WORTH IT$18,000
My journey started in December 2001, my then 4 year old son looked at me before a shower and said, "Mommy, you're fat." I knew I was heavy, but never wanted to really see it. I looked in the mirror and it hit me. OMG, I really am FAT! I am 5'3" and at that point I weighed 199 lbs.
I tried almost every diet and nothing worked in the past. But that moment, I knew I didn't want my son to have the "fat mom" at school. For some reason I couldn't motivate weight loss for myself, but doing it for my son seemed to give me the motivation I needed.
In January of 2012, I joined a program in the Bay Area called JumpStart MD. It's a doctor's office that specializes in weight loss. They didn't just tell me diet and exercise. They gave me real tips and tools to support healthy weight loss and lifestyle change. I've posted pics of me in Jan 2012. The next post will provide details just prior to my surgery. A special thanks to all of you brave women on RS, you gave me the confidence to do the surgery and finish my journey!

BubblyBubblyNovember 23, 2014
Fast forward a couple of years, I lost over 60lbs. Here are my just before surgery pics. As a reminder, I have one son who is 7 years old, so I have a baby belly, as well as lots of skin from weight loss. Here are my details on 11/16 one night pre-op. 5'3", 135 lbs, 34DD.
I can't figure our hownto turn the pics. Will work on that later.

What a positive transformation! Did you lose weight (outside fat and skin removal) or re your results just that good?

Today is the big day 11/17/2014

I'm so excited for today! It took me a while to lose the weight and today I will complete the transformation. It's weird that I started the journey for my son, but this step is all for me! It's funny, I can't remember the last time I did something for myself!!!
I have 1 son who is 7 years old and I breast fed for 11 months. Between that, weight loss and gravity, it had done a number on my girls. Here are my numbers as of today: 5'3", 135lbs, 34DD.
I arrived at Dr. Mariotti's surgery center in the morning. Below are the procedures I had scheduled:
- lower body lift (tummy tuck, butt lift, lateral thigh lift)
- breast reduction with lift (no augmentation/implants)
- liposuction of lower buttocks and back of the thighs
I will stay overnight at the center and then go home the following day. I'm prepared to go home. My Mom is staying with me for 3 weeks, since my hubby works out of town a lot.
Today are pics of me in a cute bathing suit. I'm am not cute in it, but I hope to look a lot better soon!!! Wish me luck!
