30 Years Old, 100lb Weight Loss, 2 Pregnancies (One with Twins)... Need This Skin Off! - Los Angeles, CA
ORIGINAL POST
I'm Heather. In high school, I was a cheerleader...
WORTH IT$19,200
I'm Heather. In high school, I was a cheerleader with big hips and DD's and an eating disorder. When I left home for college, I started eating again... And eating. And eating. I was also diagnosed with PCOS and high blood pressure. My weight began to hover at 225. Then I lost both parents at 19, and the weight kept climbing. I graduated college at roughly 260 pounds. I got married, had my 1st child at 24 and hit 295lbs the day I delivered. I later had a twin pregnancy, delivered 16 months after my 1st child. I got back down to 265ish. I began making healthier choices for my kids, and got down to 245 pounds.
In 7/2015 I decided to push myself to eat cleaner, and ended up becoming a vegan. I would have never thought it. I have lost 50 pounds and feel great! I also would have never thought I could have lost 100-105 (depends on the day lol) pounds on my own with just willpower and self love.
However, now, I feel like I actually look worse naked than I did before. My breasts (which were their largest while breast feeding at a 44H cup) are complete pancakes now. My stomach is so saggy (the way it hangs when I lean over is so sad). The stretch marks don't bother me... But I would like to look how I feel on the inside. And it would be wonderful to wear clothes without spanx!!
I'm setting up consults now to do the procedures this summer. Any referrals or tips are appreciated! Thanks for reading!

Surgery booked!
Met with the doctor today and booked a tummy tuck, breast lift and augmentation for June 22! I can't believe in two months this journey I have wished for for so long will be here!

Hey just curious...Have you ask your doctor to throw in lipo as well? Maybe you didn't want it, but I was just thinking since you're already paying $20G for it, they can throw in lipo for free as well LMAO...

Yeah he is going to do a little. I told him he has free reign in deciding if/where I need it. Lol

Deciding to not do the implant
I have decided against adding the implant. I have enough breast tissue, but was getting a little greedy with my results. I really want a natural post op look, and want to be able to say everything is "all me" lol. Plus, I'm already a full DDD, and I don't want to be any bigger, especially with the much smaller waist. We will see if I stick with this decision :) lol

I am seeing a surgeon in Aug regarding my options, I appreciate your comments about going for a lift instead of implants. I feel the same. I am glad your recovery is going well and I look forward to seeing how you progress. Thanks for sharing.
