PUMPED! OK... My story... I am 49 years old....

PUMPED! OK... My story... I am 49 years old. Married 31 years to the best man on the planet. I had the last of two very large children 25 years ago. (9.2 and 10.6) At that point, the damage was done... Through the years I have lost and gained 40 pounds or more about six times... Could never figure out how to keep it off. About four years ago I started on a quest. I wanted to be that healthy fit lady. Not skinny, and not jacked. Just healthy. I am happy to say I have finally figured it out! Clean eating, weight training and realizing that its a lifestyle.. Not something I can ever give up... and I don't want to! Anyway.... a tummy tuck was always joked about but was in my mind always a dream. Besides the fact I had to get over the guilt of using so much money for my own vanity and of course there's the issue of finding said moula. It just never felt right. UNTIL: NOW! I don't know what it was... the fact that I'll be 50 in January, or that I work SO hard... it just feels right...
Went to my doctor today and I LOVE him! Soooo comfortable. Checked out my muscle situation and I was beaming happy that he said they were strong... Only issue is I have a high belly button aka long torso... SO he recommended the mini. Which I am SO happy about. The recovery time was starting to scare me... especially being away from the gym for so long. I'm scheduled for exactly a month from today. I cant wait. To be able to wear jeans without looking like I have a sausage rolled up in there... Yes!!

The office called. post op on Monday. Makes it a bit more real... I couldn't sleep last night I was so excited. And its still three weeks away! Bought a matching set at Vickies Secret, even though it looks absolutely ridiculous. The bulge can't decide if it wants to go over or under the panties. Gave my hubby the news that we won't be sharing a bed for a while. He's 6'4 and I'm 5'9, in a full bed. So yeah..., that's not happening... He took it pretty well. Oh, and by the way. 5' 9" 160. Down from 210 four years ago. :)

I can't say enough good things here. Right from the get go he and his staff treated me with respect, listened to what I wanted and took time with me. He did not pressure me into more than what I asked for. The whole process of the actual surgery went smoothly. The surgery center was immaculate and professional. When returning for check ups at dr Lombardi s office I was taken in immediately as I was in obvious discomfort. His work is exactly what I was wanting, with a low and straight scar, removing what I didn't want and keeping what I did. His lipo left me without the love handles but also without lumps. The office provided me with everything I needed. I highly recommend them.
