I had my MM on Tuesday, December 4th 2012. My motivation was the fact that I had my two kids at age 17 & 19 and really don't remember what my actually body used to look like before having it ruined by having kids. In high school I was 145 lbs. Then I got pregnant and gained 50lbs with my son. After having my son at age 17, I got pregnant shortly after and had my daughter at 19. Didn't loose any weight between the pregnancies. I remember leaving the hospital after having my daughter and them telling me that I weighed 212lbs. That was my highest weight (with no baby). I started working out as soon as I could and lost 60lbs right away. Then slowly lost 42 more lbs ending at 110. Which being 5'6" at 110lbs it was NOT a good look for me!! I was scary thin. I ended up slowly gaining and settling right where I am supposed to be at 130lbs and have been that weight for the past 8 years. I liked the way my body looked after loosing all the weight, but I HATED all the extra skin that went along with it!! I wanted for so long to get a MM and just made the final decision to go through with it this year. I put down my money in July 2012 and planned my surgery for December 4, 2012. I waited and counted down the days until it finally arrived!! I am done and loving my results!!

I just had my surgery on Dec 4th. I was terrified of the after pain after reading some of the horror stories on this site. This has NOT been my experience at all. I'm only 2 days PO but I have only had 1 extremely painful incident. While my husband was trying to help me get situated in bed, my stomach had a muscle spasm!!!!! Let me tell you it was like having a cramp (charlie horse) in your stomach. I cried and cried and I couldn't even speak. He slowly lowered me back down, then brought me my Valium which is for the muscle spasms. Now I don't dare go over the time of when I am supposed to take them! Other than that one time, it hasn't been too bad. Most of the time, If I get into a comfortable position- as long as I am not moving- I don't feel a thing! NO pain at all! Make sure you have someone help you up!! Don't try and use your stomach muscles! My husband completely lifts my back up every time I have to get out of bed. This makes it not hurt that much, plus no spasms! Good luck, and don't worry too much! It isn't nearly as bad as I had read about!!

Oh, and one more thing, lol. I was a small B after deflating after my second child and all the weight that I lost. I chose to go with a FULL D. I made that very clear to him. I figured with a C I would feel like, "what was the point?" I went the absolute biggest size that I could, without looking fake - my PS words exactly. Which ended up being 450cc Memory gel silicone implants. So far- even though they are still swollen and haven't "settled" in yet, I am IN LOVE with how they look! So is my husband! Lol.

You look great!! Glad to hear that you're not having horrible pain with recovery. Keep on healing! I'll look for your updates. Your incision is really low.

Thank you. I guess I can't really tell yet, since I can't put on my real underwear or my jeans to see where it will finally sit yet.
