Healing Process- Full TT with MR & BA
I have has 2 lovely children the youngest is 15...
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.
