Mommy Makeover scheduled September 7th!

By DeeMarie on 24 Aug 2011

Hi everyone! I can't tell you how happy I am to have come upon this site! I am a NERVOUS wreck! I have had 2 c sections and gained weight with each child as they both were over 10 lbs. I have always had large breasts, even as a teen. But once the kids came along, well you know the rest. I am 46 years old and have kept off 43 lbs for 4 years. My breasts feel like 2 grapefruits in a pair of nylons, and after 2 c sections, appendix removal, and tubal ligation, my stomach is a mess of excess skin & absolutely no muscle tone. I am a 40 DDD now and although I dislike them very much, I am terrified of looking like an overweight man when all is said and done. But my ps assures me that he will start conservative, and make sure I will look in porportion. I figure getting my belly smaller will help in the appearance as well. I am also so scared of the recovery from the surgery. I am a hairstylist and worry about recovery time. But eveyone's story here has been so inspirational, I just had to share my fears and am in hopes there maybe someone out there with words of wisdom for my situation?! Thank you all so much who have shared already. Your words are truly inspirational!

Thanks Angie! I'm hoping I'm ready, but I don't think I am! Mentally, I am a nervous wreck! But I love this board and am so glad I came upon it! I posted my story twice on here so I can't even keep this straight! LOL thanks for the encouragement!

I'm so glad you get to have this done. 10 pound babies are big. (Mine were around there, too). Sounds like you're ready and a great candidate for a Mommy Makeover.
