28 with 2 Kids and Ready for a New Me. Mommy Makeover Here I Come!!! - Chicago, IL

Just scheduled my consult with Dr. Shifrin. Really excited and hope we can get the ball rolling on my new body soon! I'm a mother of two amazing girls and my current height and weight is 5 feet tall and 135 pounds. Working on loosing at least 10 pounds before I schedule my surgery. My weight prior to having my first child was 115 After my first daughter was born at 22 inches and 11 pounds via csection and I had gone up to 170 and shortly after that down to 128. Three years later i gave birth to my second daughter through a scheduled csection which was 22 inches and 10 pounds!!! Very very large children! No gestational diabetes during both pregnancies or any medical issues. With my second pregnancy I didn't gain as much weight about 165 but both were very different pregnancies and belly shapes.
After giving birth to my daughters I felt horrible about myself and could barely stand to look at myself in the mirror. I began to work out and eat healthy and I'm not about to give up on myself. I'm not expecting perfection and although I do have a ton of wish pictures I'm hoping for a positive and realistic outcome. So excited to go through this journey and to finally feel like myself again!
Will keep everyone posted once I meet the doctor and ask him all the questions that I have. Wish me luck!! And good luck to all of you!

It went great. When we arrived we were taken in immediately and met with the doctor within only a few minutes of being there. They were polite took the time to listen to my concerns and explained everything in great detail to the point that they pretty much answers all of my questions before I had the time to ask. He said im a good candidate for the mommy make over which would include a full tummy tuck, with lipo of the flanks and upper abdomen and a bl with lollipop lift and silicon implants.

After, we met with the financial woman and she was incredibly nice and took the time to ask if we still had any questions, financial or otherwise.

When I got back and discussed with my husband. We went through our fanances and decided we'd go through with it. So we will be calling them back soon to schedule.

So excited and nervous all at once. Have lost about 5 pounds, so now at 130. Trying to get down to 125 before surgery. I've been working out at home every other day and eating lots of lean protein and fruit and veggies with 6 small meals a day.

So grateful to my amazing husband who has not pressured me and wants me to feel good about myself. And so grateful to my mom for coming with me and helping out with everything. I really hope this all goes good. And I really hope for any of you ladies out there going through the same thing get your wish too!!

Yaassss!! Can't believe his is finally happening but after the approval for the loan that I did not think we were going to get, I have scheduled my surgery date for July 11th!!!! Now just to start not only physically but mentally preparing myself for this. I've read so many of your stories and followed quite a few of you through your journey with Mommy makeover/tummy tuck/ bl with implants and I know that the healing process will be hard but in the end it'll be so so worth it. I'll try and keep everyone posted as much as possible and if anyone has any questions for me please don't hesitate to ask. And if anyone has any tips or tricks please let a girl know :-P So excited to feel good about myself again and be able to wear jeans and not have his huge flap of skin to tuck in. And so incredibly grateful for my husband and mom who have decided to split the payments of my surgery. I wouldn't have been able to do this without them! Literally!!! And the amazing support of my sister, who has always tried to make me feel amazing about myself and is just so supportive, I don't know where I'd be without her. Can't wait can't wait. Now time to really focus on getting fit and spending as much time cuddling with my littles seeing as come July I won't be able to pick them up for a little while. Good luck ladies!!! New me to come ????????????????
