Actually Did It!!

I have had three kids since Nov 07. My youngest is 11 weeks old. I have lost 50lbs and have 10 more to go. My body has been stretched out and I am so excited to get it back! We are done having kids and I am hoping for surgery the first week in September.
I would like to get a BA and a full TT, however, I will find out more at my first consultation this week. I have scheduled four consults; my first this week (10th), my second on the 16th, my third June 6th and my fourth on June 8th.
I am hoping for no lipo, but I have alot of belly fat that never seems to go away between kids, so we will see. I am 5'2" 136.5 currently and like to be right around 125.
So I went to my first consult last night. It was...
Looks like I need a lift to go along with my augmentation. My breasts have always been slightly different in size but after 3 kids in 3 years with a 60 lbs weight gain and loss each time (not to mention breast-feeding, they are substantially different. I need a major lift on the left side and a slight lift on the right side. I decided on saline over silicone and we will go under the muscle. Not quite sure on size yet...
As for my tummy, I will need a full instead of a mini, which I completely agree with, as I have alot to remove and I have "severe separation" He talked to me about lipo but said he didn't think it was necessary. (yay!)
My sister went with me to piggy back : ) as she was considering a MM herself. She hasn't seen me "exposed" so she must have been a little surprised at my damage. On the way home she said no way in hell she's doing it. She said she doesn't hate what she sees in the mirror as much as I do and then added, " I can totally see why you want to do it...no offense but you look pretty bad." Gotta love sisters, brutal honesty:)
Next consult: 5 days away.
OK. I went to my second consultation (different...

Your sister...LOL! Yet, from what I understand, a tummy tuck is the only way to fix severe muscle separation. Please let us know when you get a date scheduled!
Don't get the mini. Find someone who will work with you and give you the full TT. I saw 3 doctors before I chose mine.
Find one who will give you the pain pump. I cannot stress enough how important this has been for me. I get extremely nauseaus sick with surgery and I have not even had one single issue this time.
And one more thing.. the breast lift does not hurt AT ALL! It may be because I had implants prior to doing this, but they feel really normal now. I also have 5 drains in (2 in breasts) and 3 in tummy. My doc is a huge believer in drains to prevent infection and swelling. They are ugly but not hard to deal with as I thought they would be. And it is a temporary condition!
Go for it, you will be glad you did. You can see my pics on this site. I will try and post some post op ones soon.
