I have has 2 lovely children the youngest is 15 months and have decided that that is the last baby we a going to have. I love going to the gym and always have done but after the pregnancy and birth of my 2 kids it has left my tummy totally saggy and full of stretch marks, to an extent that I am very embarrassed by it. I am a size 8 but feel hat I always have this bit of belly over my jeans and no matter how much I go to the gym or do sit ups it makes not difference. My breasts are also droppy and I am a 34 b Nd not happy with them.
I am 40 next year and just want to be happy with my body and know that this will give me the confidence that I need Nd doing this for myself.

My husband and I were just taking about it and he said why don't you just find out about how much a breast enlargement would cost, so I did and it was quite expensive but also came back with the idea of a tummy tuck too. Researched it and found a place in Belgium, Brussels and had the consultation in London. The cost of a tummy tuck and breast inlargement was half of what it would cost in the UK so my husband said I should go for it. He is totally supportive of me doing this so that's half the battle for me. I researched having the surgery in Brussels as well as the surgeon as well as other people that have traveled from the UK and it has worked for many people. My only worry for aftercare BUT it would be done here in the UK.

I am feeling very very very excited as I have never had a flat tummy or a cleavage and its just a dream come true for me as I am very body conscious and I eat well, exercise and take pride in how I look so this is so important to me especially that my husband is supportive.

My main fear is that how will I cope after the operation with my 2 young kids (3 years and 15 months) and also whether people will know as I really don't want anyone to know. It's my body and my business and will only tell people I feel comfortable with. I don't know how I will disguise it from people and I can't exercise for 6 weeks and what to tell my friends at the gym why I am not training as I normally do high impact things at the gym like circuts and running.

I have learned nothing yet but hope to get some support from others who are in the same position as me and I would like to do the same in helping support others and this is quite a big decision for many of us. To be honest I am pretty terrified.

Well, hope this is an insight as to my journey and look forward to getting to know you all.

Hi yummymummy01, I completely understand your situation from every aspect , your children, not wanting anyone but close friends your business and as well as your gym situation . I had my TT and BL with lipo on march 19 of 2013, with that said its been 3 weeks for me sooo girl let me lay it out for you lol! The first week is the hardest you defentilly need help . Now everyone's experience is different as well as pain tolerance I considered myself one of the lucky ones because I was up and moving and changing diapers but not cooking or cleaning. The worst part and most uncomfortable is the drains they are honestly the most annoying thing EVER. make sure you keep track of your pills at least four days because they do help and Omg constipation kills so get some enema sorry I have to be honest with you. In regards to your gym situation it's simple " LIE" I told my gym friend I got bad infection so lol, I'm not a liar but their times when you need to, especially if its not their concern . Besides you've earned it and sometimes people don't have best interest at heart , haters will always hate lol well e- way I wanted to wish you luck on your journey and if you need anything let me know you can always private message me. don't be scared just patient. Byeee
