I am a mom of four (ages 13, 9, 6 and 2). All of my children were big babies (biggest was 10 pounds) so between carrying them and nursing all 4 my body has been through a lot. Im sure if I ate better and worked out it wouldn't be as bad. lol
I have been working hard to get the "baby weight" off and feel better. Still have 10 pounds to go. My belly and boobs are such a mess! Want to cry when I look at them. I would love to get a mommy makeover. My closet friend had the surgery last year and looks amazing!! I am terrified of going through with it but hate feeling horrible about my body. I made an appointment on June 3 for a consult with Dr. Adam Kolker in NYC. I am excited and nervous about it. Its crazy but I'm losing sleep over it now...not sure how I will survive if I get the nerve to book the surgery.

Those four babies sure come at us like a wrecking ball, but just can't help but love them crazy. Definitely time for us.

Hi, my name is Kathleen and I'm looking for the past 20 years outside as well as in the USA for a sergeant with a team experienced enough to do my tummy tuck with a bbl, I'm scared of the many unlicensed doctors in the USA that I came across. i don't want to go outside New York. I've read other people reviews and by their reviews they don't seem to be actually patients. Besides the BOARD OF PLASTIC SURGERY where else did you research. I NEED HELP!!!!

What having babies has done to my belly ????

I am not sure if I want to laugh or cry when I look at this! No belly button and lots of stretch marks. I have a flap of skin that is tucked into my bathing suit bottoms. Can't wait to get it fixed!

Stressing is not fun!

I haven't even had my consult yet and I'm already stressing! Feel guilty about spending so much money and not being able to take care of my children after surgery. Terrified of getting put to sleep too. Want to be positive and get the surgery done and be happy with my decision. Stressing is not fun! Ugh!

Don't feel guilty - you do what you need to do as a wife & mother - there's nothing wrong with doing something for yourself!!! Just make sure that you have someone to help you with the kids after surgery. I don't have small children, but that's the one thing that I consistently hear from the women on this site that do - you'll need some help early on during your recovery process.
