Mommy Makeover: Stories

I have 4 (5full term preg) very wonderful, beautiful children, 16,14,7,5... I have been waiting 15 years for a BA, and 5 for my TT. I nursed 3 of my 4, and had an emergency c-section with my last. I have stretchmarks up past my belly button, and have some skin that hangs a little over my c-section scar, my boobs have always been small, but now they sag some too, just want to be up & a little bit bigger to fill out a shirt/dress/bathingsuit comfortably... I have been exercising and getting very frusterated, until I went to a consult and all 4 dr's said the same thing... it's not going to change :(

so... here we are and now

I am anxious every way possible, and actually wish it were sooner to get it over with.
Praying that she has a cancellation :)

My family & friends are being very supportive with the exception of my husband...Not sure I have much to say about that :)... happy it is scheduled

Surgery has been moved up YAY!!! My preop is March 16th & my new surgery date is Mar-ch 29th!!! My husband has been better, not the most excited but easier to 'deal' with... things are falling into place!!

Becoming extremely nervous, considering what all could go wrong, wondering if I should really do this! Also worried about the recovery AND It's a lot of money!
And he is 'pmsing' again, not speaking to me not sleeping, which is stressing me out even more, although I TRY not to let it get to me and I def don't let him know it gets to me... but it doesn't help me & my nerves... wish he was more understanding, and willing to be my friend through all of this...

Today is my pre-op, and I am on an emotional roller coaster, and apparently so is my husband, think mine is due to my husbands, cause I was fine until he called with a bunch of questions. Now I am once again 2nd guessing my decision. This is such a full range of emotion, I can't wait for it to be done!

11 days to go

I DID IT!!! I did it, march 2011, sorry I haven't posted been a little busy with trying to deal with and save my marriage! My husband was VERY VERY supportive emotionally & physically while I was down recovering. Once I recovered and was able to do things on my own he quickly changed to a very unhappy, angry, man. He didn't like me, didn't like the way I looked, my boobs were too big, the scare was from hip to hip... he didn't want to see me in a bathing suit, he didn't want other men to see me in a bathing suit! It was INSANE!! in this very long dramatic year, he was diagnosed with diabetes & depression. Low & behold it was my fault!!! I caused his depression, I created his diabetes... funny how that works!! Anyway, things are slowly getting better. I have to say that at first I agreed the boobs seemed way too big, but since everything has dropped and relaxed, yes they are a little bigger than I asked for, I am getting used to the way I look and am mostly happy with the results. It is not so dramatic though... as my family can't tell I had anything done!!! Maybe in a bathing suit they will be able to tell, but not fully clothed. I don't look dramatically different as he likes to think/say!
