How about a tummy tuck--the mommy makeover kind? What do they run?

I've always wanted one, since my first child. The first time I ever brought it up with my husband he was more dismissive of my feelings than he'd ever been. He thought it was unnecessary, but now that I'm much older I don't care much what he thinks. I'm going to find a way to get it.

I don't feel as horrible about my baby flap that I used to. I developed a new appreciation for life and everything one day, when I ran across a picture of a line of women standing naked. They were in line for the gas chamber. :'''( I studied that picture for a long time and it was utter sadness to behold and I will never forget it. But I learned things about women's bodies that I never knew before. I don't want to trivialize that event ever at all, but that photograph had a profound effect on me in ways aside from the obvious.
