So, I have gone back and forth with this but I can't spend another year in this body. I'm a 32 year old mom of two precious girls and I'm ready to take my body back. I have always had a love hate relationship with my body. You see I have beautiful large breast but not much else. It was okay in my younger days but as I have gotten older all my weight gain has been to my midsection and nowhere else leaving me looking like what I call a busted chicken. Harsh I know but I have to be honest about what I see. So I began my journey about 2 weeks ago trying to find a surgeon to give me my dream body. I want the hour glass figure I have dreamed of.

Hello. I am going with Ortega also. And like you ready to get this started. Do you know when you are interested in having your procedure. Maybe we can become sx buddies and go at the same time. What do you think??

I was thinking about July also. I wanted to atleast have some time at the beach. But then I started to second guess July because its so hot and humid and wearing that garment would probaly be so uncomfortable. So I'm not sure. May push back to September. I will know for sure on Monday. But keep in touch. @Karshamonee

I feel your pain. You sound just like me. I'm 5'1" and 140 lbs. it's all at the top and midsection. I too think I'm built like a linebacker and my husband calls me chicken butt. You are brave by taking this first step and seeking out support from the lovely ladies here.

So I did the before pictures that all of us take when we begin this journey ... And how have I let myself go like this. I was literally disgusted with what I saw. I can't even bring myself to post them. I told my husband that he is a good man being able to love my body the way he does because it is horrible. I'm 5"1' and 147 lbs but it is all at the top. I look like a line backer! Ladies I was literally hurt by what I saw. I need to get my [RS bleep] together and get this done as soon as reasonably possible!!!!

Its ok girl. We all have our insecurities, but count the blessings. Your husband loves you for who you are which speaks volumes to who you really are. Now that you know what you want to "fix", set a goal and achieve them. its important you feel comfortable in your own skin. I will be supporting through your journey .. and don't be afraid to post your pics, this community was built for women are progressively trying to improve themselves. I was nervous at first too, but once you upload those pics your journey becomes real and you'd be surprised on how many women you may inspire to follow suit. I wish you all the best and encouragement possible. Hugs and kisses from Toronto

Thank you so much. I really made me realize that I have to do something because I don't want to feel like this when I look at my body anymore. My determination is there and I'm ready to get this done.

Hey doll first thing I had to realize is as a woman we go through so much that it eventually takes a tole on our body our body goes through so many changes and it leaves us sometimes not too happy with it. It may seem bad and trust me I know exactly how you feel but despite the changes we find so hard to accept we must love ourselves inside and out wanting to ENHANCE that beauty is totally fine making changes to make you love urself MORE is great don't think ur less beautiful without those enhancements though I'm married as well and my husband doesn't really agree with me getting the bbl however he is sooooo supportive I have explained to him that I don't think I'm ugly or less pretty but there are some changes I want not for him but for me what I'm basically getting at is girl accept ur beauty and don't be little it!! But giving some change is fine if that's what it takes to make u more comfortable in our skin

Drains?!

Ok ladies, I know some doctors use drains and some do not. Does anyone know if Ortega uses them? I know Salzhauer doesn't. I hate drains. I had one with my last c-section and it caused more discomfort and delayed my healing process.

He doesn't use them for the bbl. I saw you got a tummy tuck, which look amazing by the way.
