I am 26 and a mother to 5 (2 biological) my 3 step kids are with me and my husband full time there mother passed away about 2 years ago. I have an amazing family and so proud. As a teenager my weight always fluctuated, by senior year in high school i had dropped a lot of weight and didn't realize it. I was diagnosed with mono was super skinny by that time and did not look healthy. I got married at 21 and got a little too comfortable and gained about 40 lbs and then got pregnant with our daughter the day i delivered my beautiful 9lb baby i was 218lbs. I divorced my now ex-husband about 1+ year ago when my daughter was 18 months after all the lies abuse and cheating

i found myself again and started losing weight. I got down to about 160lbs (i'm 5'7) and i felt good about myself but not great. I started dating a close friend of mine and he asked me to marry him only 3 months after my divorce was final but we were so in love and i said "yes". One month to the day of our engagement I found out I was pregnant. I then blew up again to 220lbs. (ughhhh) I delivered my angel about 4 months ago via repeat c-section and through strict dieting and the wonderful hcg diet I am down to 162 today and still have more weight to drop i am on my second round for another 2 1/2 weeks. After all the weight fluctuation and two beautiful girls and breast feeding i am left with stretch marks skin and NOT 26 year old boobs. I am a momma tiger who has earned her stripes and as proud of being a mom as i am i want my stripes gone. So I have been driving my husband crazy always talking about my body and disagreeing every time he says I am perfect i figured i would join and drive you all crazy :) kidding. I am super excited and cant wait to play at the beach with my kids or feel comfortable to join my husband in a nice bath or to put clothes on and love the way it looks.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! When would be your ideal surgery time?

October 17, 2012
I'm looking at the beginning of January. My husband is also a doctor and his practice is slower in January so it would be easier for him to take time off to help me. I also want to get through the holidays but still be healed enough for my birthday in March

So my hubby thinks I should have the surgery end of December on 12/28 instead of first week of January. Of course this sounds great to me since I would have it soon but my consultation is on 12/7/12 do you think this will be enough notice for my doctor that I choose. Should I call the office and ask if he has that day available? I need input thanks ladies :) getting more and more excited

I think every dr is different. You may want to call and ask if that date would be available if you choose him:-)

As BiB said, each doctor is different. I was initially planning beginning of January, but all the doctors I was looking at were full up through the holidays--Thanksgiving through New Years. When I did find my doc, though--around 14October--he had late January or early Nov. So I went early Nov. They don't need time to prepare for you so much, but they have to have to have the free day to work on you. Also, they need to have time to get your implants. Good luck!
