I am a 30 year old mother of two, ages 12 and 9. Pregnancy took a toll on my body, ruined just about everything. I lived with it for a long time, knowing that one day when I could afford it I would finally get my mommy makeover. And the time has come!! I've lost 40 pounds and have kept it off for about a year and the tummy tuck/breast augmentation/lipo is the next step in getting my body back. I know I am not going to look like a supermodel when I'm done, but I will be the best me I can be!

I had my first consult on March 4th and I have to go back to set everything up on the 15th, and I cannot wait! I am hoping that I can get in before the end of the month, I just want to get it done asap!! I am so glad that I came across this forum! It has been so helpful with advice and just knowing that there are others out there that are going through the same things makes me feel much better!

I really am!! I was hoping that it would be in March, but thats ok, I've waited 12 years another month shouldn't be too bad!!
March 16, 2011
I went for my consult on Feb 21 and was hoping to get the TT in early March... Little did I know that he was booked up until April! That just means they are good surgeons if they are all booked up for a while right!
