Mommy Makeover Scheduled!! Nervous and Have a Few Questions!! -Salisbury, MD

Well, finally I am fixing this post twin pregnancy body and I'm so excited! I joke with my husband that I feel like my body looks as if I stood really close to a fire and I melted! Lol!!

I have a lot of anxiety about recovery though, and I worry about how my kids (2 1/2 years old) will react to seeing mommy hunched over and laying around. I will thankfully have a lot of help so I'm sure I'm worrying over nothing. My guilt is killing me also because I really hate that I'm spending a large sum of money on myself:(. I just keep telling myself that I deserve this now and it is going to make me a happier mommy!:)

I went to my consult the other day and the PS and I decided on breast augmentation and a "skin-only" mini tummy tuck. I was just planning on a BA but after showing him my loose skin he recommended the mini. I didn't even know there was such thing!

Now my biggest questions for everyone are: How long until I can work (I'm a hair stylist)? Saline or silicone gels!?!

Surgery is scheduled for less then a month and my pre-op is just one week before surgery. I just can't wait and hope the guilt subsides a little so I can truly enjoy this process!

You sound a lot like I felt. Its hard as a mom to find any reason to spend money on ourselves - but you DO deserve it. You gave birth to them and will be caring for them for the rest of your life.. I am 5 days post op, so if you have questions feel free to message me and Id be happy to help anyway I can.

Well, the surgery is getting closer and still very anxious for my pre-op appointment on April 23rd. I think I've decided on saline implants mainly for safety reasons and the fear of the unknown with the silicone gel. The FDA requiring MRIs every 2 years without the coverage from insurance further adds to my decision. I have started to diet and run a little extra in preparation for this mini tt. I want it to remain a "skin-only" without muscle repair so I'm trying not to gain weight! :). I will be posting before pics soon!!

The surgery is almost here and I just can't wait to get it over with and see the outcome! I have zero patience! Lol! I'll have more to post after my pre-op on the 23rd. Right now I'm just playing the waiting game!:)
