I had my second daughter 13 months ago, I have lost that pregnancy weight, 70 pounds maybe, and return to my pre pregnancy weight. But I have a lot of saggy stomach skin, no matter how hard I exercise, the loose skin won’t go away. I am considering a tummy tuck, but I know nothing about it. Does it hurt bad? Is it worth the pain?
