WORTH IT$16,000

30 year old, 5'5", 170 lb, Married Mommy of 3, ages: 3,3 and 6. Down 100 lbs from my highest in around 18 months, had all 3 kids via c-section. I want to have the mommy makeover done to make my outside match the way I feel inside. I am having a tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation and lipo.

I am scared to think of going under anestesia and not waking up, silly maybe. My Husband is very supportive and is completely willing to takeover all my usual duties. I will take the step to pre make and freeze as many meals as I can. Hoping for surgery Summer/ Fall 2012.

Thank you for starting your story with us here on RealSelf! Congrats on the 100 pound weight loss. Wow!

It sounds like you have a supportive guy to help. Everyone has that anesthesia fear, but, in good hands, we all do wake up. And then comes the hard part. But you'll get through recovery and be so glad you did this.

Looking forward to reading more as the big day nears.

No surgery date yet. We just got into our brand new house last month. I have decided to wait until March 2013. By then we should be settled! But it could change and come quicker!!! Thanks for asking!!

Tomorrow is my consult appointment with my PS. My Husband and I are looking to set my surgery for March 19th 2013. I am now at 190 lbs and very mad at myself for not being where I was 2 years ago when i had my first consult. I should be so excited for tomorrow and all the upcoming goodness but I am stuck at being upset with my weight. All I read says that if I lose 10-15 lbs after it should not effect my results. I am still down a great deal of weight and know that over the last two years I have added lots of muscle from training. I am in a size 13 and would like to be in a 11 (although a 9 would be fabulous!!) i hope that my anxiety has more to do with being tired and stressed after hammering out the financial details of the cost!! Hope that my appointment goes well tomorrow and we will be on the fast track to my recovery!!!
