I have been researching and wanting a mommy makeover for more years than I care to remember! I have been reading reviews on here for years and they have been helpful beyond words! I haven't seen many reviews of British patients or of those that have had their surgery in Turkey, so I thought I would post my journey incase it is helpful to anyone.
I am 31 years old, 5"5 and currently weight approximately 136 pounds.
My highest weight was 280 pounds. In October 2015, I had gastric sleeve surgery. My start weight was about 200 pounds. I have reached my goal weight but am now left with unsightly excess skin!
I am due to have a tummy tuck and a breast lift. I probably would need a full lower body lift and an arm and thigh lift, but I do not want to have too much surgery so am going to see how these surgeries go.
I had complications it's my sleeve and developed a leak and almost died, so I am understandably extremely nervous about developing complications with my tummy tuck and breast lift.
I have been doing lots of research though scouring through reviews on here for helpful hints and tips. I am both scared and excited to be completing my weight loss journey!

I'm scheduled April 10th. I'm getting excited and nervous at the same time.

I know exactly how you feel! It felt like ages away and then all of a sudden it's a matter of weeks away! How are you feeling about it? Do you feel prepared?
March 13, 2017
I don't feel prepared. I quit smoking to have it done and my weight has gone up a little. That stresses me out. I feel like there's so much to do before but I'm not sure what.
How about you? Do you feel ready?

I don't smoke so that's something at least. I've been trying to eat healthily and cut down on caffeine which hasn't been easy. My weight has gone up a bit too with trying to eat healthily as usually I'm always dieting.
I feel ready and not ready at the same time lol been trying to pack. Think that's pretty much done. Doesn't quite feel real yet I don't think

I'm always dieting too. Completely exhausting, even just typing the words. I'm gonna start another round of HCG to see if I can get the weight under control.
Packing...oh my! What in the world to take. I hadn't thought much about that. You give me more to ponder.

I'm having mine abroad. I'll be away for ten days so really have to think about what to pack to make sure I have everything I will need
March 14, 2017
Oh wow. I thought of doing that. How many times will you have to travel back to be re-checked?
March 15, 2017
I won't need to. I stay there for 10 days and return home. They are in England once every three months for consultations so once I'm home I will be able to have another post op check at about 9 weeks post op

That's good. Im having to travel 50 miles for the procedures. We chose to spend the night at the hospital because of the amount of surgery but he doctor has a satellite office 15 miles from my house and we're gonna do the follow ups there.

Two and a half weeks to go!

I cannot believe that my date has crept up all of a sudden. Feels like yesterday that it was months away and now it's only two and a half weeks away! Trying my best to eat as healthily as possible and trying to think of anything else that I may need to pack. Bought a bikini and took some extremely depressing before photos. I cannot wait until this excess skin is removed!

Wishing you the best ❤️
How much time are you taking off from work ?
March 20, 2017
Thank you. I am off for about 20 days. I hope that's enough. I am a bit worried as I work with young children. Because of bank holiday and a training day I will only have a two and a half day week in class though when I firsts return, so hopefully that will ease me in and I can rest and get ready for a full weeks work the following week.
