I've had 3 kids, breastfed 2 and it has really taken its toll on my body! My breasts sag and are quite empty, hoping for a lift w/ implants. My tummy is also quite loose and would like a tummy tuck. I've been contemplating these surgeries since my first son and finally decided that it's time to just do it. I've booked my appointment for consult with Dr Toy and I can't wait!

I just saw him. I had a good consult and would feel comfortable with him. That is not stopping me from seeing at least two more doctors that I've researched to also be very good in their field. Good luck, think I'm going to take the leap in November/December. It's kinda scary but exciting at the same time.

How long was the wait list time to get in to see him
December 12, 2016
The wait for the consult was 7 months but after you get your quote the wait for surgery is much shorter! Like 2 months... I opted for an appointment in September though lol
December 12, 2016
Ok they told me the wait list is two years and I was wondering if it would really take that long to see him

I got told the same thing so I booked a consult with a different doctor

Wow that's crazy! I must've booked at a good time. He's a phenomenal surgeon so it's worth the wait IMO but it's always good to get multiple consults and do lots of research! Best of luck!

Some things
Now that this dream is finally coming to fruition, it's all I can think about! It's something that's been on my mind for nearly 10 years... I had my first baby when I was 16 and gave him up for adoption... and that's the pregnancy that killed my body and my mind. There are so many emotional scars attached to the physical ones left by my first pregnancy... It's all I can see when I look at my body. I never got to enjoy my pre pregnancy body... I was like every other teen that obsessed over every flaw that wasn't even there. I was also in a very emotionally abusive relationship (which is partially why I chose adoption), after I delivered my first son, he repeated told me how saggy I looked and that I should wear a bra to sleep, or that he wouldn't have sex with me anymore because he saw a baby come out of my vagina. Devastating words to hear at any age... Much less to hear as a teen. I had the body of a mom... Without being a mom. Those scars haunted me for years. It made it impossible to date... How do you even bring that up? "Oh hey, nice to meet you, by the way, if you ever want to have a physical relationship with me, you should know that even though I'm not a mom, I've got the body of one"
Fortunately I met my husband, who loves my body, but also understands that I need this and why. So after having 2 beautiful babies with him, it's finally happening! I have my consultation and it's ALL I can think about. I've waited so long for this. But I'm also so scared. This journey is the end of a 10 battle with lost confidence and excruciating memories, and the beginning of a new me that can finally leave that time in my life behind me.
So...
Step1. Book consult (check!!!)
Step 2. Quit smoking!!!!
So now, that's my goal, complete step 2 in preparation for my consult! So excited!
Being that this is going to be an emotional journey for me and has been for many year, I'm expecting that recovery is going to be an emotional roller coaster for me. Or maybe it won't? I don't know... But I'm ready! I am SO ready!

Misssymay 26!!
Your story has really been a true pleasure for me to read. I too was a teenage mother at the age of 16 and I had to give my 1st son up for adoption, so I can truly relate to your story. You deserve this so much!! I am enjoying following your journey!!
