I'm keeping this diary to share with others my experience and also help me remember the process. I don't want to keep a vlog on YouTube to ensure my privacy but I know how much I appreciate reading what other women have experienced with these surgeries. I have read so many and it helped me make many decisions about this procedure.
I went for my consult last week and put my deposit down to hold my surgery date. My surgery date is February 8, 2016. I'm having a mommy makeover.
I'm having a tummy tuck, breast lift, and implants. This part is a revision for me because I had a breast augmentation in 2010. They were previously 425 saline under the muscle and now I'm getting mentor 535cc UHP silicone. I did ask about the 590cc. I'm not trying to get the all natural look. I got that previously. I'm honestly looking for the boobie bombshell look. I previously had my boobs done because they were a small b cup and deflated after having my oldest son. I felt very insecure about them. I was lucky that with that size implant I was a full D cup and after my last two pregnancies I filled out to a DD. Sadly after breastfeeding and weight loss I'm back to a small D but they are sagging and I feel like they are deflated.
A little about me - as I mentioned I'm 36yrs old and I'm 5'3. I am hypothyroid and I have suffered with this for over 10 yrs. I'm on nature thyroid 65 mg but I've struggled with weight loss and low energy. The hair loss has been significant which has not helped my self esteem.
At my peak I weighed 170lbs and that was with my youngest son. I had my last two boys 20 months apart. So I didn't give my body much time to recover and my weight going up and down definitely took a toll on me.
I've been to a personal trainer and I am working very hard with eating healthy. I've lost over 40lbs and I'm just under 130lbs. It fluxuates between 125 and 128 usually. I'm a size 7-9 depending on the brand. I usually wear a small or medium. I have very wide hips. Sadly even with all of my progress with working out my stomach is still a mess. I feel incredibly insecure and it is emotionally and mentally discouraging. I also have muscle separation so no matter what I'll always have that issue. This is why I opted for a tummy tuck.
I have dealt with a lot of insecurity and self esteem issues my whole life. When I was younger I was extremely thin. I got picked on for being too thin and when I gained all this weight with my kids I got picked on for being too heavy. Honestly it's really done a number on me.
My husband has been incredibly supportive telling me that I'm beautiful and he loves me for me no matter what and that he loves my stomach because his babies grew in there. I love him for his kindness but when I look at myself all I see is the damage to my skin and it is something I can't get over. I've wanted this done for over a year and he's being very supportive because he knows I'll feel better about myself when my boobs are perky and full again and my stomach isn't in this condition.
Some will think my issues aren't that bad but honestly each person is different. Even my doctor on consult said I'm not really that bad. However, I know I need to feel better about myself.
I support anyone who feels they need something like this done. I'm going to post as I go and hopefully this will help anyone thinking about having this done. It's a big decision and it's a personal decision. It has definitely not been something I take lightly.
On consult I was told to stop taking any supplements and try to get my vitamins and protiens through healthy eating. I know you must stop all ibuprofen products too within 2 weeks but I've cut all that out now even though I'm further out than 2 weeks. I've been keeping up with my 4 day a week workout routine.
