I am 5'2 130lbs and an avid crossfitter. I have two kids under 4 years old (both were 8+ pound babies). I have stretch marks (which don't really bother me) and loose skin from pregnancy. I also have a slight umbilical hernia and abdominal separation and will need repair
I Scheduled my TT w/muscle and hernia repair and BA with 345, 365 or 400cc round, smooth implants - over the muscle - for Mid November.
My pre-op appointment is in three weeks and I will make the final decision on CC size.
Grandma will be watching the kiddos while my husband helps me recover from surgery.

6 days pre
Pre-op complete
Surgery is paid for, prescriptions are filled, childcare is arranged. The countdown begins.
There is so much anxiety and stress that goes along with this procedure. I've probably talked myself out of it 10 times in the last week.
My pre-op was great and I feel good about my decision most hours.
I've gone back and forth about posting my before photos, but I'm looking at this as therapy. So here they are...

Please keep us up to date. I too am an avid crossfitter and have scheduled my mommy makeover for December 8th! I think your body is in great shape and you're going to look absolutely gorgeous! I am going to create my profile and before pictures tonight. I think you're right about using this forum as therapy! BTW if you don't mind me asking....why over the muscle?

Thank you so much for your support! My PS recommended over the muscle for women who work out (I know other doctors say the opposite). It's also a faster recovery. There are other ladies at my gym who went over and all have positive feedback about it as well. I don't think there is a wrong or right way, I'm just going off what he suggested for me :)

Hi girls, same as you i am in good shape and love exercising. But doesn't matter how much i exercise i can't get rid of loose skin on my belly after two pregnancies. Tms349 - my surgery is scheduled for December 8th as well!! I'll have TT, hernia and muscle repair, plus BA. I am sure we'll look fabulous after the surgery ;) wishing you best results and speedy recovery. Keep us posted!!

Super frustrating to work out and eat right and still not get the results you'd like. We will look great post op and it will all be worth it.

I was in your exact situation about a week before my surgery. I had so much anxiety about whether or not this was the right choice for me and told my husband almost everyday up until surgery that I wanted to cancel. I found that keeping myself busy and distracting myself from the surgery thoughts helped. I volunteered in my kids' classrooms almost everyday the week before surgery, cleaned a lot, and gave myself a bunch of general to-do's.

Keeping myself busy has definitely helped! Agreed. I just want to be like 3 weeks post-op already. ahhhhhhh! Your results are looking amazing btw. Glad your recovery is going so well :)

I will be thinking about you on Wednesday!!! I am in the same mental state going into this :) You have a great figure and I am sure you will have amazing results! I agree posting on here is like therapy! I honestly think the support and getting to read so many journeys are what keep me strong in going through with this. It's crazy how I haven't met anyone on here in person but I feel so close to everyone and genuinely care about their surgeries and well-being. It is a family of sorts :) can't wait to see your results!!

Day of treatment
Made it!
Today was not nearly as bad as I had anticipated. The nurses were amazingly nice and helpful. And the whole anesthesia/ going to sleep process was so quick.
The nurse said I woke up talking about coffee and how unfair it was that My husband stopped for coffee this morning when I couldn't have any. Lol. So so funny.
I never had any nausea and when I got to the hotel, my husband fed me a hummus and pita plate. I've been trying to drink a lot of water and take my pain meds every 4 hours.
For you crossfit moms out there - it feels like I did "Annie" for 60 min (basically a lot of sit ups). I'm just super sore. But not in pain.
My post op is in the morning and I can't wait to see my stomach. Prettt happy with my boobs from what I can see. Yay!

Congratulations on your new body! Happy healing, and I can't wait to see your results!

I"m not a "crossfitter" but I do work out with a trainer 3 days a week and we do some cross fit type workouts. I'm going to follow your story since we are very similar. I have a BA and TT on 1/12. Thanks for sharing. Happy healing!

Being strong and fit before you go in for your procedure is definitely key to having an easy recovery (in my opinion). Keep working out until the last minute - you won't regret it :))
