"And most are wildly supportive of everyone doing what works for them, but I'll for sure get those people that just can't help but judge or say nasty things, but I'm going to be honest anyways.

​

"Screw em! You want surgery get it! You don't have to answer to anyone beyond your inner circle! Love your show and seeing your beautiful family!"

"I still have my self 25 years later. You do what you feel is right for you. Judgers shut your mouths."

"This is so true. A few weeks PP, I cried to my husband (while our baby was crying), 'Why would they put me back together this way!' I thought I would immediately bounce into the 'this body made a perfect baby' but we as women as taught so early that attractiveness is currency."

​

"You do what is good for you! I care! Do what makes your heart feel better! If it's surgery... do it. Don't worry about what anyone says."

"This is why I love you! Keeping it real. Always. Women get judged no matter what we do, it's heartbreaking. Wishing you a smooth recovery, and strength to deal with haters/trolls. You got this!"

"Yes girl! I support you. I support every woman to live out her 'real' life, her best life, the life God wants her to have! Be strong. Look past the haters. Your 'Gram team supports you!!"

​

"Bravo for saying the words so many of us think about and struggle with! I, too, have that scar & 'shelf' (perfect descriptor, by the way!) I also have a friend who went through with a tummy tuck for her persistent shelf, and let me tell you, that was by no means cheating - it was a rough surgery & recovery for her!

"But she's pleased with the result & I'm genuinely happy she's happy with the result, and she worked hard for it! Each person needs to do what's right for them and their family and their life - we need to support, not judge each other.

"You & your family have brought me many welcome smiles & light-hearted distractions during this very stressful year - you keep doing you, because you are a welcome bright light in this world. Thank you for being vulnerable & honest & compassionate - we all need more of those things!"

​

"Thank you. I feel exactly the same way. I don't love my scar and it makes me feel like I failed. This process is real and isolating and I'm so thankful that you are using your platform to be open and honest."

"Cheers to you! Nothing to apologize for, and any negative responses you get aren't worthy of your attention. Well done mama."

"Do whatever makes you feel empowered! I would do the same if I had the funds."

​

Preach!!! I don't really comment on social media much but I totally relate to this! I am just soooo tired all the time trying to take care of everybody else and be super mom but stay competitively work."

"You are amazing and I wish more people would be like you and have your attitude. Good luck!"

"I love your honesty. It's ok to do whatever you need to be the best you."

​

"I have the same thing! For me it's not the scar it is the shelf that is above it. I have always been petite and that shelf just doesn't sit well with me.

"I could stand to drop a few lingering lbs from my second pregnancy but that shelf will always be there. I say do what makes you feel complete. Do what will give you one less worry on your already full plate and whether or not you bring all of us along- that is all up to you.

"You do you! I applaud what you have shared so far. And applaud you for taking a step to helping yourself even more. From one shelf sister to another- you've got this!"

​

"I've had 3 kids, all c-sections and my last was 5 years ago. I'm now 42 and I obsess over my shelf more than I ever have before and to be honest I think it's 100% related to social media."

"C section warrior here too. One of the Scariest moments in life."

"More power to you! I appreciate the honesty coming from a tv celebrity! Do what makes you feel like the boss-a— woman that you are! Respect."
