WORTH IT$14,500
I had my twins at the age of 17, I went from barely hundred pounds to 190lbs. It really stretched my body everywhere. I've always been very insecure about my stomach. I now have five kids and there all starting to get bigger I feel ready to do something for me that would make me feel sexy again for myself and for my husband. Even though he says he loves me the way I am, I also know he will enjoy the new girls once they are in.... I'm having a tummy tuck and great aguementation. I'm feeling super scared and excited all at once.

Whenever I doubt - 26 days pre op
Every time I doubt doing this I have to remind myself why I decided to do this to begin with. I attached pictures of me in a two piece swim suit my sister in law gave me this two years ago because it didn't fit her ( I don't know why I kept it or took it to begin with) with my clothes on I like my body but when the clothes come off my stomach bothers me sooooo much. I don't know if after the surgery I will feel comfortable wearing a two piece in public but it would feel amazing just to feel comfortable in the bedroom again. I really hate when I feel it hanging I'm always keeping him from touching it.

Can't wait for you to try it on again after the surgery!!! ;-) did you decide how many cc's? we are going into this together!

I've been debating. I remember telling the doctor I didn't want it to be noticeable. I go to church and am really involved. I'm on the worship team and on the stage every Sunday. I wonder if people will judge me or consider this being vain. So with that said I originally wanted them small I chose 350cc so I have the fullness but not too much that the first thing every one notices is I had a boob job. How about you? Also did you pick Saline or Silicone? Under muscle or over ?

I am also debating on size, I am thinking 400cc. It seems that a lot of people regret not going bigger. I am chose silicone under the muscle, moderate plus profile.

Yes I noticed that some ladies wished they had gone bigger. When is your pre-op appointment? How old are your kids now?

My daughter is 13. Ny pre-op is not until 1 week before surgery. did you buy your supplies already? I haven't. I did buy a power lift recliner debating whether to buy a raised toilet seat and a walker

No I'm so behind !!! I'm hoping the pre-op will make this more real to me. I'm definitely getting the raised toilet seat, not the walker because the bathroom is five steps from my bed, and I want to pic up a shower stool I've noticed those are helpful. My birthday is the third and that's the same day of my pre-op I've asked the hubby to take me shopping for all my recovery items!

I gained like 8lbs the week of thanksgiving and couple weeks before, think some was water weight from pms. But buckled down and got back to my normal weight. I don't like sweets but I was really craving them, maybe the stress or anxiety of the up coming surgery.
