Hi, My name is Misty I am a 28 year old mother of 3, my son is 7 and I have 2 daughter 5&3. I gained a ton of weight with each pregnancy. When I had my youngest I was just shy of 250lbs. Since then I have worked hard to get to 175lbs. I'm 5'8 and my goal is 150-160lbs. I had 3 C-sections all three had different incisions. I have the sexy apron look going on in the front.(the fat and extra skin that hangs over) I have some hanging saggy boobs also. So I will be having a nice new set of those as well. And a little lipo of the flanks and outer thigh. A total body contour transformation. I am super nervous about the surgery and the recovery but think it will be all worth it. I will post before pics 1 week prior to my surgery.

My surgery is being pushed back one day. My Doc. is going to be speaking at a conference. I think about having the surgery every day...I know I can handle the pain my biggest fear is not waking up. I have decided to stay at a hotel with my husband the 1st night after the surgery. Don't want to freak my kids out, and I have to see the Doc. the next day. My house is about 45 min away. I have my homework from the Doc. still, I have to go to a store and try on a non padded bra, with the 3 different sizes I like, and I have to do a procedure called "the dip" to determine the volume difference in my boob's, seeing as one is larger then the other...

Well I have had a crazy few weeks. My husband got a awesome opportunity to move up in his career, but we to relocate. I now live much closer to my surgeon, which is really nice.I had to push my surgery date back a week, so I can unpack, and organize our new home. I am so super excited to go to my pre op on Thursday next week, I think it will make this feel like its really happening. I am so excited!!!!! The amount of money it cost is sinking in for sure, I have never spent anything close to this on just myself. My husband is being really supportive about not making me fell guilty. Also I cant decide on what size implants to get. I have friends who went to big, ones who wish they went bigger.....so I cant decide!!!!????? I will definitely be checking out more of every ones stories on here to better help me prepare.

My coordinator suggested I go bigger, she did 400-450, but I want a more natural look. I decided on 375, my surgery is in 1 week! I keep second guessing myself though
