I am currently 3 weeks away from my surgery and as I think anyone will be a little mixed of feelings. Nerves, anxiety and panick starts at this time. I am hoping all comes out well and my healing process is not as bad as I been reading. I am in need of a mommy make over as I don't feel comfortable with my body !!

I completely understand how you feel. I am a mom of 5 and my date is for Feb 4 in Miami with Dr Ortega, I'm from Al so this is a "trip" to take and all I keep thinking about is the distance I will be away from my babies, not to mention the down time with the recovery process but I know I am a great mom & im pretty sure you are too and no one deserves to feel more comfortable in their skin like a woman who has sacrificed her body to bring forth another life ☺️ that should be enough for us both to motivate each other

Yes you are right!! I am mentally and physically ashamed of my stretch marks and pouchy belly. I am in so much urge of this, I've been planning this ever since I had my first child but been so scared to doing it. I have decided now to accomplish my dream !!!

Good luck! I hope you get everything you wished for. I'm also scheduled for surgery with Dr Ortega, in Miami. I'm getting a breast lift augmentation and a tummy tuck. My surgery won't be until March though ! From everything I've been reading about Dr Ortega he seems to be very very good, so I think you're in good hands .keep us posted on your progress good

Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes reason why I picked him ! Yet I am skeptical as this is my first surgery. I've never had a down time surgery. But I do leave it in gods hands and hope for the best !!
