Hello RS. I am longing for a mommy makeover. I have been for years now. I was blessed with two beautiful children. That came with some serious weigh gain and stretch marks galore. Pregnancy was not kind to me..gaining 65 lbs with my first and 85 lbs with my second. I have lost my baby weight twice. But...In the past few years, I let it all go!! I guess a bout of depression took over.. since the beginning of the year I took control of myself and started making time for me again. I've lost a lot of my depression weight and I still have a bit to go. I keep working towards my goal. It feels good to be me again! My husband has been so supportive of my mission. Recently, I turned the big 40!! Yikes!! As a gift, my husband told me it's time for my dream of getting a mommy makeover!! He made two consultation appointments with surgeons in the area. I am so excited!! Yet, I'm so scared!! I have been stalking all your stories on here for a little bit now. You have all helped me learn a lot about the process!! I will be keeping you posted on my journey and ask you all tons of questions along the way. I hope to inspire someone just as you all insiped me!!

It's a few days away from my consultation!

So, I have a few more days to go then it's consultation time! I am getting super excited to hear what the surgeons have to say. I will be seeing two surgeons that aren't affiliated with each other at all. I figured it would be good to get the advise from a couple of professionals. I have a long list of questions to ask. Your advice here has helped with that list. Is there anything you wished you had asked while in a consult other than the basics questions? Your help would be appreciated greatly. I thank you in advance!
