WORTH IT$10,000
I have been wanting to get a 'Mommy Makeover' for years. I admit that I've let myself go, but am now a gym rat and dedicated to getting in better shape. However, even when I've been slimmed down to my old high school weight I still have some extra belly skin and love handles (never had them before my pregnancy). So I know that will not go away with just diet and exercise. I've been working out on average 7 days a week (sometimes twice a day). Trying to get as fit as possible before my surgery date and as soon as I'm cleared post-op, I'm going back to gym mode.
I'll be getting a mini tummy tuck, lipo of thighs, knees, flanks, mid & lower back, belly, lower face/neck & one syringe of Radiesse.

Tomorrow is my pre-op.
Can't believe the procedure is only 2 weeks away. I bought this from Target to supplement my CG for when I'm washing it or to wear when I'm out of the CG (I keep reading that many people do the Spanx route after the CG) http://www.spanx.com/shop/assets/shapewear/remarkable-results-open-bust-mid-thigh-body-zid38-2271/cat-38-catid-tn_lya_sw Also bought some arnica tablets for after. I've used after PS in the past and I don't know if I just don't bruise easily or the arnica works, but I figure it won't hurt. :) I've been a pretty fast healer and pretty pain tolerant so I hope my surgery mojo continues. Also adding some before pix (it's very humbling to post these--lol)

BTW: My stats
It might be helpful to post my stats: 5'3" and 125 lbs with small bone structure. My goal is to get down to 120 before the surgery (not sure if that's going to happen though). My ideal weight is 110.

You do not look like u would need a mini tuck. R the panties hiding extra skin that we r not seeing? They used to say that 100 # for 5' & 5#'s for every inch over 5'. If that is still true 115 would b a good weight 4 u. Good luck with ur surgery. We will b wanting to c those amazing results.

You really can't see the extra skin. I had pre-ecampsia and suddenly ballooned out during my pregnancy and bye bye elastic skin. LOL Thankfully, he said he shouldn't need to do any muscle repair. I also had a c-section and I have that c-section overhang. :( I had my pre-op yesterday and they took my before pix. Not sure if I'll be able to get those as well. I'm sure they're in better (i.e. brutal--heh heh) lighting. :D Less than two weeks to go!!
As for the weight, I'm very small boned. I was 105 in high school without dieting (just normal teenaged girl eating) and minimal exercise. In college I got more into exercise. I'm also excited that I'm getting rid of some of my lower face fat (still need to get pix of those, but I couldn't get good lighting when I tried). Even when I've been my thinnest, I've always had a little bit of a chipmunk and jawline thing going on (I gain weight first in my face). I've also bought arnica gel and tablets to (hopefully) help with bruising. Also going to stock up on pineapple. It's supposed to be good for recovery and plus I just love to eat it anyway. :D Turned in my prescriptions yesterday and will pick up today. Yesterday, the treatment coordinator asked if I was nervous yet, but I said it hasn't sunken in yet. I'm sure the closer it gets, the more nervous I'll be.

Yes, the arnica was great. I had only one small bruise about them size of a quarter by the lower right incision and they removed 2000cc. I made pineapple smoothies and they seemed to really help and were a nice treat. For some reason the day before e surgery I was sure I was going to die, then morning of surgery I was fine. It is funny how our nerves and emotions do things to us. Good luck.

Funny, my mother had the same though the night before my surgery (about to die and this things) not very nice for my nerves.
Thanks for the pineapple smoothies.

I'm sure I'll start having weird dreams the closer it comes. lol I'm also peppering a friend who's already had lipo with a zillion questions. I'm just under 1.5 weeks out!

Sounds like you're in great shape so your recovery should be a breeze! Hope you get the results you're dreaming of. Just be sure to inform your surgeon of ALL your expectations!
