WORTH IT$13,500

I am a mother of three and have been considering a tummy tuck since my first child was born 13 years ago. I never wanted big breast or wanted implants but now that I am going under for my tummy tuck I thought it would be a good time to make my body more proportioned. I have wide hips and have always had a hard time finding pants that fit my waist and dresses that fit well on the top and the bottom. am currently 135 lbs and a size 4. I would like to be 130 but my body seems resistant to that number. I am okay with 135 but I am worried that I am going to gain weight while I recover. On an good week I work out about 8 times and on a bad week about 3. I do alot of different things to keep it fun and keep my body working. I do kickboxing, spin, zumba, bodypump, videos and I run. I have been reading reviews on this sight for about a year now and figured I better join since my surgery is only a month away.

I forgot to write that I am 5'5 and I am having silicone implants and a full tummy tuck. I am not sure about the size of my implants yet but I want to end up a full c. As I gain muscle mass I seem to be losing my breast. I wear a 32 b but I am pretty sure I am now an A. I am also one of those people that look fine in clothes so everyone always thinks that I am crazy for doing this but I want to take my clothes off and be happy with what I see. I am probably in the best physical shape of my life but my body does not reflect that. Why can't I be both healthy and hot.

the hardest part to meas the lack of endurance.. but dont push it..Your body needs time AND energy to heal well.....so just keep that in mind ok

Good for you for fitting all that exercise in. I think keeping it fun is the key! Looking forward to following your journey.

I had a good day today. I ran three miles at 6am and did a short ab video. I am going in to see my PS soon to finalize implant size. Can anyone give suggestion of the amount of cc to go from an a to a c. I do not want to look huge or fake.
