30 Yr Old, Mom of Two, Getting TT, BA with 350 Silicone, and BBL - Charlotte, NC

I have always been a very conservative person. I hate undressing in front of people, let alone posting naked pictures of myself online. I have read and followed so many stories and loved looking at the before and after pictures that I felt I was taking and not giving back. So......I decided to share my journey as well.

I am 5'2" and 130 lbs I was originally going in for a BA and a TT. I went to about 5 different consultations. That was very hard to do when I have to run a small business, keep up with the household duties, and keep up with my kids. I just wanted to put myself at ease about finding the perfect surgeon. Well, the third surgeon I visited suggested I lipo my lower back so I would have a nice arch and it will define my TT and give my flat bottom a lift. Well somehow we started talking about what to do with the fat after lipo and the nurse and DR suggested a BBL. I liked the idea because it would solve another one of my problems that I hate about myself, which is my flat bottom. Well now I decided to go with a full TT, BA with 355 Gummy Silicone, and a BBL. I decided on the last DR I visited which was Dr Bryan Criswell out of Charlotte NC. He was very patient, calm, and collected. He was not arrogant but he passed on knowledge of his skills. He seemed to be the guy for me! I was VERY scared and nervous about getting everything done at one time because I read in some of the forums that a lot of Drs go against all these procedures being done all at once but Dr Criswell called me in for a second consult just to reassure and calm my nerves some, that everything I am getting done is possible.

Well now I am 9 days away and up late at night looking through before/after pics. I am veery worried and scared. I am scared I am going to mess something up after surgery. I feel like I am not well prepared. I went to my preop and got BioCorneum. Prescriptions are filled but I feel like I need to get more things. My mind is a blur......I need help with what I need to get before the surgery day!!

I am still nervous but at the point of just wanting to get it over with. I booked a room near Ballantyne since I will have to be back at the office at 10 am. I live more than 2hrs away and since I'm getting so much done the Dr preferred for me to stay near by and come back in the morning. Besides all the jitters I am excited!! I broke a mirror today and being such a superstitious person that I am, made me even more worried....well here are some wish pics... Emphasis on wish because I know my body type is not the same as these girls....

I have been going through some personal issues. I pray things work out because I am definitely going through with my mommy makeover. I've waited too long and come too far to back out now.

I've noticed that most reviews are from out of the US, when getting as many procedures as I am. Most reviews are from the Dominican Republic. I know price is a big comparison but what other reasons are there for flying so far and to a foreign land to get surgery? I'm nervous as to why there are not as many procedures done like mine in the states. I just hope I get through the surgery and recovery well. I know time under anesthesia is a big concern with getting so much done and also having to move the body back and forth with me getting things done front and back.... Well time couldn't go any slower.... I can not wait! I added more preop pics....
