Almost 40, 5’4” 160lbs. Mom of 3 big boys, ready to get her shape back!

I’ve been looking at this site for years hoping that someday I could join those who have been able to restore themselves, and now I’m going to be able to do it in the next year! I’m excited and terrified at the same time, lol.
I have 3 boys ages 10, 8, and 4 and an awesome husband. After my second boy my stomach didn’t really bounce back and it was even worse after my third. It probably doesn’t help that they were all big (8-8 to 9-10!) and I have a short waist. I was only a 32B before babies and after nursing all 3 for a year each I’m down to a 32A.
I can already say I will not miss having strangers ask me if I’m pregnant on a regular basis!
I had a consultation yesterday and the office was amazing—all the staff were very friendly and I was put completely at ease. Everyone was patient and willing to answer all my questions. I’m tempted to book with them without doing other consultations...I don’t know how it can get better!

So I had already had an initial consultation with Dr. Gervais, but afterwards I had a few more questions and wanted to do sizing again. I’ve landed on ~490cc that should take me from a 34A to a D. I run so I don’t want much bigger than that! Of course if it was up to my husband I’d be Dolly Parton lol. Dr. Gervais and his office are amazing and I feel very comfortable booking there as soon as I get the $ for the deposit. My specific questions were making sure that my desired size implants would fit my frame and not sag or bulge unnaturally. Dr. Gervais assures me they will fit well and not have problems. Given how many of these he does a year, I’m confident if he is!

I’ll also need significant muscle repair in addition to the regular tummy tuck, due to some severe diastasis. He’s planning to stitch not only the middle but also the sides! It’ll be ouchy but worth it! I’ll post before pics and update with surgery date when it’s booked!

These may give you a better picture (no pun intended!) of why I want to do this. The first few demonstrate how a sports bra makes my boobs completely disappear. The last one I took intentionally not sucking in my stomach.

I’ll never forget waiting to start my first marathon the year after my second son was born, when some lady came up to me and said it was wonderful that I was going to raise this baby to value physical fitness or something like that...my baby was 15 months old by then.

My youngest is 4 years old now and I run ~20 miles a week. I’m so tired of people assuming I’m pregnant!!
