I finally booked my Mommy Makeover! So excited!!! I am 44yo...two kids 15mths apart, each 10lbs, and C-sections. Always had large breasts...now they are saggy and sad. I lost a lot of weight a few years ago and got in great shape but lately I can't get my belly off at all! Decided to cut it off :)

Hello, I have a consult with Dr. Hedden on May 13th and I am planning a mommy makeover. I would like to follow you and find out how your experience with Dr. Hedden and his staff are. The price is really good. The only thing different with me is that I have breast implants that are very old and need removed and I am not replacing them, just getting a lift. Can't wait to see your results. God bless and may your MM turn out just like you want.

I had to cancel my appointment. My SUV died and I had to go buy a car which now takes precedence over surgery. I am rescheduling for February 2017.

I'll probably be there for my follow up that day...may not want to ask me then lol! I am getting the tummy tuck, muscles sewn back together, and breast lift. He is throwing in flank lipo for FREE since I am getting the other two procedures done (I'll be his canvas...no problem!) This price is the cash option...save $2k! I really like him...he is well respected. I have stalked this site for a year. I plan on posting my journey...I never would've done this without all these other brave women. Good luck!

Yikes! This is so humiliating. For the record...this is the end of the night after a large meal. I purposely did this so I could compare the "end of the day bloat/swelling" after my MM. I look at these and I am so ashamed at how out of shape I have gotten and I hope that I am making the right choice to do this now instead of waiting a little longer and running more! I am excited about the inspiration of a flat belly. I know what's ahead of me based on the women in my family...the dreaded pot belly of menopause. I may be there in peri-menopause by the looks of it! Yuck! I am getting tummy tuck with muscle repair, breast lift (and I think he is going to even them out to be like my smaller right side...yay!), and lipo on the flanks (for FREE)! Looking at this, I'll take anything and everything...gosh I hate nighttime bloat! Going to finish my glass of Pinot. I have about 17 days left...????

Did you finance your surgery or pay cash? Was Dr. Hedden willing to give you extras or freebies i.e. like the lipo? I was approved for $22K and how it works is they deposit the amount in your account so that you can pay the doctor the discounted cash price.

So I finally understand the complaints about waiting at Dr. Hedden's office. Here for my 2 week lab work and have been waiting for 1 1/2 hours. Ugh!!! I can't reschedule because I am two weeks to the day.
I WANT TO SCREAM ????????????????

Finally met with the nurse. Blood is drawn...H & P completed...consents signed. My first thought was: WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?!?!?! But I am ok now. I may not be absent from anxiety but I am ok.

It's going to be a looonnnggggg two weeks...

I think you are going to be so happy with these surgeries!
I was very surprised that the hardest part of recovery was from the flank lipo. I'm 3 months post op the same things and just now feeling really "healed" and active.

Omg..,thank you SO much for your support, myrica! I haven't found a lot of people from 2016 to share experiences. I'm so glad you are happy with your results! Now I'm freaking out about flank pain...LoL. But it was *free* with the other procedures. How can I say no?!?! I am so excited! And nervous! And I hope I wake up from the anesthesia and don't leave my kids orphaned and my husband hunting for a replacement ;)
