Hey all! I am 33, wife and mother to two amazing kiddos. (Ages 7 and 3) I've had two C-sections, I have an umbilical hernia and significant diastasis recti. I am scheduled to do a extended tummy tuck, breast lift and liposuction to my flanks, arms and inner thighs on 7/20/2020. I have been wanting to get this surgery done for a few years now and just finally got brave enough. I am nervous but super excited. My measurements are:
Arms: 16”
Chest: 42.5”
Waist: 36.5”
Belly button area: 47"
Hips: 46”
Thighs: L:28" R:29"
Excited to see results after swelling goes down!!

Good luck, I'm almost exactly the same measurements! Hope it turns out awesome!

I’m so excited to see your results!! My measurements are very similar to yours and I am planning on getting a tummy tuck, some lipo to the flanks arms and inner thighs, and hoping to either get a breast lift or augmentation depending on what the Dr thinks is best and a butt lift! My hubby agreed that if I reached my goal that he would be more than happy to let me go through with the surgery. He’s very protective of me so all he asked was that I do what I was already planning with the working out etc but to just think about it and make sure it’s what I want and we will do what we can to get it done!

That's awesome! I plan to take more measurements and full body pictures once some of the swelling goes down! Good luck, it is a huge decision but well worth it!

Here are my before pictures. You can see my an muscles are very separated as it protrudes quite a bit. 3 more days!!! :/ Getting more and more nervous, just trying to focus my attention elsewhere. I am sure the results will be worth it, just trying to keep from freaking out!

Congratulations!! I'm excited for you!

Can’t wait to see your results! You’ll be fine and if you begin to think that you’ve made a mistake or that your not happy with your results just remember that you need to give your body, mind and spirit time to heal and adjust to your new body...

Congratulations! Someone told me not to expect perfection which has really helped my mind set. As long as you feel like no matter what it will look better then it's worth it. I'm very happy with my results so far.

That's good advice! Thanks! I had a dream last night that I had it done already. It wasn't painful at all but the results were not that great... I am sure none of that will true. Haha.

Let me be honest... the first 4 days are tough but everyday gets better. I'm day 12 and feeling pretty normal. You got this

Alright guys, I’m freaking out!!! Woke up with a migraine from hell. Have had a stress induced cold sore for 3 days now. At times I feel guilty that I am doing this since I won’t be be able to care for and hold my kids for a while. Then I feel guilty for feeling guilty because I am choosing to do this to myself. Then I feel excited to see what my new body will look like. I am truly all over the place with emotions.
I have one down in Golden, CO at 6am tomorrow for my 7am surgery. (1hr 15min drive) it’s going to be a early morning.
It’s getting real! Please pray or make a wish for me. I’m really nervous!
