I am having a full tummy tuck, breast lift and saline implants in two weeks! I am so ready for this! I had my first child when I was 19 and I was totally unprepared. I didn't know the first thing about how to take care of my body or myself. I gained 75 lbs during that pregnancy, going from about 150 to 225. After having that baby I gained even more weight, never even losing the baby weight. I got up to 250. I had another child at age 22. I was already signicantly overweight when I got pregnant this time and only gained about 30 during this pregnancy and lost the 30 lbs pretty much right after. When my youngest was a couple years old I went from about 250 down to 170. At this time I did not have too bad of saggy skin but I did have "the pooch". And it was kind of big even back then, with terrible stretch marks. I wanted to have more children and my belly and boobs were a hot mess already so I figured how much worse could they get? I'll tell you, two more kids later and it can get much worse! lol Of course my children are everything to me, but I am at a place in my life where I can and want to do something about this. I work really hard today as a full time licensed daycare provider and we have the means to do this. I do feel at times it is selfish of me, but then again, I am always taking care of others and I just for once want to do something really big for myself. My oldest daughter is 13 years old so it has been many years of weight fluctuations and pregnancies doing a number on my body and it is the only thing I am unhappy with in my life. I am by no means at my goal weight. I have recently lost most of the baby weight gained from the last two pregnancies but I have a lot yet to go. I know that having the surgery before I am at my goal weight might lead to possible revisions in my future but I don't care. I hate my huge belly. I feel that if I can get this "removed", like a big tumor being taken from my body, I'll feel lighter, healthier and more able to work out, run, and just plain feel better. I will have re-newed motivation! I can't wait! I made my appointment 2 months ago so the last 2 weeks seems so far still but FINALLY so close!
