WORTH IT$10,800
I am a 5'8" - 133lb. 27 year old mother of 2 amazing children! A 4 year old daughter and a 3 year old son. I have a full time job working in an office setting. I also have a fun job on the side! I do personal training in the morning before I go to my office Job and after I get off in the afternoon! I love teaching people how to be healthy and aid in their path to a healthy lifestyle change. When I married my husband 6 years ago I was about 127 lbs. with a big C or little D cup. When pregnant with my kids I gained too much weight. Then I found my passion for health and nutrition and worked my butt off with eating clean and working out on a regular basis. (Pretty sure my wedding picture and wanting to teach my kiddos a healthy lifestyle had something to do with it!) With that- my love for exercise developed and I went back to college and became a personal trainer. Anywhoooo- now I have some nice extra skin and a stomach FULL of stretch marks to walk around with. Very frustrating being a trainer and no one knows what's really under these clothes. I feel like no matter how hard I worked or how clean I eat- I have nothing to show for it. I hate having to make sure my pants are pulled up soon far so I don't have the upper belly bulge. I am scheduled for a Full TT, breast lift (no implant), contouring lipo to flanks, abs. Lipo on saddlebags! I am SOOO nervous- I have never been "out" for this long of a surgery(5hrs) and I can't stop thinking about blood clots or the negative side affects (thinking this is because I worry about my kiddos and hubby). I have my pre-op appointment this coming Tuesday, August 6th. Shouldn't I be getting lab work done before the pre-op appointment? Anxious about spending this kind of money on myself! Any one know of or had any experience with Dr. Steven Schmidt from Dayton/Kettering, Ohio?!

Blood Work

FYI- I failed to mention previously- my babies were delivered via cesarean.
I called the Dr's office today to ask about blood work requirements. the nurse I spoke to told me that blood work is NOT required because of my healthy history and age. But I am asking for blood work orders any ways just to help me personally feel more at ease. :-)

Thanks for the comment - I really look forward to keeping this updated :-) Having my pre-op appointment yesterday 8/6 - it was hard to swallow spending this kind of money on myself - with having a family and little ones - But I keep telling myself - I deserve this, I deserve this... :-)

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! I'd want the blood work, too. I totally hear you on that.
I hope this is all smooth sailing for you! Keep us posted.

If it's not too late don't utilize Dr Schmidt! He thinks he's God however, the quality of his work if not top notch & he's overpriced. Also if you rate your experience with him on Google and it's not positive he has it removed the next day

Pre-Op Yesterday 8/6/13
OHTMomAugust 7, 2013
I had my pre-op appointment yesterday afternoon - The payment part was interesting to swallow - difficult spending this kind of money on myself. But as I commented below I just keep telling myself I deserve this! We had a bit of a 30 minute delay due to other patients not wanting to return for pre-op appointments. Once in the room - it was FANTASTIC - My nurse was SO down to earth and informative. I had a bunch of questions and she explained every thing so thoroughly. Made me feel a lot more comfortable with my procedure as a whole. I am going today 8/7 - for some basic blood work. Just to make myself feel better - not required by the doctor.
