Mommy Makeover with Dr. Ghurani 6/26/13! - Aventura, FL

ORIGINAL POST

Hi all my realself sisters! I would first like to...

$7,999

Hi all my realself sisters! I would first like to say that I have secretly stalked this sight for the past 6 months reading all of your stories and experiences and want to say thank you for sharing your lives. A little about me I am a single 35 yy old mother of a 4 yo. Back in 2003 I weighed 310 lbs and decided to have a gastric bypass. One for my health and two because my themn fiance and me were having trouble getting pregnant. After losing close to 150lbs. I wanted to enjoy my new body for a little while and he decided he didnt want to be with the "new me" Fast forward to 2009 and I finally had a baby. So in conjuction with the massive weigh lose and the pregnancy my body is a mess.

I really need a complete body lift but I have to do it in stages. I have had consultations with Dr. Campos, Dr. Jimerson, and Dr. Salama. Dr. Jimerson's results are amazing but his wait is entirely too long and he kinda rubbed me the wrong way when he was kind of insisting what surgery I should have. While I know I need a BBL I have bigger fish to fry like this gut!!! He just seemed really focused on doing the BBL. Anyways, I had a consultation with Dr. Salama but he was booked until 1/14 so I decided to go with his partner Dr. Ghurani on 6/26. I have to work around when my son will be with his dad for the summer and the best time I an take a semester off.

While I am no stranger to surgery, I feel so guilty for having this surgery. I have been saving up for it and doing a ton of research before I told anyone. I only shared with my boyfriend and Best friends. I have gotten full support from my boyfriend, but two of my best friends feel like that money could go to better things like my 4 year olds college education???? I need the support of ladies going through the same thing because I really do not have anyone who understands why this is so important to me. Also, anyone looking to share a room or caregiver in Aventura in June, let me know.

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! It sounds like you and your body have been through a lot and I'm glad you can do this for yourself. There's plenty of time to save up for college. :)

Here's a great post by JenBob about her MM experience.

Hey Love, I'm a mommy of 6! :) I'm a completely devoted mom (as I'm sure u are)and would do anything for the kids, but it's healthy for us mommies to do nice things for ourselves. Just because we have children, doesn't mean " that's it our lives are over, we're dead!" lol. Life's an adventure, especially with Children. Don't live with doubt, hesitation or for others...you'll regret it later. I say do it!! Do it for you!! Do it to feel bEAUTIFUL naked!. Do it because you Love yourself! Do it because you deserve it! DON'T WORRY about what others think or Feel. My Grandmother(a mother of 13) has always said "opinions are like a-holes, everyone has them but they don't mean Sh*T!" :) With that said, Do you! :) BTW, I'm May 28th with Dr Ghurani :)

Ghurani did my tummy tuck on August 21. So far, I am satisfied with my results. Dr. Ghurani did an excellent job and the EPS Miami staff are professional and courteous.
