38 Yrs Old. Mommy Make over - Halifax, NS

It's hard to believe how fast time flies. It's been a year and a half since surgery. I am still very happy with my results. Although I do look better I realized that I had to also heal emotionally. I can still pick myself a apart and that's not a healthy way to live. I have made progress and continue to grow each day. I hope that when you consider surgery that you are aware that it can only change physical issues and the rest is emotional healing that takes effort. I was thinking that surgery alone would solve my self image issues. I was rudely awaken to the fact that I had more internal than external problems that needed to be addressed. All the best to you in your journey :)

It's been awhile but things are going well! I hit a snag at 2 weeks with my belly button that lasted until about week 7. Never got infected but constantly drained fluid until a stitch worked it's way out. The deep hole inside finally closed and healed.
My belly still puffs up pretty good. People don't see it but man I can feel it without looking... It gets like a pins and needles kind of feeling. I'm still really numb down the middle. Dr said my lipo results are good but won't be final results until around 6 months. I'm happy with how it all looks.
My boobies are nice and natural looking. Soft and settled. They were actually the least important to me out of the three procedures but ended up making the most difference in how I look and feel. Clothes look way better with boobs. I literally was flat. They balance out my body. Love having them :) although it truly took me a couple months to "bond" with them. I felt uncomfortable with them at first. Sounds silly but I felt like they made me look trashy out in public. I wasn't expecting to have emotional issues with them but I've gotten past it and we're all good!
My tummy tuck was worth it...I also went thru some mixed emotions with it. I look waaaay better but I think I was disappointed for a bit. Not sure what I was expecting. Results still aren't final but I can say that my loose roll is gone and I do not miss it!
Honestly, this has been life changing. An unexpected emotional rollercoaster. It made me realize that all of these years I thought changing these few things would make me happy with my body and the obsession would go away. Changing these things made it clear that I wasted a lot of years thinking way to much about how I looked. Yes I look better. Yes I am happy. But I was not worth less before and I was the only one who made me feel bad about it. I truly wish that others could get what I feel right now. Save them years of self abuse.
I will post some pics shortly.
Hope everyone is healing physically and emotionally :)

Here's just a few more pictures that show a bit more honestly how I look. Yup, still got stretch marks. I would need a whole new outfit of skin to be rid of them..
My incision shows on the hips when I have a bikini or undies on.. I could manage to cover them but I don't like to hike the sides up. In all honesty, Im not too worried about the scar. When the swelling is gone it will be quite discreet. When I'm puffed up it seems to jump out at you but this is just temporary.
