Hi every one.
I am on the real road now had my second consultation now just got date through to day 24 th March hope all goes well.
I have been swimming like a fish this pasted few weeks.
This is a long story but will cut it short.
Since being younger I have always not liked what I see when I look in the mirror.
My mum had the same as me when she was my age and as she got older she had a hernia so big she used to have to push her bowels back in.
She was to old and Not fit enough to have the operation so she just lived with it.
Unfortunately without going into great deatail we didn't get on.
But because of what impact it had on her life when we found out that my stomach wall was very weak and I have the start of an umbilical hernia she said she would pay for my operation because she didn't want me to go though the same as her.
I did go and see someone on the Nhs but less said about that the better.
My husband and i first saw Mr A Marndo i in Dec 2013 the instance we meet him we both new he was the one for us.
He was honest straight talking which is what we like down to earth.

But unfortunately my mum passed away late 2013 so she is not here to see the results. So all can can say is thank you mum God bless.
So we are here today thanks to her.
Just over three weeks to go.
Will update later.

Yes you do it was £100 pounds but that was over 12 months ago. But I was never asked for it still haven't paid it, think is put on when you have op. Thank you for you kind comments about my mum I am sure both mum and dad are up there saying go on girl you deserve it. Martina Mr Marandos secretary is absolutely great very quick at getting info emailing back. Infact I just emailed her thinking she would answer tomorrow cause it's nearl 7 pm but she is still working and replyed within 5 minutes, can't ask for more than that. I am having a full tummy tuck with a little bit more i already have a umbilical hernia so not just as striaght falward,with all my muscled tightened up.cost is £6,500 which includes all consultation and after care. Hope this helps.

Hi Raymondo I was like that when I first went to see him I think it's natural. But I can tell you, you don't need tobe he is really down to earth pleasant and he will put you at ease I can't explain it but it just happens my husband and myself knew striaght away I needed to loose weight which I knew and we didn't beat about the bush about it. Mr Marando gave me more hope I nearly jumped across the desktop to give him a hug I found it really hard to contain myself. Best of luck ps I have nit heared one bad word about him or Martina. Martina is fantastic cut long story short mine is a bit complicated but Martina has sorted every thing out for me. Best wishers you will be ok Glynis

Hi guys just thought I would update you all.
Well it goes like this I am down another 2 pounds that's 34 pounds in all.
I don't know if I am having my bust reduction yet not heard how much extra it's going to cost finding this very disappointing hopefully will hear tomorrow I hope cause I am finding it hard to go to sleep and if I wake in the night it's the frist thing that's on my mind, I know it's stuppid but that's the way it is.
Secondly even if I can afford to have them done at the same time I am fully aware if there's any unforeseen problems there might not be enough time due to being under the anaesthetic to long.
The other night I was dreaming about my boobs and all I could see was two cocker spaniel ears ha well we do have a golden cocker and they were same colour.
When I first went for this is was all about not wanting to end up like my mum having to push bowels back in, in later life.
Now it's all about me and how I look, I have never been that sort of person but
since losing weight i now look in the mirror and think when all my apron of fat and skin has gone how nice I will look and how much I deseve it.
So there you have it not sleeping very well 16 days to go per opp next week.
No more photos they will be after now not much diffarance.

Hi every one.

Just heared I won't be having breast reduction at same time. But it was just the not knowing if I could or if i couldn't now I know can get my head roung it.
Disapointed about it but let's be seneabale. If the anaesthetists doesn't want me to be under to long,so that's fare enough by me after all that's what we want safety.
So it's a tummy tuck but keep look out cause I might be back.
It wasn't till I came on here that i relisted only 12 days to go till the night before.
Anyway there you have it but I am sure i will be more than happy.

Good luck with your tummy tuck. I know what it's like to worry about it beforehand and like you it was all I thought about from waking up till bed time but once it's done you will be so proud of yourself for going ahead with it and I'm sure the results will as amazing as mine. You are in the best hands having Mr Marando doing the procedure.

My doctor won't do breast lift either with my tummy tuck & lipo because I'd be out close to 4-5. My procedure is scheduled November 11. Getting a little nervous. It will take 2 1/2 hours.
