Hi everyone :-) I'm new to this site but have enjoyed seeing such a positive community here! With that I have decided to undergo a mommy makeover. I have 1 child and I was a size 5 before now I'm a 15 lowest I was after pregnancy was a 12 but even then I wasn't satisified with my body. I weight 225 and I'm 5'8.... I never had breast before my daughter and after it seems the fat deposits and gravity made me not look like a 20 year old. Well I have been in and out of the gym I have tried most fads and while the problem I feel is my waist! My stomach hangs and has made me depressed but since I've been so busy these past 7 years with my daughter I have come to realize this is such a factor to being a woman! Your waist is something that is assumed to be small can anyone name a single women's clothing store that does not sell crop tops? Ok now is the time to be excited!! I have 5.5 months till my operation and I was told I need to lose 15 pounds but I plan on losing more. I started today as the first day I purhased a treadmill and I started an eat clean diet. One thing I didn't mention is I'm traveling to Miami to get this procedure done with Dr Mel Ortega... Can anyone provide tips for nice hotels? I will have someone with me and I plan on staying 10 days I also need advice on good scar creams and food ideas post op such as low sodium etc... I'm taking off work from 7-30-8-11 and want to know if that's eniugh time? My job is really just sitting and standing. Thanks everyone please let me know if you had work done at spectrum Aesthestics I had originally thought of using premiere center but my coordinator got annoyed with me and didn't contact me back for 1.5 weeks after I wanted to put a deposit so I made other plans

I'm going with my husband. We're going down the 29th and leaving the 4th. We rented a little studio in Miami. I hope!! I get to enjoy the beach and Miami. I'm going to take make me heal vitamins and eat protein. If anything I can sit on the beach drinking a juice box and take my pain pills :)
