Full TT & Breastlift w/OUT Implants done on 3/20/14.

Hello everyone!! I'm a 24 year old, proud mommy of two wonderful babies! (3 year old & 7 month old). I gained 45 lbs with each pregnancy and lost it both times within 4 months post delivery. I'm 5'0 and weigh 110lbs, which is actually less than what i weighed before baby #1. (i had gained 10 lbs on birth control before getting pregnant) My heaviest weight was 165, which is exactly what I weighed at the end of both pregnancies. (I was on bed rest after 25 weeks during both pregnancies too, which is what I like to blame the excessive gain of 45 lbs on... It couldn't have possibly been all of the Chinese take out and ice cream I consumed for 9 months- lol ) I started exercising 4 weeks after baby #2 and had lost 50 lbs by the time he was 6 months old. I attribute a lot of the weight loss to breast feeding. I exclusively breast fed him for the first 5 months, which burns around 500 calories a day. I was completely done breast feeding by Jan 2014, and after my milk dried up I was left with very saggy, deflated breasts. Add those boobies to the horrible stretch marks I was left with after baby #1, and you have one unhappy mommy. =(

My husband and I both agree that we do not want to add third. Therefore neither of us see any reason on postponing a mommy makeover. We know in order for me to regain my confidence a mommy makeover is a must. And we both feel like I should do it now while I'm young to get as much enjoyment as possible out of it. Diet and exercise can only do so much. The damage that was done to my body during both pregnancies is definitely something that can only be fixed by a PS. So as soon as i was done breast feeding the hunt for a PS began. After lots of researching I scheduled my consultation at Star Plastic Surgery in Novi, MI, which is about 90 minutes south east of my house.
They are a little more pricey than most places, but I figure you get what you pay for. I want only a Board certified Plastic Surgeon, and most PS in mid Michigan are not. ( most are Certified Cosmetic Surgeons who operate out of "surgery centers", not hospitals.) There are three different surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery, and I was scheduled for my consultation with Dr. Ellen Ozolins. Dr. Ozolins is a Board certified Plastic Surgeon, and she's a female. (Double yay! - I prefer female doctors. ) As soon as I met her at my first consult I fell in love with her. She is very sweet, well educated, and reassuring. When I went into my consult I had planned on getting a lift with Implants, however due to me already being a small D, she said implants definitely were not necessary since I do NOT want to add any volume to my breasts. I only want them to be nice a perky. They were DDs while breastfeeding and i definitely do not miss those huge uncomfortable, heavy things. A perky C or D is exactly what I want, and she said I would be able to accomplish those with a nice shape with out implants. So we agreed upon a tummy tuck, with a bilateral breast lift. I paid my $500 cash deposit at the end of my first consult to lock in my quoted price of $12,970. (They were running a special that week. It's normally around $16,000 for both surgeries done at once.) I paid my half down deposit around February 1st and scheduled my surgery for March 20, 2014. (I paid the surgery off in full on February 28) I had my last Pre OP consult yesterday and had my exam with their nurse. Everything went great, I got my prescriptions, signed all of the waivers, and met with Dr. Ozolins one more time to ask any questions I had. My surgery is in 2 weeks from tomorrow and I am super excited! I just want to be able to take my babies to a water park or beach with out having to hide my body and feel ashamed. Praying I will be nicely healed by the time bikini season rolls around in a couple of months (usually June here in Michigan) although with all of the snow we currently have outside it might be closer to August ;o)

Ok here are my 2 weeks pre op photos the hubby took for me . Try not to vomit. =[ weight in photos 110 lbs.

So my tt and BL is in 10 days. Can't wait to say bye to these stretch marks. Here's a photo showing my weight loss progress. First photo is 4 weeks after baby #2, and I'm around 150 lbs, 3rd one is today, and I'm 109 lbs.
