I'm a 36-year-old mom of 3 boys. I am 5'...

WORTH IT$8,475

I'm a 36-year-old mom of 3 boys. I am 5' 9" tall and am back to my 150 lbs pre-babies weight. I started thinking about a mommy makeover 7 years after my first son was born. I gained at least 50 lbs with each baby. Now after my third and final son, I knew it was time. I spent the last year strategizing and getting back to my ideal weight so I would be ready for surgery. The most frustrating thing right now is finding underwear that fits my body. It has to be exactly the right height to not be seen over my pants, and not fall under my hanging skin while exercising. And my breasts ... have seen better days. They are deflated pancakes. I began as a 36C and when I was nursing I was usually a 36DDD. Now I am back to a 36C size, but everything has shifted ... downward.

You look like the PERFECT candidate for this, and I'm not just saying that. I can totally understand your nervous excitement! You're just a few days away now. Please keep us posted! And make sure you read JenBob's article about Mommy Makeovers in the forum. It's a great read.

What gear have people found most helpful? I have read Walkers and Adjustable Beds. My parents have those, so I may spend a couple recovery days over there. The hospital told me I would want to go home in a shirt that buttoned or zipped. I'm sure a lot of things I have never heard of. I've been reading recommendations for raised toilet seats and shower chairs ... we already have some of those. I want to be sure I have what I need so I don't have to run out to a store right after surgery.

I used a hospital bed it was great I had it in my living room. I used it for about 3 weeks. I used the shower chair it was very helpful. I didnt need the walker or the toilet seat raiser. I had both on hand. I'm 4'11" so maybe that helped with the toilet lol. My toilet is beside the counter so I just used that to pull myself up. The BEST thing I had was my husband he was fantastic. So if you have someone to help. Oh I also had satin PJ's worked great for sliding myself off the bed or chair or whatever.

I am a mom of three boys and am the same height as you, but am still trying to get back to 150 lbs first. I can't wait to hear how it goes for you because I am going to do the same thing! Please write about how well you liked the doctor! I am excited for you!
