Here it is.... I am a mother of 3, 40yrs, 5`1 and weight 115lbs. I am so tired of looking at my saggy tummy and breasts, I have decided to do something for myself since i just had my Birthday 2 weeks ago. I cant wait for my new body. I have been obsessing over a MOMMY MAKE OVER for 3 month now. I am waiting for the quotes and will book my surgery.

Thanks for starting your story here on RealSelf! I'm excited for you! Do you have someone who will be traveling with you to Florida?

I had to go to another PS to pull all the stitches Dr Ortega left sticking out of my body. I am sick & embarrassed to keep answering the question that my current doctors keep asking me "where did you have this done to you?" I'm very happy for you but doctors are human. Perhaps, he bit off more than he could chew with my case.

Yes most likely. Then again my mom will probably want to come also. I'll inbox u my number.

Hadn't finalized that yet. I was going to stay in Ft Lauderdale with Bri'Bree next week.... BUT thanx to Vanity I had to do some rescheduling. As a result when the new clinic of my choice contacted me yesterday the date she gave me was the 28th. Now I'll prob look into EuroSuites in Doral. They are mini apartments around the rate of a hotel. Like $110 per night

400CCS I am 32D. It looks too big for my frame. I wanted Cs but doctor couldn't do it cuz my skin was so stretch out from kids it would look saggy if I got Cs cups
