Getting Myself Back Together - Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Hi Realselfers I'm 23 years old and ready for a change. I am a vey active person I go to the gym 4 days a week and play sports. Right now I weigh a horrible 204 and I'm 5"6. I haven't always been this way though :(. 2 years ago I found out I was pregnant with twins. I was so excited because my husband and I were told we couldn't have children. I reached 5 months and had a terrible stomach ache and ended up having both still born. I was devastated and pretty much gave up. My husband was always there to try and cheer me up and make me smile but after something like that you just don't feel whole. As I started to feel a little better I returned to the gym and tried to move on. Before I got pregnant I weighed 148 lbs. Through all of the bad I gained 56 lbs and now it wont seem to come off no matter how hard I try. So that is when I decided to get the bbl. I have never had a nicely shaped butt and I needed to get rid of the "extras" on my upper and lower abdomen, flanks, my inner thighs and arms. When I talked to my husband about it he was thrilled that I was finally starting to think of myself again. So with his support I made an appt. with Dr. Tower at inland cosmetics. I was in the office within a week.( I called June 12th and was in June 17th.) She is amazing! She is so sweet and very understanding and informative. She makes you feel so comfortable its unreal. After I spoke to her and we decided I needed liposuction instead of a tummy tuck I went ahead and scheduled my surgery. It is now less then a month away and I am so excited. I cant wait for my surgery. I have been scouring the boards here and was wondering if any of you ladies have any tips or things I should get? Questions I should ask when I go for my pre-op on the 2nd? I will add before pics tonight. I warn you it wont be pretty lol

So here are the dreaded before pics and a couple wish pics. It can only get better from here. Im getting more and more excited each day as my pre-op gets closer. Im even starting to dream about my new butt lol . I hope all you girls are doing well :)

are the wish pics since they didn't go with my first post lol
