Ever want to just push a "do over"...

Ever want to just push a "do over" button? Well, I surely have... I'm 35 and a mother of 2 (ages 3 & 4). I'm 5'8 and tired of the mid section hangover. After my first child, my stomach went down some but 6 months later I became pregnant with my second child. Stomach go down? Ha ha ha ha..... not a chance.

I had a c-section in 2008. I dropped 60 lbs with exercise but that muffin top refuse to go anywhere. I started thinking about lipo, then a tummy tuck, then figured... I need both. I later discovered on this website, Mommy Makeover. Yup, that's exactly what I need! So, I'm scheduled for lipo, tt, and a breast lift. Time is flying. I'm excited as well as anxious. I'll load pictures of "the flab" as soon as I can.

Less than 2 weeks away from the big event. I did my pre- surgery blood work on 8/13/11. They wanted it within 2 weeks of the surgery date. That's done. I've been reading about a lot of ladies getting vitamedica vitamins on this website. It suppose to help with bruising and swelling after surgery. I bought some online. Hopefully, they really do help. The only thing my ps suggested was lots and lots of vitamin c and a multivitamin. I plan to get some cough drops before the big event as well.

I'm feeling pretty excited. Wondering about the pain afterwards. I only have 2 weeks off work. I'm counting on bouncing back. Thankfully my job doesn't involve physical activities. It's an office setting. The heaviest thing I pick up is my purse at the end of the day.

Here's a before picture.... showing off my fat rolls.

No implants. I'm going to get a lift without the extra. I'm a C cup and pretty satisfied with the size..... just need a little lift.

Welcome and good luck. I bought the surgical package from vitamedica. I felt it did help with the bruising more than the swelling. I was pretty swollen but my bruises faded pretty quickly.
