WORTH IT$16,000
This has been a long time coming for me. I have been wanting to do this for 15+ years, and I finally decided that this year was the right time. A little bit about me: my kiddo will soon be 19, and I've had these issues since before he was born- he just added stretch marks! I've been up and down with my weight most of my adult life, my lowest weight was 128 lbs.

So you have some lumps. You still look great. I would give anything for a butt like yours. I'm 5 weeks post op after a tummy tuck that I added on to my breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Very painful. Not worth it at this point.

Just stay positive, and take care of yourself, and I'm sure you will feel much better soon!

Another Pic
This a better pic of what I've been dealing with for years- the bulges on my inner thighs. My right leg is clearly bigger than my left leg! It's hard to wear a dress without Spanx or some kind of undergarment, because the bulges rub together, and its extremely uncomfortable, and can get painful!
I can't wait to have this done- 3 more weeks!

You go Leigh! Those bumps will be gone soon! Dr. Restifo is amazing at what he does!trying to keep calm! Only 4 more days for me and I wave good bye to the last part of my body that didn't fare well from my weight loss! :)

I'm so excited for you Tiny! A lot of the reason why I chose Dr. Restifo is because of the many positive reviews you and his other patients on RS have written. Yes he is a little more pricey than other surgeons, but this is my body, what I will live with for the rest of my life, and can't afford to have an inexperienced surgeon make a stupid mistake resulting in heartache for me! My worst nightmare!

2 weeks to go..
Just about 2 weeks until surgery, and I'm feeling a range of emotions. Nervous, excited, and just praying that there won't be any complications and that I heal well afterwards.
I also have other feelings that I'm not sure how to process- I just found out yesterday that I am going to be a grandmother at the end of the year. And although I'm very happy for my son and his girlfriend, I'm also sad at the same time because I feel like, he's still my baby, and now he's going to have a baby! So, I've just been floating through the day, a little down, because I need time to absorb this news. But at least it takes my mind off my nerves about the surgery!
I've been slowly purchasing items for recovery, and I just have a few things left to get. I'm debating whether or not I should get a foam mattress topper; I don't have a recliner, but my sofa is a pull out bed, and the mattress is thin. Also, my bedroom does not have a TV, so while I'm recuperating I am going to want to watch TV.
I'm just nervous about napping on the couch and waking up in pain!
So, I have 2 full weeks left of hard core workouts. I've been doing Insanity since end of March, it's tough but I love it. I just need to decide which workout program to do when I get the go ahead to work out again!
That's it for now real selfers.. :)

How exciting! A grandma! And you will be healed and able to hold your first grand baby by the time it comes! I have four grandchildren! It's so different! You will love it! Congats! I have a pillow wedge system for my bed that has worked out wonderful, a walker which helps me get around, a shower chair and under pads to put over sheets because with thigh lift there is some leaking and it helps cut down on changing the sheets! If I think of anything else I will let you know!
