WORTH IT$12,000

I am 25 years old 5'6 and 160 lbs, a mother of two which are 2 and 4, and a wife of six years. At my biggest I was 215 lbs I have recently lost 55 lbs. And have kept the weight off for about 6 months now. Im happy with my weight and ready to do something about the loose skin from my 2 c-sections and the weight loss. Im doing an online consult now just so that I can book my surgery date. My in person consult will be March 13, 2012. Hopefully the surgery date will be March 19, 2012. I am very excited but of course very scared. I dont know really what to expect. My husband will be taking off from work the first week of me being home after the surgery. Then hopefully getting help from my mom after that. Please if you guys have any advice of anything from the things to do before the surgery to things to do after to help with anything please let me know id appreciate the advice. I havent talked to anyone that has done all of this at one time so having some advice would be great!!! Ill post some before pictures and then some after the surgery to keep you guys up to date!!!!

Wow that's so fast! Congrats on weight loss ! As for what you need there are lists on real self that you can look at ! You'll need a lot of pillows, stool softener , milk of magnesia, pineapple or pineapple juice, protein shakes , wipes, some used a toilet seat riser ( i didn't ) , loose sweats , make sure you wear a zip up shirt or hoody to surgery , clean towels to lay on bed, you'll need bacitracin , Benadryl , that's just off the top of my head ! Congrats on surgery and your going to be so happy ! It's a long journey and recovery but totally worth it !

Yeah thank you I hope all goes well ...kind of getting into the stage where I think its selfish of my self to spend this kind of money just on myself I think I should be doing something else with the money

Hi Jessie, I understand what you're going through on the guilt with the money, I'm feeling the same way. You just need to remember everything that you do for your family and how this is only going to help. I just know I'm going to be such a happier person once it's all done and everyone will benefit for years to come! Good luck with everything!!

Just came across your page and wondering how you're doing? You and I are the same height and weight before surgery. My surgery is next week. Will you be posting photos? I'm sure you're feeling great these days!
