Body Lift - Corpus Christi, TX

Today I went into the Dr's office to inquire about a full tummy tuck and came out with a brochure on a body lift!! My journey began after my first born 21 yrs ago I was young and was able to snap back in shape.aw well with my second child.Its not till I got married with my 3rd childs father and ballooned up to 240lbs,Now being 5'3 240lbs things streched beyond belief! I really hit a breaking point and knew I had to find my self again! I did things the old school way (diet & excierces) and lost 100-lbs.Yessssss!!! I finally broke through the odds and have mantained the weight off for 7 yrs now!!!! But as you can Clearly see through the pics I have some loose skin and Id done hidding it ,tucking it ,Keeping the lights dim,ect.Im ready to begin my new chapter in life,Im ready to LIVE!!! Now dont get me wrong I am SCARED to my witts!!! For being put to sleep is never any fun..I knw I will have alot of family and friends to help with my recovery and I know through prayer things will go right!! I AM SO HAPPY I HAVE FOUND THIS SITE...I cant wait to share my stories with you all & help others!!

Feb 23,Its been 23 days since Ive last smoked all in the name of a good recovery.I was not a pack smoker just a night times let the stress of the day go with each passing puff smoker..Its been a little rough as this monkey on my back turned to be a full grown GORILLA!!! But I keep telling my self My healing well is worth everything..I go for my labs,last final to speak with the Dr, Feb 29 then March 13 9:30 am is the day...I'm really questioning if a lower body lift is going extreme !!?? was i really that bad off as having to go beyond the tummy tuck i was first going in there for??? Well 11k later Im going with it...Im really excited to see me with out all this holding me back.My guilt kicks in high gear from time to time..But im covered with good friends and faith..I keep reading post,view pics and keeping my fingers cross i do well..

I give my mother a nice Sunday ph.call to see how her evening is going and to confirm with her about about the Dr.app.this wed 2/29. For if she has any questions or to rest her mind with any concerns.Well,it saddens me that she will NOT be going to the Dr. appt with me NOR does she want to know anything of the sort

You know her support is NOTHING new!! But you would think (she) would put HER SELF A SIDE!!!! &how I'm needing more support more than ever!! I asked her to be positive for me and to understand..But....See I come from a family that is poor in health,weight,ambition,dreams,and everything that comes with the Typical Hispanic Family(High-blood pressure,diabetes..Besides a few good Hens (my aunt tina,my sister,and yes my self).& No I may not expect them to all understand...BUT No one knws what I have endured to get here!!! How I weighted 240 lost over 110lbs and have lost this all on my own..NOW with having a small umbilical hernia due to carrying this skin around I feel its in my best int so i may move on with the rest of my life.exercise with ease,and yes maybe float dwn the Frio River this summer in a 2 piece if i wish too!..This is a little hard as I write this in Tears!!! But I knw I will be ok..and I have my FAITH to guide me through!!!.Sry friends that I turn to this site to vent lol..But surgery effects everyone we love..Its a BIG DEAL.& I hope that everyone has the support they need..
