For years I've talked about getting a mommy makeover when I was done having kids & once I finally lost the weight. My youngest is 2.5 and when he was about 1.5 I was sure I didn't want anymore kids. I've tried dieting & working out and have failed time and time again. I found a boot camp 8 months ago and it's been the best experience of my life! I've lost 30 lbs & I feel the best I've ever felt about myself (still having about 12 more to go and 12 weeks until surgery!). Unfortunately with the weight loss my boobs went with it lol so I want my flat tummy to show & nice boobies! I've met with 4 different plastic surgeons and decided on the doctor that wanted to do a little more surgery, but I felt like understood what I wanted in the end. I am SO excited but so very, very terrified. I've never been under before, so I think that's what gives me the most anxiety. I know the pain is going to suck, but I know the results will be worth it!

We have the same surgeon!!! My MM is scheduled for 5/2, so I'll be going before you. My hubby's cousin had a MM by Dr. Doolabh, and she looked fantastic, and said that her experience was awesome. Like you, I'm a nervous wreck…I've only been under once (24 years ago for gallbladder removal). I'm just trying to keep my eyes on the prize (looking great in my bikini again, and feeling confident in my own body), and prepare by researching what to expect as much as possible. We're in good hands with Dr. Doolabh. : )

that's so exciting!!! I hope everything goes well for you! Please keep me posted on your recovery! Every couple of days I have a nervous breakdown about going under and being scared to death, but I just keep trying to think about the end result! I think we're in excellent hands! :)

GIRL! Me too!!!!! I had a complete meltdown last week and called Brenda at Dr. Doolabh's office. She "talked me down off the ledge". Like you, I'm just really trying to focus on the end results. I go for my blood work and EKG this week, pre-op and mammogram next week...it's getting close!!!!

so exciting!! Brenda has been so awesome, I requested some additional pictures and she always goes above & beyond what she has to do! I'm sure she's going to have to talk me off the ledge several times between now & the surgery! So excited for you, though! :)

So, I swear you are me talking...only different is I'm 33 and my oldest is 8 and younges is 3.5. I have worked my rear off (literally...lol) working on this body and I am lean in my back, arms are defined and my upper abs (sides) are starting to show BUT just above my scar is that little bit of overhang. I have told my husband that if I can't get rid of it on my own (like by Christmas) a TT is in my future. After all that hard work, I want to be 100% happy with my body. I will be following you closely bc even the part about never being under before matches me!! Good luck and I am excited for you!

Weird dreams

So I'm 73 days away from my mommy makeover and twice since I've booked my surgery I've had really strange dreams about it. The first one was that my husband left me right after I had the surgery so I had to take care of myself & then my boobs weren't even - it freaked me out lol then last night I had another one! I had a dream that I went in for surgery and realized they never gave me my prescriptions for painkillers for after surgery and everyone was so mean at the office about it lol I know that's the complete opposite of everything I've experienced with Dr. Doolabh's staff so far, but again - it freaked me out. Is this my subconscious telling me maybe I'm not ready for the surgery? I have a nervous breakdown once a week about the surgery, I'm absolutely terrified about going under & then the recovery. I'm not crazy am I? I can't be the only one going through this? lol

No...I've had a crazy dream or two as well. I remember the first one was that my boobs were WAY TOO BIG!!! Since we have the same Dr, and live in the same town, if you ever want to get together for coffee & a chat, let me know.

that would be awesome! I was just telling my husband the other day that I was so excited that I found someone having the same procedure with the same doctor! So cool! :)

No you are not crazy. I was having worries as well. Dr Doolahb did my mommy makeover April 13th so I'm just under 2 weeks post op. I'm so glad I did it and rest assured you are in wonderful hands. When I would panic I reminded myself that the nurse would be with me that first night and if needed longer I could have that extra support. Good luck! Things will be great, and your hubby will love the results as well
