Mommy Makeover: Stories

Hope you are feeling good. You look great! I'm really happy to hear that your skin looks tighter. I know that is what you were worried about the most. Have a great day. SMILE

Jan007 u look great Hun, resting is key. I didnt even start working out yet till Dr.M gives me OK and even then i will be easy. I Have been promoting Suzzane (Post Lipo Massages) cause it has helped my swelling a lot. But if u dont go, get massge oil and rub urself down (where u got ur lipo) 4 like 20-30 mins. Than wear ur grament all night. That's what I've been doing since shes on vacation. Take care ur pics r very helpful to others aswel. :))

Okay....I must say your Results are Amazing! How did the hubby like your results

Did you do it?

Congrats ....on making your decision.....make sure u post results........I am still on the grind for mine......

Nothing good comes easy...those little road blocks should will not hold u down. Like they say when life throws u lemons make lemonade. Well am just working with my finances. It has cool down over here with the arguments, but they shall return when I am ready.

Hello Jan007 welcome. We have similar situations, I am 35 years old with 3 children. I had my first one at 16. I always had weight issues, I would go up and down. When I told my husband that I wanted to do this he hit me with, I don't need it to go to the gym. Going to the gym wasn't working for me because of thyroids. I started taking thyroid medication and slowly began to lose some weight. I told my husband again that I want to do this and when I'm going to do it. He argued with me until the day of. I am now 4 days PO and I wouldn't change my decision at all. I'm from NY also, NY ear and eye hospital is another good choice, and Lenox teaching hospital. I came to the DR and I am glad that I did. You will need a lot of help during the first 2-3 weeks. I'm here for 2 weeks. If you have any questions just hit me because I'm dealing with it now, it is very fresh.

How did the consults go???

Girl.....the story of my life. Let me first just say welcome to the club. I am in the same extract boat. So happy I am not alone. I did the same as you , I am naturally thin 5'7 and 136 lbs. I became a member of gym to get firm, tone and try to lose my baby belly. For like 2 yearS been working it off. No, success. So I been thinking about a mommy maker this pass year, mind you my hubby is against anything unnatural, plus he is vegan as well. I myself had my first at 15 years old. I am now 32 with 6 kids....I have age well my self, people think I am my kids big sister...lol. I love them dearly. I have accomplish so much in my life from becoming a RN at 22 yrs, two home brought and my family complete...me and my hubby has been together THis month 18 yrs. Yes...long time, but I think me make a great team. Now, back to me want my makeover. I mention to him I want the makeover and O' boy The argument begins. He says o there is nothing wrong with u ..I love u for who u are and I don't cARe what u look like. Okay that cute to say, but I told him its not about what u want, it's about what I want. I told him I am doing something for myself , for me. These kids run our body off the tracks and I say to him, what's wrong with me feeling good about myself and wanting to look great. He told me if I get the surgery...I don't caRe about what he thinks and it will be oveR between us. REALLY! I can't not believe he would say that , but he was really serious. When I want something really bad I get it, he know that. So he knows that I will get it , too. I have had 4 consults last month. He had was about to lose it. Anytime I bring it up...We argue. So I don't talk to him about it anymore.....everyone's relationship is different. I have gotten to the point I am saying to myself I only live once, I want to be happy, but I don't want to hold back myself to make someone happy and not myself. I hope I don't sound selfish. I told my hubby in every relationship being able to compromise is very important......but to him he don't want to hear it. It's hard because I don't want to lose my relationship and I just want it for me. Right now I did my consult, I know what it will cost me, I just need to work on money, PTO at work and choosing a PS. But I am still trying to get him to open up about it he won't. I came here for advice as well. I have my mind 75% made up the other 25% is just afraid of what will happen to our relationship. I am just have been doing a lot of thinking of what I want for myself. I know I wrote a book but I can go on and on. I am not giving up on what I want and having him to get use to the idea of a makeover.
