I have not gotten my surgery yet. My pre-op is scheduled for this Thursday Feb. 19th. I have been looking into this for about 2 years now and have decided after i had my last daughter last June that it is time and that i will not be having anymore kids. I am very nervous and excited at the same time.

Hi! I hope you don't mind me following along. I will be having a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Grawe on the 11th of March. Good luck and I can't wait to see your results. We look similar.

I am scared, but I am trying not to think about the actual surgery, just what I'm (hopefully) going to look like afterwards. :) I desperately need the whole deal. I have 5 kids (the last round being twins) and lost 60 lbs... there's lots of skin and flab hanging around here. Lol

Lol I know what ya mean, are you getting lipo too?
User Avatar
February 18, 2015
Yes on my inner and outer thighs and flanks. I hate my thighs, so I definitely wanted it done there.
User Avatar
February 18, 2015
Oh I see, I'm not getting any lipo
User Avatar
February 18, 2015
I'm a bit nervous about the lipo... I've heard some people say it's the thing that hurts the most. I probably could get by without it, but I have these "saddlebags" (as I like to call them) on my outer thighs that bug the heck out of me. I want those ugly things gone! lol... I really need to start my review on here. I'll have to get my hubby to take some pics (eek!).

Lol I get it, I love my legs although I Hate my arm flab, but don't have any more money for the lipo and I'm scared of it lol

Lol... I get it. I would love to get rid of my flappy arms also, but this is all I can afford at the moment. We've been saving for this since the twins were born back in '13. As soon as I read up on "twin skin" I knew I was getting rid of it! :) Plus I planned on dropping all the weight I gained also, so I knew there would be extra skin from that. I actually have a lot of muscle, it just seems to be covered by flappy skin and some fat I just can't get rid of, no matter how hard I work. Ugh... Here's hoping we look better in a few weeks! (EEEEKKKK!!! Is it really that close?!)
