I made it to the Flat Side 3/20/14!!

Hello all! I'm so excited to be here and read all of your reviews. I had my oldest son at the young age of 17, and my body has never been the same. Now that my husband and I have decided that we definitely don't want any more children, I've decided it's time to get my body back! I have my first consultation today and a 2nd one on Wednesday. I am going to have a mommy makeover (tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and medial knee liposuction.

I want to make sure I ask all the right questions. Is there anything that you wished you had asked during your consultation? Thanks!

I had my first consultation yesterday and it was definitely an eye opener. I came to the realization that I need a breast lift in addition to the augmentation. Luckily since I still have a lot of breast tissue, I only need a small implant. The doctor recommended 275 cc's as I want a natural look. I still think I will go with 300 cc's. The other shocker was that he recommended Saline implants for me. Since I have a lot of breast tissue and the implant will be placed behind my muscle, he said it wasn't necessary to spend the extra $1,000 on silicone. I appreciated the fact that he wasn't trying to upsell me on silicone. Any thoughts on this?

I have another consultation tomorrow, which will be my last. I really liked the first doctor and have heard rave reviews about the second one as well. At this point I know I will be having the surgery towards the end of March or early April. I will be making the appointment by the end of the week.

I'm really excited and nervous. I had a list of questions at the consultation but was so nervous I skimmed through the list and left lol. I don't know what came over me....perhaps the fact that 20 years worth of anticipation was starting me in the face :)

The doctor mentioned that I should be within 5-10 pounds of a weight I can MAINTAIN. Not 5-10 pounds of my GOAL weight. With that being said, I want to lose about 10 pounds before the surgery, which is doable in a healthy way in a month. Once I put that deposit down, I'm sure my focus and willpower will kick in lol.

Well, I had my 2nd consultation yesterday and it went well. Both doctors recommended the same things for me, and since both of their before and after pics were amazing I felt comfortable with both. The biggest difference was price...one was $18,000 and the other $16,000....guess who won? :)

So today I got the cashier's check for the deposit, and everything became very real. I am scheduled for my pre-op appointment on March 4th and surgery day is March 20th. I'm sure time is going to fly by!
