I am a mommy of 3, ages 2, 4 and 6. I just booked my surgery and I am still can't believe I am doing this! I have never had a great tummy and have always carried my weight in my middle. I nursed all 3 of my kids for a about 18 months and my boobs really tell the tale:) I have been back to the gym for a good year now and am in pretty good shape, but I still have a big tire around my middle that just won't budge. I am excited, but questioning why I would do this to myself. I am hoping I have a really positive experience. This site has been a great resource and I look forward to going on this journey with all of you!

I'm so glad you found us and are sharing your story here! You are getting the works, girl! Has your surgeon mentioned how to rest comfortably after you've had your tummy AND bottom done at the same time?...trying to picture that, but I know some women do it.

Your body is going to drastically change after this and I Iook forward to following your journey! You'll have fun shopping for swim suits this year!

I had the same thought! He is not doing a true Brazilian butt lift. Since we will have the fat he is going to just add some at the top portion of my butt to make a nice swoop from my back. He said I don't have to stay off my butt at all. I have such a flat butt, i figure for the extra $1,500, it is worth the try:). He has such an artistic eye, I believe in his final vision. I will def post pics of before and after once it gets closer!

FitDiva I am having Dr. Hunstad do my work on 4/24. It seems so far away, but I am sure it will be here before I know it. Yogaluva is getting her procedure done by Dr. Hunstad on 1/17, so I will be following her closely to see how it all goes. Good luck and let me know who you chose!

The ps is just going to add some of the fat he sucks out of me, to my booty. I don't have to keep off of my butt, he just doesn't want to waste the fat:) Love that you are from the Carolina's! Where are you now?
