Hello ladies! I'm 5'8 and 147 lbs 24 years old with 2 beautiful children ages 4 and 2, both were delivered via c-section. My babies left me with some deep stretch marks, sagging skin, and of course deflated breasts. I'm extremely nervous and exited that I can finally get my body back and I still can't believe my mommy makeover will be next week Wednesday 07/17/13. I have always been really small my whole life and after having kids I'm back at my normal body weight but not so much with the sagging skin. I have worked so hard in the gym to get where I am now. My amazing husband was tired of hearing me complain about how disappointed I was with my body even with all the hard work I put in in the gym. So we both agreed that it is time for me to get this done :)

I can imagine in Hawaii, wearing swimsuits and smaller clothes all the time that the pressure to have a rockin' bod is more than it is here in cloudy, cool Seattle. :) I'm so glad you started your story on RealSelf and that you're getting this done for yourself. Please keep us posted!

Yes there's a little bit of pressure especially since everyone here is walking around in their bikinis lol. I can't wait to finally be one of those ladies rocking my bikini on the beach.

Hello ladies just an update so far... I was on the verge of canceling my mommy makeover because I couldn't come up with the anesthesia fee. We had to help some family members out as well as pay the bills and I couldn’t afford to do that and my surgery. I called my PS and told them my situation and was on the verge of a mental break down, I once again was helping and thinking of others before I thought of myself. Nothing wrong with that but this was something I wanted so badly and thought I deserved. To make a long story short my PS will be taking care of the anesthesia fee. WOW!!!!! I wasn’t expecting that I literally cried over the phone hearing the great news. They really felt I was a great candidate for this surgery and didn’t want to see me walk away especially since I’ve come so far. I am very thankful to Dr. Schlesinger and his staff for making my dream come true!!!



Also I don't know what happened to my other photos... I'll upload them again.

I got a call from Dr. Schlesinger's office that they want to do a videography of my mommy makeover experience… how exciting! I said yes of course because I’m confident he will do a phenomenal job. I’m a little nervous but as long as I’m helping someone out there I’m all in!
