Hello, I'm 32, 5'7", 175 lbs (hope to be 160 by surgery) high weight 230. Pretty physically active. Run about 8-10 miles a week and yoga and gym time 3-4 times aweek. I have 5 kids. The first was when I was only 18 so I've been suffering with a tummy pooch and deflated breasts for a long time. I suck at keeping my weight gain in check during pregnancy and I breastfed so each kiddo has added their own toll on my body with further stretch marks and sag. The 3rd pregnancy being full term twins and the 4th being a 9lb9oz monster didn't help things either. I think all things considered my body looks pretty good. I've been researching doctors and procedures, and have gone on several consults here locally. My first choice quoted me 18600 for a TT, BL and BA. :-O I considered taking out a medical loan as I don't even have half of that amount set aside but that would have been hard to make work and the interest rates suck. Reading up on here led me to investigate going overseas for surgery. I've found a dr that I really like and am comfortable with. Got my quote today for 5900 for a lift, BA TT and lipo. Even with travel expenses I won't even pay half what I would here. So I'm ready to pull the trigger and start putting down deposits. So excited!

Congrats on your new adventure!! I am right along with you. Mom of 4 and pricing here is outside my range. I have decided to go to DR also however I have to wait for my babies to be out of school so I'm looking at June 2016. Continue to keep us updated!!!

We're very similar- 5 kids (a set of twins too!), lots of breastfeeding, not good at keeping wight in check with pregnancy...all sounds very familiar! Lol.

Hey, decided to share some before pics.
I talked to my mom last night and she is on board with coming to the DR with me. She is a RN with over 30 years experience in the OR so that means I will be in good hands and can save some money and be more comfortable besides renting an apartment off of airbnb.
I applied for my passport so that will give me just enough time to get it by the 6 week max timeline. One less thing to do. I'm going to wire my Dr the money for my deposit cost thing in the morning. Just waiting on my savings transfer to clear. I'm wanting the surgery date on March 4th. I plan on flying out on the 1st that way I will have one whole day to get settled in and enjoy the beach before I have to get my preoperative stuff done on the 3rd. I'm so incredibly thrilled that this is finally happening. Been planning this for 6-7 years. It's past time.

So after much scrambling to get dates approved and get my girlfreinds quote we now have our dates reserved! My big day is march 9th and my girlfriend has March 10th. It's so awesome she decided to travel and get a ba done at the same time. We booked our flights to get us out there the 3rd that way the flight was cheaper and we get to have a couple of days in the sun before surgery.

These pics are my wish pics. Hoping for a nice balanced hourglass figure. Kind of like kim kardashian BEFORE she had work done to enlarge her butt. Marilyn Monroe and Scarlet johansson are other good examples. I DON'T want a giant butt. The plan is to use a little lipo on the lower back and thighs to make the butt I have seem bigger.

That's neat. We will be in dr at the same time. My surgery is on 3-9 and my gf is 3-10. We should be there from 3-3 to 3-23.

As you should be excited. You have a very nice foundation to begin with so you have made his job pretty easy! Im excited too. Are you and mom staying at a recovery house though she is a seasoned RN?
