I am having a mommy makeover done in Miami Florida in August which is about five hours away from home. I am just looking for any tips and ideas to help me prepare best I can. I will also be staying in a hotel a few days after the surgery. I'm soooo excited and nervous!!! How long should I stay at the hotel? Should I get the massages right away??

Thanks for sharing your story. I suggest checking in your surgery date on this calendar so you can meet others getting MMs around the same time. You might also find this forum post helpful.

If ur not sure you want to get your don't do it. You have to make sure of your decision girl. If u do god will guide you trust me. But always go with ur instincts that's your best choice.

Oh that's me just getting nervous but I am honestly so excited about this! I'm counting the days.... What does get to me is the guilt of the $$$ being spent on myself.... That always gets me down when I start thinking...

Never feel bad when your investing in yourself. Right now we have the expense of expanding my house and I still went for my mommy make over. My boys told me you don't feel bad that you invest so much $$$$$ I replied not at all. I had been saving for these like 5 years ago now that I have the money iam going for it. Especially that hubby is very supportive he told me if that will make you happy go for it. I did iam already on my second week of recovery and I feel great and happy that I took that huge step. Once your surgery and recovery is over you will be feeling thrive and happy like me.

Wow that's mean. Why even get on this site to write negative comments. Why don't you go do something productive with your time, instead of feeding in to your own misery. No one wants to hear what you have to say.

I'm still a Little more than a month away from my surgery and I'm just so nervous and excited. I'm waiting for the office to I guess send me to get my physical and maybe be a mammogram? Did any one else have to have this done as well?

Hi I feel like the site is not to personable. Maybe because I still haven't gotten the drift of using it :) but I would love to send and receive private messages from anyone that wants to be in closer contact throughout this scary and exciting process... I just feel kinda of lost and alone in this process.... And I would love a support system. And would love to also be a support system for anyone as well! Hope to meet you !
