Hi!
I am a 36 yr old mother of two (4 and 6 yr old). I have never had a flat stomach and gaining 70 lbs with my pregnancies didn't help - my fault totally, well like 80% my fault and 20% Cheesecake Factory. Anyways I started running and exercising and have lost the weight but gained a lot of skin and stubborn belly fat. I am currently 5'6" and 166 lbs. I exercise like a fiend but it isn't budging.
I saw Dr. Davis in March and the whole way there I was like 'this is crazy, I can't believe I am going in'. My sister had breast augmentation this past December (she lives in another state) and I couldn't believe it - real people have plastic surgery? Her small chest always bothered her and now she fixed it. For the next 3 months I thought about what it would feel like to fix my stomach.
I am now scheduled for June 21st. Wish me luck and feel free to share any advice.

Ok - I have taken several before pictures (and then deleted and took them again). My 4 yr old caught me in the bathroom taking pictures in my underwear and was very confused (as just last week I she was in trouble at daycare for showing her underwear...repeatedly despite several crucial conversations from the teacher). I just know she'll publicize this soon at an inappropriate moment.

Hi Jo! You are going to look so amazing and be soooo happy you did this! The wait truly is the hardest part. Once you have the surgery the time seems to go by so much quicker! I laughed at you comment about your 4yr old soon to publicize info. I wonder what she will think about the drains! My sons are teens and the just pretended like they didnt see that!

Thank you! I am less than 7 wks away but am on a list in case someone cancels. I'll make sure to post my daughter's reaction - she has a great perspective.
May 5, 2013
Wow! Can you imagine if somebody cancels THIS WEEK!? Would you freak out or what?
May 4, 2013
I think your gonna have dramatically awesome results! I've seen some before pics and thought I hope my after pics are as good as her before pics, LOL, but seriously! I am so happy for you....and hope you get that "someone cancelled" call soon so you can start your recovery sooner!!

4 weeks to go and my body is breaking down.
I am so excited! It's getting closer now. Last week I had a terrible cold and this week I have pulled my back out. Hopefully I can shake all this and not encounter anything else!

My mom will stay with me for 2 weeks and my husband is great! The only problem is that my mom is an awesome cook - better than Paula Deen. I told her she has to make me healthy stuff - hubby not excited about that.

Getting closer! It will sneak up on you before you know it ;) I bought some 1000 mg vitamin C and took those every day plus a multi-vitamin for like a month before my surgery lol I was so afraid of getting sick and having to put it off. I hope you are feeling better now. Drink lots of water and relax, don't put too much stress on yourself thinking about it! So excited for you! (:
