On Sunday night's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jacqueline Laurita decided to have plastic surgery to get her pre-baby body back.

After the show aired, the Bravo reality star took to her blog to explain why she decided to "get her sexy back" and have a tummy tuck.

"I realize that a tummy tuck is a serious surgery, but I checked out Dr. Brent really well first and felt very safe with him. My decision to get a tummy tuck was easy. I always wanted one since I gave birth to Nicholas and lost all of my baby weight," she wrote. "My body just didn't bounce back this time like it did in the past. Dieting and exercising couldn't fix that mess you saw. It looked like an elephant leg."

She continued: "It didn't matter how beautiful my husband, family, or friends told me I was. I wasn't feeling it. That skin had to go."

Laurita explained that she tried to hide her post-baby body under baggy clothing. Even though she thought she was fooling everyone around her, she didn't like the body she saw every time she looked in the mirror.

"Before my tummy tuck, I always tricked my husband with sexy mood lighting and cute, short lingerie dresses that I could lift up the bottom and pull my boobies out of the top, trying to be sexy, while secretly hiding my mid-section. He had no idea that mess was there. I hid it well. I was embarrassed of it. Now you know why! It's gone now, so who cares," she said.

After undergoing the six hour surgery, Laurita is happy with her results.

"I LOVE my results! This was the first year that I actually wore a bikini in many, many years! My neck looks better too. I could really see the difference in my interview in my blue dress. I'm getting my sexy back," she wrote on her blog.

"I healed so well and so fast. My stomach is so flat and tight now! My neck is so much better than it was! I'm very happy with the results," she added.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sundays at 8p.m. EST on Bravo.
