WORTH IT$11,000

Right now I am counting the days down until March 12th, I started dieting in December 15th and I have lost 19lbs, my goal was 20 before surgery, so I'm just about there, and I'm going to shoot for another 10lbs. I have had 4-Csections, with the last one going horrbily wrong I ended up horrible scars and tore up all the muscles inside and that was 9yrs ago, I'm so ready to be able to look at myself in the mirror, and not hate what I see. I chose Dr Garland Porterfield in OKC for my procedures, he did a mini tuck for a friend of mine and she loved him and suggested him. I feel good about him, he seem to really listen and cared about what I wanted and needed to look like when I am done. I have read so many womens stories, I have googled information about a million times. I'm just ready!! Any advice, or anything you gals can share to help get prepared for this, I would love to hear! I will post as I go.

Your story is similar to mine. I have 5 kids the last four born thru c-section. My youngest will turn 9 in March and my MM is scheduled for March 14. I am trying to look up all info I can and lose a little more weight before the big day! I am from the Phoenix area. I can't wait and am somewhat terrified all at the same time. I know how hard c-sections are so I feel like I am somewhat prepared mentally for the tummy tuck....but nervous for breast lift . I want a nice result. I am DD now and want same size but better shape. Don't want [RS bleep] size. That worries me most.

Our dates are close together, it will be nice to share our stories together and see how different they are and maybe help each other through it. I'm down 21 lbs and I am hoping that will be enough to accomplish what I am after, I'm also getting a BA Im a 36c now, but my breast have never been full and stand up, so Im hoping that I end up with the right look I want to be D or DD that would be fine. Im just ready to feel good about me again. Can't wait to see how I journeys go!!!

I saw your update and that you hadn't received your paperwork from the Dr yet. I just got mine on Thurs which was the two week mark to surgery. I had to get bloodwork done and stop taking ibuprofen and pay for my surgery. I would call Dr office to see when you can expect it. I can't believe next week we are both getting this done!!! I am so stinking excited and nervous!
