Mommy Makeover... Here I Come - Bay Area, CA
I've been wanting a mommy makeover ever since...
I've been wanting a mommy makeover ever since I learned what a mommy makeover was. My sugery is scheduled for 4/4/11!
My sister actually started the ball rolling by scheduling surgery for next week. We've both had kids and have the same exact "yucky" body, and I can't believe we're actually going to do it after talking about it all these years.
My surgery will include: full tummy tuck; breast lift and implant; lipo in the midsection, flanks, hips and back. Lots of work.
I originally started getting consults with different PS in my area which motivated me to start working out. I started at 175 lbs, and I'm only 5'1"! I started seeing a weight loss doctor who prescribed me phentermine. In 7 weeks, I lost 20 lbs. I would like to be in the 140's before I did this surgery, but due to work and family limitations, this is the best time for me. I have to be off phentermine at least 2 weeks before surgery so i'm praying I maintain my weight in the next 3 weeks.
Aside from that, I'm excited, I'm anxious and I'm impatient. More to come.

I have a final consult appointment with the PS I'm choosing to do my surgery today. My sis has an appointment this morning to do all her paperwork. EEEK! I can't believe we're actually doing this.
My sis had to get her compression garments via the internet cause her mm surgery is on Monday. It cost over $300 for rush shipping and all the garments. She got the gel, binders, bra, garters...all the good stuff.
I just posted pix of my before, and current pix. I lost over 20 pounds taking phentermine through a weight loss doctor in my area. He also gave me b12 shots and monitored me weekly.
Today will be my first day without phentermine, and I am going to be optimistic I won't eat my weight back. My plan is to stay ahead of the hunger, and drink lots of water. I'm going to start my Zumba tapes again tonight. I kind of got lazy. I was losing about 4 pounds a week while exercising and on phentermine. Lately, I've been slacking and losing only about 1.5 lbs a week.
This MM surgery date is motivating me to lose another 10lbs so I can be about 145'ish pre surgery. My target weight is 125 for my 5'1" frame. I'm not trying to be super skinny... just...."normal." (at least in my eyes)
*sigh* If it wasn't for my daughter's birthday at the end of the month, and the fact I have to get the phentermine out of my system for the next 3 weeks, I would be doing the surgery next month. I'm watching/reading all the postings and everyone says "why didn't I do this sooner?!"
Why can't my surgery be now?
