After 12 Years I Am Finally Taking the Plunge! - Pinehurst, NC

I have been spending hours every day reading your profiles and admiring your pictures, so I guess it's time I finally introduce myself. I am a 40 year old, married, mother of 4 beautiful children. After my last pregnancy with twins, my belly was stretched beyond belief! I lost over 80 pounds total after I had the twins and now I am left with a skinny body and a HUGE stomach! I have had 3 consults over the course of the past 8 months. Dr. Zoellner was the one I chose to perform my surgery. I was impressed by his office staff and he took time out to answer my questions and really explain the procedure to me. I finally saved up enough time to take off from my job so my surgery is scheduled for October 27, 2014.
Stats: 5'6, 170 (I plan to be 160 by surgery). People say I don't like I weigh as much as I do. I will post before pictures soon.

Well I finally decided to add pictures. It's so difficult seeing myself so out of shape. It's even more motivation for me to get this surgery. 35 days to go!

I had my pre-op appointment yesterday and everything went well. The staff at Dr. Zoellner's office did a great job of calming my nerves and making me feel comfortable. I watched 2 shorts videos; 1 on abdominoplasty and 1 on liposuction. He was available to answer any questions and never made me feel rushed. I took the dreaded "before" pictures and received my instructions and prescriptions. I am 6 days away from what I believe will be a positive change in my life. I have started experiencing jitters, nerves and a bad case of the "what ifs". I trust my surgeon but must importantly, I trust that my GOD will bring me through. I promise to keep you all updated and shared my experience. Have a great day!
