WORTH IT$8,500

I'm a mommy for FOUR healthy boys! I nursed all four of my boys and gained 80 pounds with 3 of my 4 boys. I feel like my body has done it's job of carrying and providing for my boys, now I'm ready to have my body back! I have always been very athletic, played all sports, played college sports, am in the fitness field, run and exercise almost everday....My tummy skin is sooooo stretched that no matter how far I run or how many crunches I do, it's not going away. I'm sick of feeling embarrassed about it, to the point of where I don't like my husband to see it or for sure touch it, ewwwww! The rest of my body is pretty toned, but the flabby ol' tummy. My breasts are about to hit the ground, always have had large breasts-DD. Although after nursing they have slowly gotten smaller, I believe I'm about a C cup now, which is perfect for me and my activity! My husband wouldn't mind if I also did implants, but I really think I'm going to stick to a lift. I live in the middle of South Dakota, so finding a close doctor hasn't been so easy. After finding I believe a great doctor, emailing pictures, and doing phone consultations I'm scheduled for my surgery and I can't got dang wait!!! July 24 is my day, I'm not nervous or scared..as of now, but very excited and overwhelmed with the support from my husband and my mom....my two biggest support systems!

I'm about 5'6 and I weigh between 137-145 on any given day. I'm fairly muscular every place, but my saggy tummy. I'm a fitness leader/instructor so I work out and run a lot, but that tummy isn't going any where!

I forgot to add that I'm 5'5-5'6 and weigh 137-145 on any given day. I have been looking at all the different pictures, reading other women's stories, talking with other women and I think that I'm going for the implants also. I was going to just do the TT and breast LIFT, but I think I'm loving the look of the FULL perky breasts. Dr. is sure that he can make me a C-D without the implants but if I want the superior fullness on top, he would go for the implants. I have always been a D cup and I would like to stay at a D, my husband really wants me at a D!! Imagine that :) 49 days until pre-op appt and 50 until a more confident ME!! :) I'm so happy that I'm doing this and I love this site for all the support and love!!

OK I am close to you. I am 5'4" and about 130-132... i will say that now that im on the "other side" Im glad I got the implants... and your tummy WONT go anywhere. believe me over 12 years or about that much time and mine didnt do anything but sag with skin. But look at my pics ...I'm posting new ones now.... I think you'll be so happy in the end.

Soooooo I found out I'm closer to the low end of 5'5 today!! I'm shrinking!! Your pics are amazing girl! Your pre op pics do look a lot like mine, but my tummy is worse, ewwww. I run almost everyday of the week any where between 2-5 miles, depending on time, clients etc..also have been doing a lot of circuit work and core work with my clients and I'm soooooooo sick of my flabby tummy bouncing and folding up, ugh! I decided to do the implants also, very excited about that!! Keep me posted on your healing and keep posting pics!!

I will. I go in on Thursday to see the PS just to see how the revisions are healing..I almost feel like im being a perfectionist with some things. Youll be glad you are getting the implants I think... And your tummy isn't worse.. just different. I had like 15" of just saggy skin removed.. haha. but I understand .

Hi beautiful ladies! 35 more days and it's my...

momwboysJune 19, 2012
Hi beautiful ladies! 35 more days and it's my turn, YAY!! I'm so ready, I'm beyond ready :) Today is our 8 year wedding anniversary! On our 9th I'll be smoking, although my hubby says I am already..what a great guy. Have read a few posts on husbands that are a lil insecure with the MM and how some aren't very supportive. My hubby and I had a good talk about this and he actually feels like he may be a lil insecure after, but is very open to talking about it...which I think is GOOD! This is also coming from a very handsome man with a smoking hot body, talk about being insecure...I am when I'm by his side. I think I'm getting things lined up for surgery. I'm gone the first two weeks in July for vacation and home a week, then off to surgery, so these next two busy weeks in June I'm trying to get as much put together as possible. I have met a wonderful lady on here, Cornhusker who had the same PS as me, so she has been great help and is probably getting sick of me!! Ha ha ha :) I'm traveling 6 hours for surgery, so I need to take lots of pillow/blankets... My PS really doesn't have a list of things that I need to purchase, so as of right now I don't have but a few things on "The List"..... All my husband is saying is "I'll get the frozen peas" LOL I'm so excited and it seems like the time is going by fast, which is good :) I love reading all the stories and I feel like a lil kid in a candy store with all my questions!! Happy healing to all and I hope the time flies for us who are waiting :)

1of5, we are getting closer! How is the preparation list coming? I have NOTHING yet and I thought I would have everything by now....I just keep reading and thinking that I don't need that or I can get that later. We have family vaction coming up for about the first two weeks of July, I need to get my rear in gear! Glad about the vacation, it will make July cruise, although June is almost over :/ wow!
