Mommy Makeover...feeling amazing

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.

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..

You will get your confidence back and all of the ladies here on RealSelf will cheer you on.

Keep with us and continue to post.

So I went in for my pre-op and I was nervous, but my mom was even more nervous. Dr. Williams went over the whole procedure with her and she seemed to be more relaxed after. Dr. Williams is very knowledgeable, patient, and reasonably priced. His staff consists of very patient and knowledgeable women. I am nervous about my mommy makeover because of the risks not because of the doctor. Trust me if you happen to live in California and you are thinking about having anything done just visit his office-HE IS WORTH IT. Ill update with before and after pictures when possible.

So I went to pick up my prescriptions at 1pm and they did not have anything on record for me. I got so nervous since my surgery is in the morning on Tuesday and Monday is a holiday. I called the after hours hotline because I did not know what else to do and the nurse was very helpful. I felt bad bothering Dr. Williams, but he was amazing and he apologized. He goes above and beyond!

You'll be fine girl. Relax. I am almost 40 and I could not believe how quickly I recovered. I am so happy, this was the best thing I have ever done for myself. It really was no big deal and I would reccomend anyone to go for it if you want to look your best and more importantly feel your best on the inside!
Good luck, you'll do great!
