Today marks 3yrs! Mommy Makeover 1/31/13,1st revision 12/12/13,2nd revision 1/5/15....pics...Houston, TX

I have been wanting this for years...after a natural birth,a c-section & a laparscopic assisted hysterectomy I'd like to get rid of the pooch,fat & scars as well as have my tummy flat,my breast back close to where they should be & feel comfortable in my skin again. I thought I had a Dr picked but after several talks,emails & an online consult I dont know....the price went from $12,000-14,000 then to $14,000-16,000 then once I sent pics for consult it went to $16,000-19,000. Thats for lipo of the chin,abs,flanks,lower back,full tummy tuck & breast lift or lift w/reduction...never addressed the thighs & hasnt seen me in person (suppose to go in Nov) & didnt answer any questions I sent w/the pics...totally discouraged & confused! Does anyone have an opinion on the price or a great Dr in the Houston or San Antonio area? Do any of you Drs have an opinion on what I should have done?....Thanks!!

ok,apparently my photos did not upload with my 1st post,idk what happened so I will try again! I was really hoping for some drs input on what they would think I need done since I was quoted prices for different things w/o even being asked what I wanted. I have done more "research" after all the issues I've had w/the last Dr's staff & think/hope that I have found another Dr! I am debating on rather to go ahead & go to both consults as well as a 3rd Dr just to be 100% sure of my decision. Im sort of upset that I went from being so sure to being so disappointed & confused. I've waited so long to be able to have this done & this is such a big thing to do....to trust someone to alter your body & pray for it to be better,not worse...I dont want to feel like Frankensteins wife :/

Im 34,married for 16yrs w/2 kids,a 15 yr old daughter & 13 yr old son. I have had natural child birth,a c-section,a hysterectomy all to have a family,get my children here safely,to keep myself healthy enough to be here to take care of them. I always put them & my hubby 1st & have left myself behind. I was never over weight,always between 110-120 until I started having health issues. The dr put me on meds & hormones & I blew up to 162 in 4 months time along w/alot of other side effects arising! Since having my hysterectomy I have winged myself off everything,have started working out again & even while it's so much harder now I am down to 142....still wanting to lose 12-17 more,Im only 5'2....My husband & children know how long & how bad I've wanted this....this one thing for me & they support it. They love me & accept me,they have said Im beautiful to them but they understand I dont feel that way & they want me happy,healthy & comfortable in my own skin so we can enjoy our time together even more.....YET gggrrrr yet I was told by someone close to me that I am being vain,selfish,stupid,wasteful,careless.....Im stupid to have such a vain surgery,waste the money & something could happen....all because I am shallow! REALLY??!! NEVER,NEVER have I put myself 1st,I wait & wait because it's not a priority or medically necessary & because I dont want us in a bind,make them have to do w/o me,them to have to take up my slack. My kids are beautiful & I dont want them thinking something is wrong w/them because I feel something needs fixing w/me. I have explained I dont mind the stretchmarks or the c-section,hell not even the hysterectomy scars because they all mean I carried life,delivered life & fought for life so how does that make me all those negative things? I just want the fat,rolls,extra skin gone & my body back to as close as normal as it use to be. I have asked my children their opinion because I dont want them to view me in those ways which they dont. They have said they understand & dont see the problem,to go for it,to do something for myself for once...my husband said I think you are sexy,beautiful but if this will make you feel better about yourself then I want to help do this for you,for everything you have & still do for us. He is willing to take care of the kids & responsibilities around here as well as take care of me for the 2weeks he will be home....so thank GOD I have my children & husband & their support even if I have no one elses! Ok Im done venting now
