I've wanted this for yrs. Now at Age 40 & the kids are all grown, I think I'm Ready!!

Hi everyone. Well, I think my time is finally here. For years I debated on when I would have this surgery, and now with accepting that I would not be having any more children, I've set my date and paid my deposit. Going to take lots of hustle and hard work to pay it off but it will be well worth it. My SO always says that there's nothing wrong with how I am but I know this is not true. He met me how I look now and so that's what he's used to seeing. I know how I looked before my second baby (requiring a c-section, creating an ugly pouch at bottom of my tummy). I have 2 beautiful children - one is an adult and the other is pre-teen. Still can't believe I'm having it done but in excited and looking forward to it.

I wanted to back track a lil to talk about my ps. He was very hands in and friendly from the very beginning. When he first walked in the room, my initial thought was that he was one of those Beverly Hills Md. This was because of his good looks and the way he dressed. The office appeared luxurious in comparison to the doc I'd consulted with a few weeks prior which made me think it was gonna be too expensive. He was cheaper!!! After introducing himself, he immediately made me feel that I really looked okay how I was but that he could see where my areas of concern were. He talked about his wife who he says he did a tt on her and the results were great. He was very hands on. He talked to me and my 'hubby' at length answering any questions and concerns we had thoroughly. I'm looking forward to his work! Anyways, I'm posting pics of me before surgery. More to come and apologies for upside down ones. Not sure why that happened.

Me in blue jeans. These are 'hip huggers' which I shouldn't be in obviously. They do manage to hide my pouch very well, but the muffin too is obvious!
