Tori Roloff from Little People, Big World revealed that she had previously contemplated getting a tummy tuck. She struggled with body image issues after going through three pregnancies.
Little People, Big World: Tori Roloff Struggles with Body Image
Tori Roloff has been giving viewers an insight into her life with Zach Roloff for the past few years. During those years, she went through three pregnancies, one miscarriage, and gave birth to three babies. She saw as her body changed throughout each pregnancy. And at times, it was hard for her to deal with.
However, the Little People, Big World cast member wasn’t just experiencing those body changes herself. She had to go through it all on national television for everyone else to watch. She is grateful that her body could grow a human each time. But it was hard for her to read comments about the changes in her appearance.
Tori’s biggest struggle during postpartum was seeing her family and friends, who were able to bounce back after giving birth so quickly. However, she knows that the jeans she wore in high school will never fit her again.
Tori Contemplates Getting a Tummy Tuck
Tori feels that she has always been a confident person. But going through three pregnancies changed that. She explains that she has diastasis recti. This condition is common in pregnant and postpartum women. It happens when the ab muscles separate from being stretched during pregnancy.
The Little People, Big World reality star reveals that her ab muscles never went back together. So, she feels that she still looks like she is four months pregnant. She saw a trainer for a long time. Eventually, she spoke to him about what she could do to fix that. The trainer told her that surgery was the only way.
Tori eventually spoke to Zach about getting a tummy tuck. The TLC star was serious about it. She explained that she is in the public eye and tired of people talking about her body. She was also tired of feeling “trapped” inside a body she didn’t feel confident in.
Little People, Big World Celeb Starts to See Results
Zach Roloff was able to talk Tori Roloff out of doing the surgery. He had asked her if she had tried to get where she wanted to be without having surgery. And her answer was no. She knew she hadn’t put in the work to see results. So, she put the surgery on hold.
However, the Little People, Big World celeb then found out how difficult the recovery process is for a tummy tuck. She didn’t know if she wanted to go through that. She already had to recover from three c-sections. Getting a bigger scar was also something she didn’t want.
Tori has also realized that she is happy with her current body. She had been seeing results with the work she had put into training for a half marathon. So, the tummy tuck is off the table.
