43 Years Young, 3 Children and Ready to Get my Pre-baby Body Back and Fabulous! - Orlando, FL

Me, me :-) mine is April 17th in Miami with Dr Ary Krau, I as you did my research for many months, and as you have achieved more confidence and less fear through the research, best of luck.What are you doing to prepare for your mm?

Hi Infinity68! Your less then a month away, yaaaaaayyyyy! I have just been mentally, emotionally and physically preparing myself! I have the utmost confidence in my doctor that he will deliver my expectations. I started to build up my exercise program to get down to my weight goal. It was never mentioned that I had to lose weight but I want to be as close to my weight goal when I go in, since you can't go to the gym or do any strenuous excerice for at least 6 weeks. I have also been trying to eat more fruits and vegetables, lots of lemon water all day long! Lol. Mentally and emotionally I have been thinking positive thoughts and thinking about the aftermath of my beautiful surgery! The more positive energy we have, I feel the better healing recovery we will experience. I look forward to following your beautiful journey! I will be posting before and after pics closer to the date. I also want to mention that I haven't purchased a thing yet. My doctor has a package with all the basic necessities that I will need, so that I won't have to run around looking for things before surgery. So that's a bonus! I will be flying from out of state and will be down in Orlando a little over 3 weeks. My husband will be with me for 13 days, then has to go back to work. My sister will take over and is taking a week off to tend to me! So blessed! She lives in Orlando, so I will be staying in her suite. What are you doing to prepare yourself? Hope to hear from you soon sweetie!

No, not too far. I live about an hour and 40 minutes away. I've only gone to the initial consultation so far, but I have a concern I don't have enough loose skin to have a low scar for the Tt. It's hard to find a lot of girls in a lower weight bracket. A lot of pics are of ladies that are overweight.

Having 3 children and gaining weight for each one, that has given me lose skin. Not bad, but enough to be a good candidate for a full Tt. Looking at your pictures, you definently don't look like you need a full, only a mini. Which in my opinion is great. I fluctuate between 126-128 now. My goal is to get down to 120-125 by surgery date. I work out a lot, so my weight is more muscle. I'll have time to post pics this evening or tmrw.

Thank you so much Kristie for the information! I have been following you, and you look amazing with that little waist! Congrats on the new beautiful you! I'm 4 wks away from my mm. I'm getting very excited and am looking forward to spending my recovery time in Florida. My doctor recommends a 3 week stay in Florida he has since changed his preference for a recovery schedule to 3 weeks for patients who are from out of the area, as he feels better being able to follow up as much as possible before patient leaves them. I have my sister and her husband that lives in Orlando, so I will be staying in their suite they have next to their home. My husband will be with me for 13 days then he has to fly back into NY for work. My sister will be taking off a week to tend to my needs! :) love her!!! Everyone on this site says this is one of the best thing they've ever done for themselves. I am hoping for the same and speedy recovery. Thank you again for the calendar info and I look forward to hearing from you again. Keep rocking that body girl! :)

I truly can't wait to meet the whole staff! I have been conversating a lot with Keely, his patient coordinator, and absolutely love her already! I also can't wait to recover in beautiful weather! Just knowing the sunshine and warmth is going to be around me, I feel that my recovery is going to be so much better! Thank you all for the encouraging words and hope to encourage all as well! Will post pictures soon! ;)

Thank you cherry coke for your words! Look forward to following and reading about your journey! June 1st will be hear before you know it. I can't believe that mine is just right around the corner! :)

Kristie9901, literally you have me in tears... Happy tears that is! Your encouragement is so much appreciated. Yes, I keep saying to myself that I do deserve this and it's time for me. I raised 3 children who are all great adults now. By the age of 20, I already had them all. I think my husband and I did a pretty good job at raising them. I certainly will make sure to relax and be stress free so my body can fully recover. Yes, I do deserve this!!! We will actually be staying with my wonderful sister and brother in law. They have a beautiful suite next to their home with everything we need! Refrigerator, microwave, pool, pond in their back yard and so much more! And of course we have access to their home. I know I will be so comfortable. I will post a picture of their inside pool tonight. Tmrw I will post pics of me!!! Lol. Have a great night sweetie! :)
