40 Yrs Old, Lost 65 Lbs had TT, BA and BL

First this RS site is SO great. I read all of your stories and it is so amazing to see all of the transformations. I have learned SO much from you all on how to prepare and what to expect after....so big thank you.

Now my turn to post.......

So I'm 40, and 5 years ago decided at 199 lbs I needed to get my health and body in check. Worked out with a trainer for 3 years, changed my lifestyle over a 4 year period...diet and exercise. Maintained 140 lbs for the past year. Also started a fitness company and became a group exercise instructor. After two kids though and the weightloss lots of extra skin, sagging etc. I always thought one day I would hopefully have the mommy makeover and so excited and can't believe that the time has come. Surgery is scheduled for 11/7 and it's starting to hit me that it's really happening. Really ever since my first daughter was born 10 years ago my tummy esp lower area just stretched out and never went back. I have hated it for 10 years. With the weightloss it is MUCH smaller and I can sort of hide it in clothes. With the boobs if I get the right push up bra it looks great. So many bathing suits and dresses I can't wear because of the bra situation. After 10 years I just can't even imagine myself any different. I am very pleased with my muscle tone and all that I have accomplished. Many think I'm crazy for doing this but this is in my mind the final step of my transformation. I am doing this for me and I am very proud of myself and super excited to see the final results. Getting a little nervous but mostly just excited at this point!! Will take some photos and post.

So far I have ordered a hospital bed and walker that I will rent for 2 wks. This will stay downstairs since all bedrooms are up. Also ordered the female urinal as many of you suggested.

Questions so far....
For the Faja did you get one and did you like it...and how do you know what size to get???
Or should I wait for my preop to ask what they suggest I get?

What I'm most nervous about so far...
- Gaining weight...I know this sounds stupid since the surgery is getting rid of lots of fat but I am SO active I teach at least 2 fitness classes a week, take another 3 to 4 cardio classes, yoga and lift 2x per week and I am scared that I am going to turn to mush during recovery time and gain since I am home and bored and I tend to eat.
- Depression....I can def get depressed at times and exercise really helps me to stay up and doing well and I know that with major surgery it is common to get the blues so the combo has me a little freaked.

My mom is coming for 10 days to help out and take me to surgery, take kids to school etc. I am taking off Nov and Dec from teaching any fitness classes.

That's about it for now I guess. :)))))

I have to girls 7 and 10 haven't told them yet what did u tell your kids? My oldest is so sensitive she cried recently when I told her I was going for acupuncture.

Here are some pics I took at my consultation a while back w/ sizers
