Posted 1 Mar 2011

I am 38 with 2 children ages 17 and 2, and I really did not bounce back after having the first baby so I have decided that now is the time to do it as I will not be having any more children. Originally I had planned on only doing the tummy tuck, since thats what bothers me most, but my ex husband talked me into doing the breasts too and donated the money for that, I wanna say thank u sir to him...lol.

I will try and post some before pictures as soon as I am able to. I am so ready for this procedure, I am only a tad bit scared because of the anesthesia, but I do know its very safe and since I will be doing my surgery in a hospital and not a clinic, I do feel a little safer, knowing that if anything goes wrong, the response time will be quicker.

The price quoted is for TT, lipo and breast aug, it also includes the anesthesia fee, one night stay at the hospital, operating room fee, tax, implants and surgeons fee.

If u have any question, feel free to ask

Well I am ready, I have cleaned the house spotless, all laundry is washed and packed away, I am just waiting for tomorrow to make my journey to NYC, I will stay with a friend until my drains are removed. I am going to miss my children, this is my first time being away from them and I find myself giving them extra hugs and cuddles this week.

My surgery went well, I am a little sore but not really in pain I got a chance to see my stomach today and I am in love, my scar is super low too, I know I will b pleased. I did not get the lipo to my flanks, because I have sickle cell trait and once had a flare up.....the doc said one of the meds used in lipo is dangerous for people with sickle cell and though I only have the trait he wanted to b safe, but he made it so they are no so fat.

Woke up this morning a little nausea and almost threw up, after that pain I felt in my tummy from the little gag I took my meds and took a nap. I am all fine now, no pain just a sore tummy, I love my tummy already.....I have not seen my breasts yet, won't see them until Tuesday.

I got my drains out today, and got to see my breasts and tummy for the first time.....they r wonderful I would do it again in a heartbeat....can't wait for the swelling to go down to see my final results......will give a better update when I get home on Saturday

I have added some after pictures, I am swollen but I only have a photographer at nites, I love my results, even though I was not able to get the lipo due to a medical condition, cant wait to see my final results

Updated on 23 Mar 2011:
Now that the swelling in my stomach is starting to subside, I am starting to notice how fat my flanks r....the problem is I cannot get lipo because of a medical condition that I have, so I guess I am gonna have to live in the gym for it to look 1/2 way decent....bummed

So I went out last nite, without my binder of course, but I was wearing a compression garment and let me tell u, I was uncomfortable the whole time, my stomach was in knots and stiff like a board, couldnt wait to get home to put my binder on

Updated on 5 Apr 2011:
So I went back to the gym today and took a step class, that was a lot of work, when I was done I was so swollen, but I will continue to go

Updated on 8 Apr 2011:
I dont want to gross anyone out, but, I just wanted to share that I was able to be intimate with my hubby for the first time yesterday and it was not uncomfortable at all, and it was also his firt time getting to touch my boobs, he is so in love with them


Updated on 10 Apr 2011:

So the hubby said he is going to break all the mirrors in the house, because I admire myself too much, and I am now starting to make love to myself...lol

Went out yesterday and wore a jeans, wrong Idea, I was in so much pain, I had to go to my girlfriend and borrow a dress, I guess I am still not ready.....bummer

Updated on 11 Apr 2012:
so it has been 13 months since my mommy makeover and I am still happy with my results and would do it again in a heartbeat, I can no longer feel my scar and it has started to fade

Updated on 17 Apr 2012:
so I have decided to go ahead and do smart lipo on my flanks, because I do have a great looking front, and horrible looking sides it is currently on sale for $1600 total for the lipo and the garment....lets see

Dr. Myers is very patient and listens to everything that you have to say, his staff is wonderful. He is currently a fellow at Lenox Hill hospital in New York, if I had to do another procedure I would use him in a heartbeat

soon2banewme 8 Mar 2011
Only a few more days to go! I am so ready to do this! I'm sure you feel the same :) You will look fantastic after your procedures! What size breast implants are you going with? That's been the hardest decision for me...breast size!
mommy of 5 8 Mar 2011
I hear ya on the breast size! It still continues to go round and round in my head! I am 5'6" 130 pounds long torso and have lots of tissue. He said I need to go with atleast 339 (silicone) to fill in the tissue at the smallest.. So I was content with that as I am athletic and love running, snowboarding, etc.. I am now hoping I won't regret that so I am debating 350's or 375's... They say it's not a big difference but you know it changes the size of cup you are so of course it matters!!! Ahh.. I think I will be happy with a small C :). What did you decide?
Gurlurpriceless 9 Mar 2011
I originally wanted 250cc, because I am not really trying to be bigger really, I am just trying to get some volume, but my doc asked for the permission to go up or down, and I have a feeling he is gonna go up, when i get there on Friday I will tell him I dont want him to go any bigger than 350
Fun In The Sun 3 Mar 2011
Good luck to you next week!! You will love your new body when it's all done.
Ms G 5 Mar 2011

Gurlurpriceless 18 Mar 2011
I used a teaching hospital, but I used a fellow instead of a resident...he is wonderful
mom_me 18 Mar 2011
Ya that's what I was wondering too?
mommy of 5 8 Mar 2011
Congrats and goodluck on Friday!!! We will be healing together as mine is on Thursday:).. Wow, you did get an incredible price! I too am dreading the anesthesia... Godbless!
Fun In The Sun 8 Mar 2011
