I have 5 children, ages 17, 14, 4, and 13 month old twins. :) Love them all so much, but they have destroyed my body! Before having twins I knew I wanted this done, and after having them I was completely certain. From what I've read, most Drs recommend waiting a year after having children....so I am ready!!! I've been researching BA's and TT's as well as Drs in my area. Wow there is so much information! My husband is totally on board with this, he knows it will make me happy! Which is such a huge relief!!! I'm hoping I can get away with a mini TT, I don't have a loose skin above my button. Fingers crossed! My c-section recovery was horrible and I can't imagine going through the same pain again, this time with toddlers to run after!! I think I will pass on my tummy if a full is required.

So!!! The next step is to figure out WHO I want to set a consult up with!!! And once that ball starts rolling.....

Thanks for starting your story! Do you have any doctors in mind yet? Here's a list of surgeons in your area who perform mommy makeovers. Maybe your older kids could look after your younger kids while you recover?

Although it sounds ideal...the 2 oldest are teenage boys! They may surprise me! :)

Wow! I can't believe I'm doing this! I'm so excited! I was such a big chicken about calling to make an appointment. Haha!! But I did!!! I wish I could go sooner...but 3 weeks isn't that long. Or is it!!! I've been obsessing over this for weeks! Gotta keep busy until then! Here are a couple before shots of my belly. Ick. Can't wait to look "normal" again!

Consult day!!!!

MummaX5kids
What a day!! When I made the appointment it seemed so far away. I felt so comfortable throughout the entire consultation. We talked about a full tt. Funny how I didn't think I'd have enough skin....appears I have plenty! Good news? Haha!! He doesn't think I need anything done with my flanks, said I have a nice waistline and the MR should pull everything in. :)))) Yay!!! He also said I may have only ONE drain for about 5 days. One is good...if I have to have any. I tried different sized implants on. After taking measurements, I am a middle B cup. I always thought my VS bras were sized larger than I really was....but wow! I was WAY off!!!! Hahaha!!!!! Annnnnywho....I am leaning toward 400 cc's to achieve a middle D cup. (Wonder what size VS bra I would need then?) Any B cup ladies get 400's?? I still can't believe I'm doing this....and I really can't believe how awesome my husband is being about all of it. I'm a lucky girl :)
