Where to begin? I suppose I can start at the beginning. Always been a healthy woman, 5'4 120. When I went into labor with my monster baby (who weighed almost 11lbs) I tipped the scale at 200lbs. You can imagine how much stretching went on. Deflated breasts, Stretched tummy, and left over skin. So ... four and a half years later ready to finally do what I have wanted to do for years! My "Mommy Makeover", a tummy tuck with muscle repair and without lipo, and 350CC silacone breast under the muscle.
Breast feeding/pumpin for a year was one of the hardest things I ever did. Funny, when you decide to make the choice no one says "wow that's great your C breasts are going to look like tube socks when your done" ... I know, I know, the benefits are amazing but come on!
Why did I wait so long to do this? Like most women on this site that I have saw, they struggled with the fact that the "need this" and that's exactly how I have felt. I would think "why am I so insecure about how I look that I need to have plastic surgery. Throughout my life what has happen to make me feel this way about myself?" But the truth? I've comes to turn that I'm not insecure, there are things that I'm just not comfortable with about my body. My husband says it doesn't matter to him, it's whatever makes me feel better and he loves me the way I am.
I live in New York for work and I'm originally from Michigan. So when I moved here in July, I talked to my mother and asked when she could come out and help and then, started searching for surgeons. I started interviewing Drs in November. After seein 5, I still couldn't commit. I never felt comfortable with them. Then last week, I went to Dr Greenwald. Instantly I loved him. He was honest, and straight forward. Not super chatty and I'm ok with that. He answered my questions and I knew, THIS WAS MY SURGON!!! Finally, I found the one. We tried on breasts (even tho I was pretty certain of the size I wanted) and talked about the tummy tuck. I will say, it's nice to know it's just all skin and not fat. So all my hard work did pay off?
So here I go starting my journey and I couldn't be more excited! I'll keep posting as I get closer to the surgery!

Oh this hurts .... I don't even like to change at the gym!
Dr said I'll still have stretch marks, pretty much the ones above my belly button. But I'm ok with that. Pretty much everything below will be gone. The "love handles" are extra skin. Sounds gross but I'm just glad it's not all fat.

Vacation Days APPROVED
So it's already May! I think my surgery is going to sneak up on me, which I'm good with.
My vacation days got approved today! One more step forward and less to worry about. I took 12 days. I'm not sure that it's going to be enough but I'll play it by how I'm feeling and drag out my leave if nessassary.
IM SO EXCITED!

Look no further! I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Greenwald! I look and feel amazing thanks to him. He is truly an amazing plastic surgeon and a kind person. From the moment I met him I felt comfortable and knew "this was MY Dr". I saw three Drs prior to Dr Greenwald and none were quite what I was looking for. I booked as soon as my consultation was over. I knew then and still know now that I made the right decision.
