Mommy Makeover: Stories

Hello. I am mother to three children. My youngest is three. My body has gone through alot during my three pregnancies. I gained over 75 pounds during my first and my body has never been the same since. I would have loved to have this procedure after that but I knew I wasn't done having children. Now that my family is complete, I am ready to have my body back! I started my research about these procedures a little over a month ago. Google, realself, and youtube have been my friend. I learned that the best time to have the procedure is during the winter months, for several reasons. One - after my procedure, I will have to wear undergarments that, if worn during hot weather, could possibly cause heat rash and irritation. Two - it takes between 6weeks to 6 or 9 months for swelling to go away, healing to occur, and to see your true results. I want to be ready for the beach and nice sun dresses come the summer!! My surgery is a little over one month away and I am soooooo excited. At the same time, I am nervous and a little scared. I have seen some really great results and some really horrible results.... How do you know you have chosen the right surgeon? And I am wondering if I should try going through my insurance company for my breast surgery and save money......
