You ever look in the mirror and all you think is "yikes, what happened to me?" That is me. I warned my husband 6 years ago when our first was born that this was going to happen. I am my mothers daughter so I got the stretchy waist that, well, didn't stretch back. I seem to gain weight in my waist first and the loose skin just gives it more room! I had both my kids via c-section so i have scar tissue built up on one side more than the other. Here i am 3 years after my second and I finally decided to schedule my tummy tuck, muscle repair and lipo of the bilateral flank area. I am 35 with two kiddos, 6 and 3. I weigh 138. I am excited to introduce myself to the new me in 26 days! All I can tell you is "she" is in for a treat when all this is over!

CG/ Bodyshaper question: So my PS says they will provide one CG and that is all I need. In conversations with other realselfers and family friends I understand that a lot of people decide to go with Spanx or other body shapers after a couple of weeks. I also hear some ladies wear both the CG and the body shaper at the same time...when do you start doing this and which do you put on first? I found myself at target today staring at the two isles of body shapers feeling like a fish out of water. I mean, do you get a tank shaper, bodyslip, one you pull up, hole or no hole? Really? I left empty-handed...any suggestions?

Bromelain question...When are people taking this. No, my doctor did not have this on the list of medicines but I hear it does wonders for swelling.

Scared I am going to get sick before the big day. I almost broke down and bought a surgical mask to wear when I take kids to get the flu shot tomorrow. I am not a germophobe but I am starting to avoid some public places like the plague...like kids play placesand the like. Hope this in normal

15 more days and I added new before pictures. I am hoping to wear the same thing for my after pictures for a comparison.

I did a search for doctors in my area and looked at many pictures of their work to see their artistic style. I loved what I saw from Dr. Duncan. As an artist myself I liked that she took pride in her work and spent more time with her patients to make sure she did her best. She positively is the best at what she does or she wouldn't have gotten so many awards. Simply amazing that she spent an extra hour with me while I was under so she could get things perfect. I was not charged more for that hour (except by anesethiology) and I am excited about my results. Her bedside manner is great and her staff has always been wonderful. 100% recommend her.
