Hi everyone ! I just turned 40 & a mom of 3...
WORTH IT$11,050
Hi everyone ! I just turned 40 & a mom of 3 -(23,4&1) I lost 70 lbs about 8 yrs ago & kept it off after 2 more babies . So this is my gift to me! I have lots of lose flabby skin & diastasis recti. I eat right & workout
but it's not enough. I'm very excited & anxious to get this done ! But of course a little nervous!!! I have help after surgery with my kids , but Im hoping I will be able to care for them myself after 2 -3 weeks!?I feel very comfortable with my surgeon selection this time. In 2009 I had a breast lift with augmentation & went with a cheaper surgeon. I wasn't happy with my results , ended up with an infection / removal /replacement on the left side ! This time I went with the surgeon who I felt most comfortable with & got recommendations.

Negative comments??Anyone else deal with this?
So I have only told a few friends & family members about my upcoming surgery. Part of the reason is because I know some friends will not agree with my choice. And today I made the mistake of telling another friend & yup , she was not very supportive!! I think it's hard for people to understand unless they are in your shoes. I know I deserve this & will feel great when the scale & the mirror match!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! You are going to look great! I did have some negativity from some people and not as much support as I would have liked. I just stopped listening to other people and just told people I was having a "surgery" and I after that I was a lot better off. I hope you don't let anyone take away your happiness. You do deserve this!

I think that is why I don't want to tell any one. I just don't want to explain my choice when it is my decision. I really don't want to air my insecurities, and others can think I look fine till the cows come home. I still want it gone. I haven't found the chance to tell my 18yo daughter.. we all here understand an fully support you! You very much deserve this. You've earned the results.

No one understands unless they feel the same way. I'm am staying positive from here on out! I won't be sharing with anyone else until its over! This is about me & I deserve it! We all do:)

Not everyone agrees with our decisions we make. But it is ours! My DH was not happy with my decision where all my friends and other family member were very supportive. Now that the surgery is over and I am almost 7 mos po he is all smiles. Once your friends see how happy you are they will come around or maybe they just don't understand. Anyways that is their problem.

Thanks for the encouragement ! I know not everyone agrees with plastic surgery. But yes, it is our decision & I can't wait to see the new me!

My hubby was not supportive, but my friends were - thankfully. He just kept saying you don't need it and was freaked out, but agreed to me doing it. Just yesterday he tells me send me a pic showing your cute belly button. So glad I didn't listen to him. Do it for you. You matter and that's what counts!!!!!

I am very thankful for this website because we all are in the same boat. My friends, whom I've told are supportive. Some may say I don't NEED it. I know that. But I want it for a better me.

Yes, most of them say I don't need it. But I want it, I want to look & feel good about myself!
