Mommy Makeover After 2 Pregnancies (29 Years Old)
Here are some before pics...I can't believe I am...
here are some before pics...I can't believe I am posting these, I don't even allow my husband to see how horrible my belly looks. But, i figured it would be good to see especially when i am in pain or having second thoughts about having gone through with the surgery. I will remember how terrible I looked before. Maybe it will help someone else who is feeling down...so i guess its for a good cause. I am realistic I know my stretchmarks won't all disapear but at this point anything is better then what i have now. I'll definately post some after pics as well. I week to go before my big day!!!!!Here goes nothing...
Today is my first day home after my mommy makeover...
Today is my first day home after my mommy makeover - done yesterday 3/24/10. I am so happy the results couldn't have been any better i think. I didn't get the pain pump but surprisingly i don't have much pain. What bothers me the most are my breast and that is more of a dull achy kind of pain nothing unbearable - i can't really feel my belly, i do feel unfomfortable and a little sore but i am taking percocets for the pain and that is working great for me. Ofcourse i can't move around as much but i am very lucky to have such great supportive hubby, he is doing a great job taking care of me. As for the results - at first i must admit i was disappointed when i looked at my breast i thought they could have been bigger (mind you i was bandaged bandaged up when i thought this) i am such a dope, because when i finally got to see them without the bandages i realized the size is just perfect for me, i can't wait for them to drop and i get to see the final result. As far as my belly OMG my stretchmarks are gone! i didn't think it was possible but they are (ok well maybe with the exception of a few very tiny light ones,that are barely noticible) compared to what i had before it is truly a miracle. My incision is very low and clean looking, i am actually looking forward to the summer...... My doctor is the best!!!! I will post after pics very soon.

I am super excited! I have been wating for this...
I am super excited! I have been wating for this for 10 years. I am 29 years old and my kids are 10 and 5. I gained 70 pounds with my oldest and when i went into the hospital to give birth to my 5 year old i weighed 200lbs, mind you this is coming from someone who before children was a size 5 sometimes 3, i am currently 5'6 145. My babies both weighed over 9lbs, so i have extensive stretching, non exsistant stomach muscles and hideous stretchmarks that go almost all the way to the bottom of my breasts.I wanted to wait until i was done with having kids and ofcourse had to get the money together - So that time has finally come!
I consulted with 2 other doctors before deciding on my current one. He was not as flashy as the other ones (especially the first one, who made me feel totally uncomfortable and wanted to charge me tons of money and tried to talk me into getting a bunch of stuff done, i left there with lower self esteem then when i went in..lol) I think i made the right choice, he is very experienced, older and was very patient and took the time to explain everything with great detail, not to mention the price is right up my alley!
I am having a tummytuck and saline breast implants under the muscle, inframmary incision, no lipo - although i was hoping to have some lipo on my hips and flanks and the other 2 doctors i met with said i should - my current physician advised me against it and said he doesn't like to perform both tummytuck and lipo of that area at the same time because he said it can lead to more bleeding, nerve damage etc. He said most women find that after a tummy tuck they don't need lipo after all or are able to work it off and if i am still unhappy about it i can always have it done at a later time...i was glad he was honest but i sure do hope he is right.
I am geering up for my procedure i feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!I will post before and after pics very soon. I just have to say this site has been great i have learned so much and so many of my questions have been answered.
