I'm 5'4", a Mother of 3 kids, 5,3, and almost 2. After putting on the most weight with my 3rd (last weigh-in before having her was 220lbs), i lost my weight and got down to 140 lbs - (but now because i'm nervous for surgery i can't stop eating and now am up to 149 lbs) so when i'm lean and eatin clean...my stomach is so saggy and horrible looking! can't wear any tight shirts with jeans because my skin hangs over.....very attractive!

I've decided to get lipo on my flanks because i want the best apperance as possible. My doctor kind of tried talking me out of it, but i insisted. I've also been blessed with the saddlebag wings like my mother, so i'm getting lipo there as well...taking advantage of this opportunity! I'm registered for my first 1/2 marathon in November in Malibu with some girlfriends, so i'm hoping it'll be a speedy recovery so i can start my training! wish me luck! i'll keep you posted...surgery is tomorrow!

Youre going to look great!

WELCOME! I have a question, why did your doc. try to talk you out of it? I mean did they give you a reason? Is lipo all you have planned? What ever you DO, We are all here
for you!

i got a full TT with muscle repair, and i just wanted to take advantage of the surgery and wanted the best looking tummy i could get. So i thought lipo would help with that. I knew this would only be my time to get something done like this and i was scared i would have regreted "not " getting the lipo and be picky with my results.
I also got my stubborn outter thighs done (AKA - my mama's saddlebags i inherited from her)

We'll soon see if it was worth the money!

OMG GOOD LUCK! I am so happy with my new tummy and I have a good feeling you are going to be SUPER pleased with yours. You have a nice shape already.

See you on the other side! Dr. Chong is a genius.

I can almost see why he didn't think you needed lipo... You do not really have a lot of fat like I did in the hips. Funny, I was not even considering lipo and he suggested it, and now I see why. It was not an up sell, although it cost me more, it definitely made a difference in now I look now!

You are going to be so skinny!

Well thank you, but i slapped on almost 10 lbs right before surgery - going to Mexico eating like a pig at all inclusive restaurants/buffets, and not stopping when i got back! Such an emotional eater!
I already can't wait to start working out so i can drop that extra weight!

So i survived! When did you guys take your binder off to take a peek? I don't think i'm in any rush because it seems so complicated to put back together!

I've been able to cuddle and read a book to my oldest (51/2yr), but she turned and looked to me and said," mommy, i sure wish they didn't do what they did to you"! - broke my heart:(
and my 22 mth old keeps on banging on my door yelling mommy, not understanding why i can't be with her!
Go for my f/u today, trying to think of what questions to ask him? I already feel like i have bed sores and so badly want to sleep on my side.
I find it very difficult to, to try to get in/out of bed w/o using my stomach muscles? me and husband r trying to figure this out.

Hi Angel, congrats to u and keep us posted!
March 16, 2012
It will be worth it I'm sure. Getting out of bed IS hard. I had to have my husband basicly just pull me into a sitting position so I could get up..You do need to be up and moving if possible. Of course I had no lipo so my bruising was not as extensive. I do know a trash bag on the seat of the car was a BIG BIG BIG help because it was slick. My sister works in a hospital and said they have something like that to help manuver the paitents. I did not like it in my bed but you might... Keep us posted and soon, I promiss, this will be a distant memory and you'll look on lhe outside like you FEEL on the inside!

thanks for that, i might try that today for my f/u appt!

so went for my follow up...he said everything was awesome. Getting the drains out on Wednesday. Got home at about 4:30, and holy [RS bleep]. I'm moody, irretible and itchy as hell!!
He removed my gauze and now that's annoying me, feel like i'm not sitting right! So i got my husband to remove my binder and i put a tanktop underneath it. He said i can shower tomorrow, but i don't really feel up to it..seems like way too much work right now!

I really want to see your results! We look exactly the same! I bet you look awesome.
March 20, 2012
ajsobrio, are you getting a tt as well?
March 21, 2012
I am in the research phase now. I'm hesitant because we have two boys right now and even though we feel totally as if we are DONE having kids, there's always that part of you that wonders. I'm only 28, so who knows how I'll feel in five years. At the same time, I can't just keep waiting and waiting to get my body back under the possibility that I MIGHT at some point have another kid. So, I would like to do it this summer...I think I also want a boob lift. You look AWESOME. We have the same body type. Somewhat straight up and down and athletic...you look soooo good! Congrats mama!
March 21, 2012
Well thank you! Where do u live? ya, better make sure your done having those babies before u decide! It's a big decision, your still so young:)

I live in Illinois, but am researching PSs in Indy area since it is 2 hours away and I feel that there will be more qualified, talented PSs there. We don't know if we're done, but we do feel strongly that we are *probably* done. It would be at least 4-5 years until we have another, which would put my TT out around 7 years. I just can't wait that long. And I'm tired of working my ass off at the gym, and not feeling like I look any better, because the parts of me that look bad cannot be changed via exercise alone. Plus, I'm young and I want to feel hot! Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm in my 20s because I feel, and feel like I look like, I'm much, much older. I'm antsy to see how you look now, and am thinking about that scar. I hope it's not giving you any more problems...
