Celebrating 15 Years of motherhood

Quinceañera in Spanish is a 15 yrs old girl. It is a tradition in Mexico that parents throw a big party to celebrate her daughter's 15th birthday. Well... even when my profile name is Quinceañera, I am not a 15 yrs old girl but a 39 yrs old women who is celebrating 15 years of motherhood. My oldest son just turned 15 and on his birthday I scheduled my surgery date for November 28th; I will fix those damages that two pregnancies, breast feeding and weight gain/lose made on my body. I am having a tummy tuck and breast lift with implants.

I had been thinking about it since about 14 yrs ago, but due to the cost it was impossible to me. Then, when our economical situation improved I started to feel afraid of the risks and the recovery process; but now I am ready. Healthy eating habits and workout made me go from 198 to 132 lbs in the last 4 yrs and have taken me from size 18 to 4 which I had never ever wore before. You can imagine how great I feel except for that loose skin all over my body. I have made some improvements with constant workout but I know that my breast and belly will not go any better.

I have found a surgeon that made me feel very comfortable and I totally trust on him; I have scheduled 18 days off at work, arranged care for my kids and have read as many tips and stories as I could in the last month at realself.com.

My lovely husband will take care of me during recovery; he also arranged time off at work. He is not very happy with this procedure but I know he will love the results.

I will post some pictures later.

OMG, my surgery date is in less than a week and I have little concern... my period is two days late :(... it just can't happen to me, I can't get pregnant a few days before my tubal ligation and the surgeries that I have been dreaming about since more than a decade ago.
