2 years ago I lost 60lbs and started running. I noticed I still wasn't happy with my body and decided to start saving for a mommy make over. A couple months ago I went for my consultation and paid in full! I am 5'2 150lbs. I had my kids when I was young and have never had the flat belly of other people my age. I'm very ready to have this procedure done!

I will have a new body! I'm still more excited than nervous! My pre op appointment call should be today. Anyone have advice on questions I should ask? I forgot to put in my intro post that I am having a tummy tuck, lipo and breast augmentation. I am opting for sientra implants and am pretty pumped about that! I need to put some before pictures on here pretty soon! I'll try to get to that today.
Any advice on handling swelling afterwards? Anything I can take that will help with it?

I had so many questions during my waiting process. I kept a running list and brought it with me to the pre-op appointment. Some that come to mind - will you have drains, how many? Will you need to do any bloodwork prep? I was surprised to learn that many people do not. How long can you expect to be under during surgery? What size implants will you be receiving, will they be under the muscle? Is there an option to stay in the hospital for an added cost (highly recommended). As far as swelling - I've been preaching here the last few days about the benefits of coconut water. I am a firm believer that is it one of the main contributors to my healing and it aids with swelling as it hydrates you. Obviously the more water you can intake the better and avoid foods with sodium. I think the more reviews you read on RS you'll quickly become an expert on Mommy Makeovers!

I am 5 days from the flat side! I realized I haven't really told my story yet so I thought I might now. My husband and I were married at the ripe age of 22 right after college. A couple of months after our wedding we found out we were pregnant with our daughter. A couple of years later I gave birth to my son. Both children were born via c-section. The point is-my body has sucked for a long time! I gained weight over the years and at my heaviest was 190lbs. 2 years ago I started eating right and running. I lost 60lbs and have pretty much kept it off. My body was still not how I wanted it. Struggling with my body image and only wanting to have a normal looking stomach and breasts, I turned to plastic surgery. I have had my surgery scheduled for a couple of months and am very honest with people about it. I don't look at plastic surgery as taboo and I hate when women or men hide it from people. I am nervous about the recovery but oh so ready!
