	I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck, Liposuction of the flanks, outer and inner thighs, and Breast augmentation & lift on June 21, 2012. Although I am nervous, I feel like I am ready to take this on!
	
	I am a Mom of two, a seven year old daughter and a six year old son. My weight has flucuated quite a bit in the past 2 years. In July of 2010 I competed in a figure competiton and reached my goal weight of 125. At that time, my breasts were severely deflated and I had so much loose skin on my lower abdomen. Luckily my posing suit covered the majority of it but not all. Since my competition, I have gained 30 pounds and I have been in a major slump in regards to my body. I am ready to turn it around once and for all and gain back the confidence I've lost!
	
	We had our pre-op consult yesterday, I received my prescriptions and instructions for surgery day and I'm ready to go! I am very fortunate to have my wonderful husband and family close by to help out with the kids on surgery day and the weeks following. This site has been very helpful. I love reading about everyone's experiences. As soon as we take some before photos here at home, I will post them!

You are really going to do this! How exciting! You're getting the works, too. It'll be a journey for sure, but I truly hope/think in the end it will all be worth it.
