I am a 28 year old mom of two with one on the way in early January. I have been considering plastic surgery for a little over a year. I lost over 50 pounds after my second pregnancy. I weighed around 180 when I had a couple consultations. I am 5'6 so that did still put me in the overweight category, but each surgeon said that I was a good candidate at the time.

My goal is to lose a crazy amount of weight in a short amount of time (very wishful thinking). I know I will need to lose a minimum of 35 pounds judging by the last prenatal visit. I don't know how much more weight I will gain in these last few weeks of pregnancy, but I have my fingers crossed. I have always had an issue with emotional eating, but prior to this last pregnancy I was on the right track.

Some questions/concerns I have are:
-Can you drop weight quick and get a mommy makeover with good results?
-Will my surgeon still think I am a good candidate?
-Will my surgeon suggest other procedures and add to the total cost?

I have been emailing a patient care coordinator from the surgery center for the last couple months to get some of my questions answered. My consultation went very well, but I had concerns about paying for my surgery. I found out through one of her emails that I did not have to have a surgery date to start making payments. This made in real for me because my quote was 11,890. This sort of money is pretty huge to me so part of me never thought it would happen. Since becoming pregnant I have been sending money each month so I will have it paid off well in advance. I know I will need some extra time to get all the weight off.

Thanks for reading and I will update when I have some new info.

You are planning ahead! I love it. And congratulations on your soon-to-be-born new addition!

I hope you'll keep us posted throughout your journey! Here's a great read by JenBob about her MM.

I can't sleep because of one of the many joys of pregnancy...heartburn! I watched a couple videos of tummy tuck transformations to try to make me sleepy. I can't help, but have this feeling of being out of my league. When I am not pregnant anymore and start my much needed weight loss, I will post some pictures.
My thoughts right now are "I can't afford this, I'm not rich," and I don't look like any of these other women before their procedures." Yikes, I have a long way to to.

I emailed my patient care coordinator Friday to see for sure when the surgeon wants to have another consultation with me. I can't remember now if he wants me to wait 3 months, 6 months, or if it is just when I feel like I have lost all the weight. I haven't heard back yet, but I am trying to get a month in my brain so I can start to mentally prepare. Is that really possible?

I just sent a $3000 check yesterday to the Surgery Center, which makes my balance $7268. I have less than $5000 to go, and I will be paid in full! I hope that having that done will motivate me more to get the weight off quicker. Has anyone else done things so backwards? I just don't know if I will have to cash in the future so I want to get it paid for while I am able to. Very exciting!
