WORTH IT$5,495
I am a busy mum of two beautiful girls aged 1.5yrs and 2.5yrs. And they are gorgeous my world. But after two very close together pregnancies and probably the fact I was at the end of my thirties my tummy muscles never recovered.
I continued to work out through out both pregnancies which may have helped keep my shape in some ways, but unfortunately I ended up with a very large muscle separation at the end of it all resulting in me looking four months pregnant regardless of the fact I was back to my original weight.
My husband and I decided I should not rush into anything first try Pilates, yoga, do as much research as possible on getting those muscles back together again. I bought a binder which I wore and we said let's give it at least one year and a half to allow the body time to heal and of course if we want to go for a third and final child, before making any drastic surgery decision's.
So here we are I can safely say those muscles are not coming back together ????. Even though I could live with the tummy I don't want to, I don't need a miracle but I want my nice figure back and get into those bikinis ????. I have always been a beach girl and the thought of not wanting to get out there seems like a big part of life would be taken away from me.
So with some research money was going to play a factor as well as choosing the right doctor. I came to the decision on Premium Care, Dr Alex Campbell and his lovely wife Dr Restrepo.
We figured we could try and do a a two for one family holiday and mummy makeover, lol. That's how I sold it to the hubby ????.

You look fantastic! I'm considering the surgery myself as I have the muscle separation with the loose skin around my belly button. I've gotten back into excellent shape and have done what I could...can't wait to have my body back! I hope you had an easy recovery. Take care.

Day of surgery and day 2
I ended up staying for two nights in a small hotel room across from the Premium Care Clinic. This ended up being a blessing in disguise as I needed to get carried in to the hotel by a chair. So there was no way I could have negotiated four flights in our apartment.
2) I ended up having stronger pain medication in the hospital and as a result of that and a little stress I was unable to pee. So we faced another obstacle and that was that I needed to have a catheter inserted. Wow does that hurt, the nurses and doctors were amazing but unfortunately we had a few complications where we needed to insert it in and out and in and out again for various reasons and that was horrible. I had a nurse stay with me all the time and between Angela, Nico and Manuela they were so sweet and wonderful.

Thank you for posting all of the details and each step of the process so far. You seem to be doing very well and quickly.
