I decided to join realself.com because I have become so inspired by all of the wonderful posts on here. I have been reading several posts and let me say that this site offers a WEALTH of information. I am looking to get a tummy tuck w/lipo and BA (silcone)

I am 33 yrs old. I live in the Atlanta, GA area. I am married and I have two kids. I have one boy who is 6 and one girl who is 3. I am currently a little over my normal weight because I have been out of the gym for a few months, but I am about 5'5 and 140lbs. However, my normal weight is around 130lb. I am now about a 34 A- lol. I never had big boobs. I was a 34 B before kids and breastfeeding.So, I was about 26 yrs old when I had my son and I was about 120 lb before I got pregnant with him. After I had him I stayed around 128-134 lb. With my second pregnancy ( 2009) I gained SO much weight. I was 180lb at the time of delivery. I worked really hard and got back down to 130lb. This year I have been up and down between 130lb- 140lb due to stress, work schedule, etc.

I have been seriously considering a mommy makeover for about 6 months.
I am tired of the muffin top and my flat chest. My stomach looks a bowl of chitlin's LOL! I HATE wearing bathing suits. I look like a boy or a big ass pear in bathing suits. ( I have some hips/butt) I dont feel sexy any more. I want to be smokn' HAWT like those chics walking around South Beach, Miami .

My husband is so awesome. He loves me the way I am, but he will do whatever to make me happy. So after complaining about my body for years he made me a appt with Dr. David Whiteman on December 27th. Honestly, he/we chose Dr. Whiteman because he did NeNe Leakes ( (real housewives of Atlanta) surgery AND because he has his surgery performed in the same hospital my husband works for. We love the fact that his surgery suit is apart of a hospital ( just in case ...) We did our research on Dr. Whiteman and he is a very well experienced PS. He was very polite, thorough, and very clear about expectations. I felt very comfortable with him. Im kinda sold on Dr. Whiteman :o), but I may see one or two other PS (maybe). But I loved Dr. Whiteman he was really helpful. He recommends a tummy tuck with lipo. He said that my belly button was higher than most women ( strange ?? lol). Also, for my BA he wants to go with a 390cc to 420cc. I THINK Im gonna go with the silcone. I am a little nervous about the size because I dont want to be too big. He said that would put me at a small D.

I am hoping to schedule my surgery for the 1st week in June 2013. I am hoping to secure that date by the end of Feb.but we will see how finances look.

How exciting! I like the idea of a surgical suite attached to a hospital as well. That will give you peace of mind.

Please keep us posted throughout your journey. He's a great list of supplies to consider for your recovery as well as an awesome post by member JenBob about her mommy makeover.

New Pics** So I am adding some post pics eeek! I am also researching now about having surgies overseas. I have contacted Dr. Robles in the D.R. I have also reached out to a couple of PS in Cancun. But I emailed Dr. Robles on this past Friday night and by Saturday afternoon I was contacted asking for pics and to filll out some medical history forms. I was pretty impressed with the fast response even though it was the weekend. I am very nervous about going overseas. You hear a lot of horror stories, but I have had read some hideous reviews about PS here in the USA also. But what has me intrigued is of course the lower price tag but a lot of good work that I have on here from women that went overseas. I am currently keeping my options for choosing a PS open.

I am currently working out to shed those 10lbs I gained. I am hoping to go into surgery weighing 130lbs or less.

Good luck on your search for a PS. It's gonna be a tough one since both are qualified and have good reviews.

Seaflower Dr. Whiteman wants to charge. $9, 971 so you might as well say 10K. With $800 down to schedule the surgery.
