If you had seen pictures of me before I had my surgeries, you wouldn't think that was me. My babies packed 80lbs worth of fat and extra skin onto my tiny body. I started at 120lbs before babies, and ended at 203lbs. Right before I had my first surgery, which was lipo and a tummy tuck, I was 190, and I was a walking disaster. I had a permanent beer belly/post prego belly haha, and the fat was unbelievable. I had the surgery and then a month later had the breast lift and augmentation. I held my child way too soon after the breast surgery, and therefore acquired an infection in my left breast. The doctor had to put me under again quickly to fix it, but he did it right away, and everything was fine after that. I also wanted the breasts a little bigger, but I didn't communicate that very effectively. So 4 months later, I had my fourth surgery and he sucked out the rest of my stomach fat for free, and gave me the huge breasts that I wanted. It was a lot of healing to handle, especially with two young babies, but the whole process led to me feeling so great about myself again, and gaining so much more confidence. I don't feel like a blob anymore, I actually recognize the girl that I used to be. My weight is down to 149 now, and I'm still working on it. It was painful healing from the surgeries, but honestly, I would do it again because the end result is so stinking worth it. It was worth it to go through the pain, the surgeries, and the pills. I'm so thankful for this experience.
