I have been thinking about a tummy tuck for over a year. I am 37 years old and after two kids (11, 4) I looked up one day and I wasn't sexy anymore. At 5'5, 175 lbs...no sexiness was there! I want to get my sexy back and not have my belly button talk to me every time I sit down and stand up.
So, I started by visiting two different PS for consultations: one felt like a sheep herding farm - no real bedside manner - and the other consultation was where the PS answered all of my questions, smiled and had a personality. I bet you can guess which one I chose!
But I wasn't ready to commit so I decided to see what I could do on my own. I worked out, became an avid runner, went biking, took spin classes, jammed to Rihanna and Two Chains on the step machine and cooled down to Gospel. Eight months later I was over 20 lbs. lighter, my feet were smaller, my calf's were banging and my underarms weren't swinging when the wind blew...but my belly button was STILL WINKING AT ME! Ugh!
I never forgot the nice, kind PS consultation so I decided to go back for another consultation. This time I took ammunition: My Mom! She didn't want me to do it but she is going to be my 'nurse' so I felt she had to be there to hear what was going to be happening first-hand.
Well, today was the 2nd consultation. While in the waiting room, my mom is telling me I don't need it while she is steady flipping through before and after pictures. When the PS came in and told me to let him see my stomach again, she finally saw what I saw and quickly vouched for the tummy tuck.
Before walking out the door I paid my deposit and scheduled the appointment. I'm looking forward to Monday, March 3! I'll post before pictures soon :)

I have spent waaaaay too much time trying to get a perfect body selfie. When I am going through photos on the site I try to find one with a similar body type as mine so I can see the end result so I hope this conveys my pre surgery nody type.. I have my pre-op in 2 weeks and I can't wait!
