Finally my Turn to Wear a Bikini! - Bellevue, WA

ORIGINAL POST

I'm a 27year old mom of an awesome 11 year old...

I'm a 27year old mom of an awesome 11 year old boy and beautiful 6 year old girl. I'm 5ft 2in and weigh 115 lbs. Scheduled for a full tt w/ muscle repair and breast lift and augmentation in 7 days and I am freaking out! At first, time couldn't by go fast enough. I was ready and have been waiting for this for 11 years. Now that it's about here I am scared to death! I know I still want this it's just setting in that its no longer a day dream, ITS REALLY GONNA HAPPEN!!!

My story is this: I got pregnant with my son at 15 years old. I have a very small build and he was a 8lb 9oz baby. I got huge! Not only my belly but my poor boobies. I started at a barely B and went up to a DDD! My weight started at 105 and ended at 175! I got down to about 125 when I met my now husband and got pregnant again at 21. And I gained the weight again. Right back up to 175. I stayed this for about 2 years before I was just sick of being fat. I hit the gym at least 5 days a week for 2 hours a day and got down to 110. I was soooo happy with the way I looked (with my clothes on) without the clothes I was a saggy mess :( I talked w/ my husband about getting a tt since I met him. I even had a consultation when I was 22 I was so excited! But life happened and we just couldn't afford it. My husband assured me that it would still happen we just had to wait. 5 years latter I had given up on it being a real possibility. It was a day dream (often voiced) to the hubby, lol. But in my mind just not a reality. Well that awesome man of mine has been saving and HAS made it a reality!!! I went crazy I was so excited.

I had my consult in September and time has flown by! The reviews I have read on here have been wonderful and have answered a lot of my questions already. But I think this is just something I have to experience to really understand. I am so nervous but I'm ready for a new me with confidence. Something I have not had for a long time. Thanks for listening and best of luck to all of you.

Thank you so much for posting your stories and photos here on RealSelf. Your husband sounds like a good man! I'm glad he's supporting you in this and that you'll be getting your body back.

If you're interested, I've started a Facebook group called Moms Who Want Their Bodies Back. It's a fun place to share about plastic surgery, weight loss, and just being a mom.

Kimmers' Month by Month Tummy Tuck Diary might also give you some great tidbits. Hope this helps!

It is crazy expensive but I couldn't be happier! Very pleased with my results. Dr. Egrari is an artist and gives fantastic results. His bedside manner however, not so great. I had to travel 5 hours for my post ops and I always felt like they rushed me through them. When I traveled for my final po I was so excited! They were gonna do the po pics. 10 min before my appointment they canceled on me! I told them I had just traveled 5 hours and I got no sympathy. I turned around and drove 5 hours home. They never called me again to reschedule and I was so upset I just never tried to reschedule either. I will try to take my own po pics and post them :)

Eeek! Well that wasn't very nice of them! I have a second consultation with Dr. Egrari in a couple weeks How high up did your scar end up being? Yes, please post your results!

Well...it's higher then I wanted but the scar is very light. I did not have a lot of excess skin above my belly button to pull down. I think how low the scar will be just depends on your body. I will probably get a tattoo over mine ;) I will work on getting those po pics!

I think I might be in a similar situation as you. I don't have a lot of extra skin so my scar will end up being higher I'm sure. But I believe it will be worth it!

Do not like this Dr. Money you paid was too much. If you want to have something done. Dr. Michael Salzhauer from Miami is better so are his prices and his staff is the best.
