Mommy Makeover...feeling amazing
Well, the reason I decided to get a mommy makeover...
Well, the reason I decided to get a mommy makeover is because pregnancy took a nasty toll on my body despite my best efforts. I only have one child, but I'm 4'11" with a small torso. Needless to say I stretched out and stayed that way. To be completely honest I got stretch marks on my left arm, breasts, tummy, butt, and both legs. It was extremely difficult for me emotionally because as stupid as it sounds now I did not believe I could get stretch marks all over the place.
My husband does not mind the stretch marks because he gained 20 pounds during my pregnancy and has matching stretch marks on his inner thighs. Despite all that I do not think my husband will ever understand that women's clothes is meant to show off skin and people can be cruel towards skin imperfections. The one time I tried to wear a bathing suit after having my baby was awful. It was just my family, but they were cruel. My sister still likes to make it know to everyone that I have stretch marks.
I am hoping that this whole surgery is worth it and that I can show off some skin on some part of my body. I am nervous and would really like advice. I will put pictures up when my husband finds where he put the camera.LOL might be a while.

Good luck, you'll do great!
You are a petite little thing!
My advice to you is relax, take super good care of yourself and only listen to people who are positive. You need to be with people who will build you up right now and not tear you down.
The jitters are normal and will pass. Think happy thoughts and focus on the prize at the end of this journey.
As far as the stretch marks..oh boy I have plenty of those myself. I use the Palmer's Vitamin E Skin Therapy Oil on my skin and it has helped greatly. I use it on my entire body after every shower. Give it a try..
