to you. I, too, went through an extremely painful divorce in December 2019. I thought my life was over and I went through some really dark times. I am also similar to you in that I still fight back tears when I think about it or talk about how devastating it was. I think you are now doing the best thing ever-- doing something for yourself. Throughout my 30 years of marriage, I always put myself on the back burner and made sure everyone else was happy. Needless to say, there just never was much time to spend on me. Now as a single mom of three wonderful young adults, I can't even begin to know how to "do something just for myself". Everyone tells me that it is still early after my divorce and that I still need to take time to get past the "darkness" that I had to deal with. I am so happy for you that you found something to do that focuses on making YOU happy. It makes me smile for you --(not something I have done much of in the recent months gone by). Please make sure to put up a video of yourself when you have recovered--You are beautiful now and you will be beautiful then--even on the inside knowing that you did this for yourself!

[@bunnyselle]

Sending you positive affirmations and hopes of peace and joy. 💜💜💜

[@esbns]

It's not "too early" to move on from your divorce, life is so short and if you are ready to be happy again then so be it! I hate how we tend to think that women need to go in mourning for years after a divorce/loss. we accept and move on, life will always go on wether you're ready or not

Honestly I usually feel sad when KZbinrs make plastic surgery announcements. Its often way after they have had the surgery done, and they talk about their "haters" when it is people showing mild concern for their motivation and asking if they are in the right headspace. I think it's clear from this video that you appreciate your body regardless and that this is a step in the direction of positive self growth for you. I'm so glad you are able to love your current body whilst also doing something for yourself. :) yay!

[@asdfghjklx3]

Hi Bubz. I started watching your videos ~8-9 years ago but have never commented. I wanted to share that I appreciate your candor and honesty. I hope you don't feel the need to justify this procedure to anyone. I also went through a dark time in my life-perhaps similar to what you are/were going through. Although I loved my body, I became insecure with my breasts. I eventually went under the knife four years ago and it was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I felt so incredible afterwards that I continue to share my experience with everyone who asks. All women are beautiful but sometimes plastic surgery is one of the things we need to do for ourselves to enhance our confidence. Wishing for a quick recovery, Lindy. Can't wait to see a follow up video!

[@erikka5803]

After having my twins, I’ve been losing weight and working my butt off and still have saggy tummy. So a tummy tuck is definitely coming in a year.

[@ana0johnson]

[@nicelydone9776]

Do it and be happy. Lose all your weight first though.

[@Kirsty-tz2cx]

The fact you're sharing so people don't think you got your body back because of other reasons will help so many people. It will help people know their not alone and the only one with extra skin after giving birth. We see so many people who seem to bounce back but we need more people who show the other side. I have a tiny bit from my daughter but so do all my friends and we're all shapes and sizes and some suffered more than others. I wish you such a fast and speedy recovery!

Girl you do what makes you happy!! You work out and eat healthy but also HAD TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. your body changes and sometimes it cant be reversed no matter what you do, and if a tummy tuck makes u feel more confident then yesss!!

[@LunaRogers]

Loving Yourself isn't always just "accepting" the body that you have through whatever you've been through in life. It's sometimes also doing things to improve this body and make you more comfortable. I wish more people were as open about things like these, because it is okay to want it. It is okay to demand and deserve things. A lot of body positivity talk is about acceptance, which is absolutely valid. But there is always a mental standpoint that shouldn't be neglected. It's healthy for your body to work out the way you do, but it's also healthy for your mind to get that procedure. You do deserve it because it's what you really want. So whoever thinks negatively about this can just go tuck themselves =) (pun intended)

[@sibelkacmaz2082]

Go for it girl! If it makes you happy, it is nobody’s business 💁‍♀️

[@juliemarie7018]

It is about making yourself happy. I had one in 2006 and it was the best decision. I had 4 csections so the recovery was way easier. Keep us posted and I wish you well💜

[@rosesinamber]

I feel like you’re Marie kondoing your skin here and I love it, esp the last bit where you thank your body❤️

[@ChampagneDance]

I work in plastic surgery and its story like yours that are my favorite. Mamas who did the dang thing and are healthy and eat well and just want to feel comfortable in their own skin again! Good luck bubz! You deserve it!!

[@Bnice2any1]

To know what you want is one of the best feelings in a life time, I hope it’ll go well and your recovery is as fast as possible. ❤︎

[@munparu]

Bubz, I have grown up with you. I watched you as a 12 year old girl to now a 25 year old woman. You are one of my role models. You've inspired me in so many ways to be a better version of myself. You deserve this Lindy. You also deserve to be your best self ❤ because you've inspired so many to do just that!! Go be a hot mama!!! 🙌🏻😘 we'll always be here cheering you on ❤

[@mirooki6899]

GOOD LUCK BUBS! we love you. Blog about/during the procedure and give us your opinions!! is it as you expected? and do you recommend getting this done?

[@PinkyAnnie24]

Hope you have a safe and speedy recovery! You do what is right for you and don't let anyone else affect your decision ! :)

[@MultimarcasFer]

I feel the same way with my stomach. I´ve had one natural birth and a c-section and I didn´t care about the stretch marks, but the scar I had with my c-section makes me feel self cautious. Now that I´ve finally decided to get out of a toxic relationship I´d like to do something about it. Now all I need is the money haha. But I´m starting to feel beautiful again, and I want to loose as much belly fat as I can and wear that dress I couldn´t wear before because my husband used to make my self esteem go to the ground. I´m with you all the way Bubz

[@3Gals]

We’re here with you Lindy!! 🥺🥰 ive been following you for what feels like 12-13 years. Sending you so much love and hope everything goes smoothly with the surgery! You deserve to finally do something for YOU.

[@KaylaNoelle1]

No need to try and justify it, your muscles were literally ripped apart so its an issue for your physical wellbeing too. Plus even if it were just about how it looks it's your body and if you want to change anything about it you should be able to do that. So excited for you!

[@aengmax]

You have been a positive role model for alot people. The community you have established has been with you thru good times and bad times. Everyone knows you like a BIG sister. They all know what you are doing is best for you.. They are with you 100%. PS: Poor Domo... :)

[@mejuliie]

Important - this is a love letter to you, and the worry about the timing of your surgery (not the decision to have surgery itself!!). And it really is a letter, because it is super long 😅 I'm happy that you get to do something for yourself. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't do it, as I have had plastic surgeries myself. But I'm a bit worried about your timing. That you are going it this with the pain and the insecurity the end of your marriage have caused you. And this worry stems from love. I've been in the same/a similar mindset when I had my first surgery. And it wasn't good, because I was not able to deal with the fallout the surgery had (i.e. the result itself, scars,..). To me it was the one thing that could fix something I didn't like about myself. It would cure the insecurities my past relationships left me with, I would magically have all the self-confidence in the world and would like what I saw in the mirror. But the reality at the time was, that I tried to be someone I was not and look like a person that I was not. Because if I just was beautiful enough, things would have been different in the relationship. If I was only beautiful enough, I would be worth something. And I also would get some revenge. Now I would be "perfect" and my ex-partner would want to be with me, but, this time around, I wouldn't want to be with him. And while you may say that this doesn't go through your mind, it is pretty obvious that it does influence the decision. And the hurt and insecurities your marriage left you with, are a major factor in the decision to get the surgery now. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to change something about your body, the way you describe it, it seems that your motivation at the moment is coming from the emotional pain you experience and about having control. As you said, the psychological pain isn't going away, but physical pain seems "easier" to control (e.g. pain killers, you know your body is healing, you expect your body to heal in a given time-frame) and it makes you feel something that tells you that your body is still alive, despite your soul might feeling as if it were drowning. To me, and I can be wrong, the relationship with your ex-husband seems like it was manipulative and emotionally abusive. Making you feel like you aren't good enough. The way you describe reclaiming the person you once were and that you feel an impulse to change something about yourself now, are things that a lot of people who have been in emotionally abusive relationships experience. And it has left you with the feeling that you are not enough. This is not a mindset to go into plastic surgery with. What I am trying to say is that you will find other things about yourself that you are insecure about and don't like at all. Maybe the results of the surgery itself will not be satisfying. Yes, the surgery will give you back confidence, but you will have huge scars. Depending on your skin and how it heals, you might be looking at scar removal in the future. And depending on how the wide the incision is, there is a chance that there will be a visible disruption in your silouette. And while you are not planning to get pregnant again, if you gain weight in the future the scar might stretch with the rest of your skin, i.e. scar removal might be necessary, or it will give you a bumpy look because the rest of your skin will stretch above and below the incision line and the scar itself will not. I don't know if you are in therapy, but you probably should look into it. And I'm saying that as someone who has been in therapy for a couple of years now. A good therapist can not only accompany you in this difficult time, but will also question major decisions like that and guide you to look at the source of the issues. And a good therapist would have told you that you are not in the mindset to go into this surgery now, even if you think you have everything under control. Again it is not about not having the surgery at all, but the mindset you have going into it. I am also worried about your doctors behaviour. Having worked at a plastic surgeons office and having had plastic surgery myself, it is very irresponsible of the doctor to let you book the surgery upon the first visit. Yes, it might be common practice, but that doesn't make it a good thing. I don't know if you told him the reason why you chose to get the surgery now. If you did, he should have told you to wait and confront the emotional issues you are dealing with, and then come back for at least another appointment and to book the surgery at a later date. While some plastic surgeons don't believe it is their responsibility to make sure the patient is emotionally ready for a procedure, in my opinion, it is. A plastic surgeon should at least tell you to think about the decisions for some time, like at least 2 weeks, and tell you that your motivation at the moment might leave you dissatisfied, in terms of the expectations of how you will feel after. Especially since there is no perfect result. Something will be off, may it be the scar or the look you expected. And while that is usually something that might make someone initially unhappy, the feeling will subside because they will feel good about the decision they made and the result overall. But in someone who is doing this out of an impulse (which you are doing, even if you say you unconsciously have been thinking about it for a long time, as the timing shows that it is a reaction to the difficulties you experience at the moment), the chance that that person will then start fixating on every little thing that might not be perfect, is very high. A plastic surgeon's job should be to see you once (apart from post-op check ups, and other, unrelated, procedures you might want to have), and not to have you keep coming back, because the result is not the perfection you imagined. I know you won't change the decision to do the surgery in August, but it feels necessary to question be questioning it. And please, for the next 9-10 days, please try to objectively question your reasons. If you would tell a friend that they shouldn't have the surgery now, don't try to find excuses why it is different for you. Try to put your own emotions about your situation aside, and concentrate on how you would react to a friend in the exact situation that you are in now. If you would give your friend the advise to have the surgery at a later date, or if you would tell them that you are worried about their decision, then that applies to yourself as well and you should examine if you might want to go about it differently. I do, very much, wish you the best. And that your recovery, be it physically or emotionally, will be a quick one.

Lindy, thank you for telling your truth. Sometimes I see the world from only 1 view of point and I don't like that. I admit in some cases I am quick to judge. The one I judge the most is myself. There is no ideal and perfect, there is not a rule why you shouldn't do certain(not harmful) things to feel better about yourself. For many years and felt like makeup is fake too, and people who wear them don't like their natural faces. You taught me that is not the case. This video also reassured me that it's okay to do things for ourselves. If it doesn't hurt anyone, makes one feel good than why not... Others' opinion is just their point of view. Not the truth of the Univerese... You gave me confidence in myself and to ignore the noise. Thank you for helping me become a better person and always being honest with us! Love from Hungary

[@nicolemcclarin3712]

I’m getting one as well! I deserve to do this one thing for myself as a mommy! And so do you! You deserve it! ❤️

[@facetwit99]

nothing wrong with putting you first :)

[@solavellanhell]

It's your body and your choice! Being comfortable in your own skin is important, and if a tummy tuck helps get you there, then it's your choice to take this option! Love your vids, Bubz! Very inspirational!

[@marikh0]

I was really wondering when you would come to realize that no work out gets rid of the way the skin is damaged from carrying a baby. A tummy tuck gets rid of it. Kudos to your efforts but this is the only way to get rid of the skin that you feel isn’t a part of you any longer! Anyway I’m ever so shocked about the separation, good luck to you and I know you will love yourself even more after the tummy tuck. God bless 💜
