One of the girls at the gym just had plastic surgery to have them removed from her lower abdomin after having two kids. I can inquire about the cost, but, she was restricted to no physical activity for 6 weeks, not even treadmill or bike.She is now 12 weeks post surgery and still has pain associated with it keeping her to light cardio and super light workouts. The pain that she went through, according to her, outweighed the outcome of the surgery.
