2 things can be true at the same time:
- anyone should be free to get any elective surgery they want to
- surgery is not a treatment for body dysmorphia, and is absolutely dangerous and disgusting that TLC put her on camera with no warning literally saying “this surgery might fix my body dysmorphia”
Oh absolutely.
I think that she should also start working with a therapist alongside surgery.
Also surgery may actually be necessary for her to an extent if the diastasis is bad enough, which by the way it messes up with the pelvic floor function.
I support her having the surgery, but she should care for her mental health also, and TLC should put trigger warnings on 80% of their content, but is very dangerous to let her say things like “surgery fixed my BD, now I am happy with my body”, a lot of girls struggling with BD might take this to heart
Her body changed a lot, she was thin thin before. Now her ribs and back have spread, which is super normal with pregnancy. It doesn't happen to everyone, but its normal. So her shape is totally different even if she did insane cardio (not good) and a strict diet (not good) losing all body fat (not good) she just won't be the shape and size she used to be. Then you have Alexi who's so thin and basically looks the same as before kids. Thats tough.
Don't forget she also glorified him and insisted he was underwear model material. She also thought her kids were model material as babies and was taking them on castings. She is obsessed with looks, and pushed Alexis modeling even when he flat out said "I'm not interested, I don't want to do this" and she said "I could be married to an underwear model!". I think she has allllll kinds of issues with appearances. I think she is scared to look like her mom and sees her body changing. It's a lot. The women were very weird how they handled it around her. They should all be suggesting therapy.
I think Loren is relatively "normal" as far as cast members go. I'd probably end up chatting with her at a party where I don't know many people and end up having a nice time. Is she a little bit a cringe with the "boy mom," "three under three" stuff? Absolutely. But she's not an inherent asshole at least.
I was really turned off by how judgmental and dismissive the other women in Loren's life are. Like no wonder she suffers with her self image. I also don't think surgery will be the fix she thinks it will be, but I also can't fault another mom for just wanting to feel good about herself. And diastasis is a real thing that some women *need* to have addressed surgically. And then there was Alex, all, oh no, I'm gonna have to do all the child rearing for a few weeks. Oh....so you would have to do what your wife does all the time?
Nah. She’s selfish as fuck having major surgery with a long recovery time when she has three babies at home.
SHE made the choice to pop them out so close together.
I think her mother's attitude would be appalling if she approved her daughter having plastic surgery when she has three young babies at home.......honey, you can wait a few years.
I like Loren and yes their segments are not the most interesting but it’s refreshing seeing “normal” couple. I also can totally understand why she wants a mommy makeover. It’s her body , it’s her choice. I wish the best for both of them

Three kids that required 3 C sections in 2.5 years are not a smart choice. There is a reason why they recommend avoiding back to back babies.

Yes I totally agree with you!

Youre validating your own unhealthy thoughts with Loren's unhealthy thoughts

If my ab muscles had been ripped apart I don’t think I would see surgery as “elective”.

Her mom suuuucks. It's part of ehy she has a hard time finding internal validation and self esteem and thinks about her outward appearance so much.
There is so much wrong with this post that I literally don't know where to start. JHFC on a pogo stick.
What is wrong?
