Hey ladies,
I'm a 39 year old mother of four, 19,16,13 & 11. My first born was 10lbs, and I was only 120lbs at the time, I gained 70lbs with him. I would always lose the weight, but the lose skin never left. When my second child was 1, I was diagnosed with cancer, underwent chemo and radiation, and was left with the right side of my tummy and buttock smaller than the left. I've dealt with the deformity for 15yrs and have decided that it's time for me to "DO ME"!! I can't have my buttock corrected d/t the fact that the my muscles are dead d/t the radiation. I'm good though, still fine and bout to be "FINE AT FORTY"!! My surgery is scheduled for September 26,2013. I'll be getting a full tummy tuck, liposuction of the flanks and muscle repair, at the cost of $7,135. If I decide to get liposuction of the lower back the cost will be $8,700. These prices include the anesthesia and facility fee.I figure by next November (11/25/2013) I'll be all healed and ready to shake a tail feather!! Wish me luck!!!

Hey ladies!! I have good news!! I changed my date from September 26,2013 to August 8, 2013. I'm so excited, 7 weeks away!!! My daughter asked me to have it earlier, so I checked with my physician and the benefits office. I have added some before pics, sorry for the scenery, lol!! This is a two piece bikini that I hope to someday fit into.

Omg yes you will be fine at 40! Get you a weighted hula hoop NOW! Use it every day NOW! It should held with the back fat. I've been hooping since 2005. I hoop about 20 minutes a day . Igot mine at wwww.customhoops.com but most sporting goods stores have them. I've seen them at Marshalls and Tjmax. Walmart and target has them too. Start with 2 minutes and work your way to 15 to 20 minutes a day. It really shapes your body and strengthens your core. Good luck!

Thanks Girl!! Too bad I'm just now seeing this review!! But I will definitely get it and hope that it works for the month prior to my 20 year reunion.
