I weigh 120-125 lbs and 5'4". I am having an umbilical hernia repair with a tummy tuck and breast augmentation (silicone) on April 15th.

Actually, I never thought about changing my body until I consulted a friend who I knew had umbilical hernia repair and she told me that a tummy tuck could go right along with it. Then I made a consult appointment and looking through the book I saw all the photos of great boobs and thought, "why not?" I thought I was resigned to saggy boobs and tummy and while it wasn't ideal, I was fine with it. Now that I know what COULD BE, it's hard to stay this way.

I'm super nervous and anxious! My husband is on-board and is excited for me, but honestly I am finding it hard to be excited for myself. I'm more scared than anything and think "what the heck am I doing?"

While I don't like how my body looks (naked), I like how my body feels. It has taken me a year to feel this strong and I am afraid of not being able to feel this strong again and not be able to do all that I do. That is my biggest fear about this surgery (well, after dying, that's number 1). I don't want to be an invalid. I especially enjoy lifting weights and yoga and pilates. I want to be able to do all those things--and more (who knows...be on The Amazing Race, climb a big mountain, sky dive)--after post surgery.

I know 2 people who have had a Mommy Makeover and both said that they would do it again in a heartbeat and don't regret a thing. I'm hanging on to that!

If you click on my name you can see the question that I posted to the doctors....there is a photo attached to that.

I am SUPER NERVOUS and hope this is all worth it! Is it?

I'm also worried because I am currently sick. On vacation, but I went Urgent Care and I have a sinus infection. I'm on meds. My PS is on vacation, so I can't ask her about it.

As long as u don't have congestion in ur chest the day of surgery then more than likely they will go ahead and do the surgery don't stress to much it will only make it worse get some vitamin C and plenty of rest and fluids.

Thanks. I am resting on vacation...while my family plays. Right now, yes, I have congestion in my chest and my head is so stuffy I can't breathe, but I still have a week to get better.

I am on vacation and sick...coughing, sneezing and all around pain! Boo! I called my sugeron's office who told me to see my primary doctor...I can't because I'm not at home, but I went to an urgent care center where I am. They took an EKG and said I had a sinus infection. Currently I am taking antibiotics, Tylenol and Mucinex D. I emailed my surgeon, who is on vacation as well, and she said that's all fine to take. Guess I have to just wait and see how I feel next week and if I will be cleared for surgery or not.
