I'm 46 years old, nearly 47 come July. I have two beautiful grown daughters ages 26 and 23. I have always hated my stomach even when I was thin in my teens and into my early 20's. After having my 1st child, when I was 21, my body went back to normal but after my second child at 24 my body didn't recover as well as I had hoped for. Gradually over the years I have put on weight and would lose it easily but now in my 40's I just can't lose it no matter what I try. My stomach has got worse and I can't stand it any longer. My breast aren't too bad about a D cup but they have come out losing the battle with gravity, so they just hang like two sacks. I have had some hard times in my life with my last husband dieing after a two year battle with cancer. But now I'm married to a wonderful man, we got married last year and he says he loves me just the way I am but I not only want to look good for him but more importantly I need to look and feel good for ME!! So here I am about to go through with a mommy makeover, having a full TT and BL without implants. I have had my consultation with my PS and I can't be happier with him. I had to pay a $100 consultation fee which will be deducted from my surgery cost.
The girls at the front desk were lovely and very helpful. My husband and I were taken into the consultation room where we watched two videos on the TT then one on the BL. Very informative. Then Dr. Lee come in and explained everything, pro's and con's of both procedures. He asked me what I didn't like about my stomach and I told him "the whole area...all of it." He spent a great deal of time with us and answered all our questions. Even giving us other options to think about. I didn't feel pressured to make a decision there and then so I was able to sleep on it, which I did. I had to give a $500 deposit to secure my operation date of the 1st June 2012. Just before paying it I told my husband I felt like I was getting cold feet because it made it real. Am I really going through with this???? He talked to me and just repeated all the reasons I told him I wanted this makeover, which made me feel better and I got passed it. Now that it's paid I feel exited again and I'm looking forward to my new body....being able to wear clothes that I haven't been able to wear for many years. It will be so nice not to try to hide my stomach every time I sit down, pulling at my tops to get them away from my stomach so no one can see how big it really is. I know that my emotions are going to go up and down until I have the MM but I can't wait. I will post some before pic's soon.

Here's what some doctors have to say about pain pumps. I've heard women rave about them.

I did not have one so I cant say. My thought is "One mor thing to try to find a way to get comfortable around"Â Just my opinion
