US Mom's Honest Tummy Tuck Story: From Laser Tag Embarrassment to Self-Love

US Mom's Relatable Tummy Tuck Journey: 'I'm Tired of Looking Pregnant' A US mother, known online as ♡ Shelbie ♡ (@thesalyer5), recently shared her experience with diastasis recti, a condition causing abdominal muscle separation after pregnancy. In a candid video, Shelbie explains that three pregnancies left her with a persistent "pregnant" appearance, even after reaching her goal weight. She said, "Each one tore me up from the floor up." This impacted her self-confidence and led to an embarrassing incident at a laser tag center where she was mistakenly refused entry because the staff assumed she was pregnant. The emotional toll of this experience prompted her decision to have a tummy tuck. Shelbie's story highlights the challenges faced by many mothers postpartum and the importance of self-care.
