Mommy Makeover after kids and 100+lbs weight lost...- Columbus, GA

Figured this is as a good a place as any to keep details of my experience. I've lost 140lbs, and kept it off for a year. After two kids, and all that weight loss my body is a train wreck. I knew that at some point I would need to have my excess skin removed. I found Dr Cochran to be the most experienced surgeon in my area, and he does both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. I went to him and asked what he could do fix my body rather than tell him what I wanted. He addressed everything that I saw as a problem, and made the suggestion that I would have better results with an Anchor or Fleur De Lis tummy tuck, along with lipo of the flanks, waist and outer thigh.

I am also having my breast fixed, seems crazy to have a nice, flat tummy and then leave my breasts in the sorry state they are in...so they will be lifted with implants. I will also be having liposuction on my neck.

I was sitting yesterday at about 4pm and realized that six weeks from now I will hopefully be passed out in my recliner strung out on pain medication (if all goes according to plan).

I plan to add photos of my before as soon as I can...

I know what you want me to tell you...that I took a pill or that I sprinkled some magic dust on my food, also, no...I did it the old fashioned way with an entire lifestyle change. At 315lbs I was told by my doctor that I was pre-diabetic...what a huge wake up call that was. The very next day I made the decision to join a gym and make better choices when it came to what I ate. Small changes that I made have added up to what is a now a healthy, active lifestyle...for me and my two daughters.
