WORTH IT$14,000
I am a 37 year old mom of three boys and wife to the best guy ever! My husband and I have happily married for almost 14 years! I have been diligently working out and eating right for 2 1/2 years ( I have struggled with my weight my entire adult life) and have lost about 50 lbs. I have about 10 more to go before the surgery...Like so many moms after nursing 3 babies in 3 years (all my boys were born in 2 1/2 years) my breasts are like something out of a national geographic magazine and my tummy is a saggy mess...I am so excited to be entering the homestretch to my surgery to finally realize the efforts of all of this hard work! I am scheduled for a mommy makeover (tummy tuck, lipo of flanks and breast lift) on October 31...I would covet any advice from those of you who have gone before me...I am 5 ft 4 in tall and 170 lbs...I exercise hard 5-6 days a week...Im hoping to be 162 by the time of surgery.

Welcome!! I am 9 days post-op from my Mommy Makeover, and an RN, and would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have!! When I first came on here, it seemed like the other people were all skinny Minnie's, and I couldn't find anyone who was a little bigger, like me. But we are on here, and getting good results! You are doing great! Just keep working out, but don't stress too much about the weight loss thing. I am enjoying my new body even though I wasn't able to reach my ideal weight. If you want, you can read my review if you click on my name and look for it. I hope you are getting excited already, and I look forward to sharing any advice you might like. :-)

I will be spending 2 nights in the surgery center before coming home, our bedroom is on the first floor and we have an old comfy recliner I will move to our room or the family room...other than that I haven't thought about the after details too much...

Well with summer sports taking hold of my family I have had been a little off track these last few weeks, but I am feeling better now as baseball has FINALLY ended!! I am really focused on losing my last 10 lbs or so by my next appointment with my surgeon which is on Sept 16. Hope everyone is healing well and all of those prepping for their big day are making good progress! I will post some pictures soon I just have to work up the courage to take them. ahhhh!
