Hi everyone! I had a mommy makeover scheduled for...
WORTH IT
Hi everyone! I had a mommy makeover scheduled for TODAY - 10/1/16. It had to be postponed for three weeks because I caught strep throat. I rarely ever get sick and don't remember the last time I ever had strep throat. I am super disappointed that the surgery had to be postponed. I was mentally and physically prepared, had everything set up to a T (a lot due to reading as much info on this website as I could) - all the help I would need afterwards, even my period was overwith and I wouldn't have to deal with it for a month. It crossed my mind - "is this a sign that I shouldn't go through with the surgery?" or is this just bad luck. For two weeks prior to getting sick, I was taking vitamins every day, eating super healthy and exercising. I'm glad I don't have to wait longer than three weeks, but it sure will mess a lot of things up. Once the date comes closer, I will post pictures and write more about my experience.

Hi! Did you have your surgery? If so, how did it go?

Hi there. Yes, I had the surgery a little over 5 weeks ago. It went great! The first two weeks were hard, but thankfully I am so much better now and am very happy with my results. I was hesitant to update posts on here because I didn't tell many people I had the surgery. Just got kind of worried that someone might recognize me from what I was saying or the pictures. My stomach is so flat and although boobs look great, they still need to drop a little bit. But I've been buying new clothes and undergarments - it's awesome because I look good and feel good in them! Thank you for asking. Is your surgery soon or did you have yours??

So happy for you! My surgery is scheduled for a week from tomorrow. 12/13. I'm super excited and also anxious and nervous. It certainly helps to hear stories like yours with happy outcomes!

Thanks! And yay I'm so excited for you. Trust me - I had the same exact feelings and concerns as you. I am so glad I went through with it because it was so worth it! I am like a new woman, and have never felt more confident in my life. It feels pretty good (now that I've gotten past the first couple difficult weeks). I am wondering why I didn't do this sooner. Also, my husband can't keep his hands off of me. I was so self conscious in the bedroom and avoided being intimate with him. He obviously didn't like that. So this will help us re-connect physically. I think the best thing you can do at this point is to prepare yourself for the recovery. The more you rest, the easier the recovery will be. I would also suggest pampering yourself now while you have time before your surgery. Things like a hair cut and color, mani/pedi, other "beautification services". You won't be able to do those things for a while after the surgery. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!

Thank you so much! I had a mani pedi this past weekend and getting my hair cut and colored this Thursday! Great minds think alike!
Thank you for sharing your journey with this community. I'm sorry to hear about your surgery getting postponed, but hope you're feeling better now!
