I've always had a bit of a tummy, but after two pregnancies back to back, what's left down there is a HOT MESS. I have jiggly fat and loose skin. I have a flap that hangs down. It's pretty bad, and it's left me super self conscious. I wear spanx every single day because I can't stand how my pants dig into my stomach. If I try to wear regular panties, my fat roll pushes them down-- it's so not cute. I cannot wait to get rid of the things that are bothering me!
I am getting lipo and a full TT, breast lift with fat transfer, lipo to inner thighs, and I'm also considering lipo to my upper arms as well. I seem to hang on to extra fat in my arms. My boobs were always my best feature- big and perky! But now in my mid thirties they've started to droop significantly. I figured it makes sense to get it all done at once! I am a 34DD so my dr. recommended a lift and a fat transfer because I already have a lot of breast tissue. I think this sounds like the right decision. With a lift and some extra volume at the top, maybe they will look like they did 10 years ago!
Like many other women on here, I have mixed feelings about all of it. I am super excited and CANNOT wait to get it done and feel good about myself again. But at the same time, I feel guilty and a little superficial. I mean, how can I tell my girls that beauty comes from within if I'm willing to endure all this pain and spend $$$$ to look better? I'm also very nervous about being put under- yikes! And the recovery process and pain are definitely scary to me too. My mom is going to come and take care of me for the week (my hubs can't take off work). So I'll have lots of good care and support :)
Dr. Kerr has so many amazing reviews- I feel confident in his abilities and I trust him! His office staff are all amazing. They are so kind and helpful.
My pre-op is next tuesday March 24. I am trying to lose a few lbs before my surgery date. I'll post before pics next week :)

You sound so much like me- although my breasts were NEVER my best feature- I carry weight in my tummy and arms and plan to have arm lipo a TT and a breast Aug(lift)- scheduled for the 23rd of April so I cannot wait to hear about your journey!

Good luck on your surgery! Do you have every thing you need...don't forget the stool softer w/laxative I started taking mine a couple days early and no problems in that dept. And beauty is within your girls will one day understand why you did what you did don't feel guilty for one second.
Good luck at your pre-op tomorrow! Here's a post about anesthesia that I find comforting and hopefully you will, too! Please keep us posted!
