Mommy Makeover, 3 Kids 8 & Under, 5'3",122 Lbs. Crestview Hills, KY

After 3 c-sections and nursing my three children a little over a year each, my body is in need of some lifting and tightening ; ) I wish I could be one of those Moms who looks at their body after pregnancy and nursing and says "Wow, look what's my body did" and love the way I look afterwards.
I've worked hard at eating well 85-90% of the time and exercising 4-5 days a week doing cardio + strength training for about two years. I like the way I look in my workout clothes and one piece swimsuits, but when it's time to get in the shower, I don't like to look in the mirror. Sometimes I feel like I'm just pouring my loose breasts into my bras. I would love to wear a bikini and walk around naked with confidence!
My surgery is 9 days away! I'm having a full tummy tuck, breast lift, and silicone implants. The implants will be in the neighborhood of 350cc's. I've printed off some photos to show my surgeon my desired size. Before pregnancy and nursing I was a full c/small d. That is my goal again. I currently wear a 36 B. My surgeon said he will ultimately decide implant size in the OR based on my frame, I'm completely comfortable with that.
All last week I was so worried about something tragic happening to me during surgery. I think that's just the way of a Mom ; ) I'm a little less worried now, but it's still in the back of my mind. I'm so excited to have the opportunity to get this done! My husband is not worried at all, I'm just prone to being anxious I suppose.
Reading about all of your stories has been so helpful and inspiring. I'll be sure to post after photos next week!

My husband and I arrived at the hospital this morning at 7:30 for my 9:00 surgery. Every step of the way until the procedure was filled with amazing staff. I was so anxious and nervous that I cried after each of them left. When the anesthesiologist came in around 8:30, she put just a touch of the 'tear drying' medicine in my IV. I felt better within 5 minutes and still remember everything. Dr. Kuy came in shortly afterwards to ask if I had any questions and make his markings and measurements. To say that he is exact and particular is an understatement. He is so very polite. For example, when lifting my breasts to make a mark he said "excuse me".
From there I was wheeled down the halls to the OR. I asked my anesthesiologist if she had given me the rest of the calming medicine, she said she had and I didn't even notice! It's a good thing because if I had caught a glimpse of the OR I would of hopped up and ran.
I want to be very honest about how anxious have been about this surgery. I had irrational fears of dying on the operating table and leaving my family without a wife and mother. Everyone around me was reassuring, especially my husband. He listened and listened as I rambled on.
I had a full tummy tuck (no Lopo) breast lift, and silicone implants placed on top of the muscle. I'm not even sure what cc's were placed, I'll find out Thurs. I felt so confident with Dr. Kuy that I brought 'dream breast' photos and he handled the rest. He had already told me in our second consultation that he would be making the implant size decision in the OR based on my body size, measurements, etc. to achieve the most natural look. I couldn't be happier! It's only the first day and they look great! Dr. Kuy called this evening to check on me and gave us his cell phone number in case we need anything. What a doctor!
I'm in no pain right now, just a little uncomfortable. I'm sure tomorrow will be another story.
