I am 36 y/o with three children. I started having my children very young in life, I would never recommend it to anyone but I'm glad I did. I have three boys 19, 18, and 11. After my first son my body bounced right back, I'm sure it's because I was so young. After my second son I was smaller than I was before I got pregnant. Then all heck broke lose with my third son. Three years ago my weight was up to 163 mind you I'm only 5'2. I lost 43 lbs and have been able to keep it off.

After the three babies my breasts are not where they should be, and I have that ever nagging pouch in the tummy area. It doesn't matter how hard I workout I can't get rid of it.

I decided to give myself a present and get a Mommy Makeover. After doing all the research I decided on a doctor. During the consultation he agreed my breasts are not where they should be and that I only need a mini tummy tuck. So.... my mommy makeover will consist of a breast lift with no implant, lipo on the inter and outer thighs, a mini tummy tuck with lipo and muscle tightening. I go in on 2/21/11, just three weeks away.

I'm excided but a little nervous at the same time. My Mom will be taking me to the surgery and offered to let me recoup at her house since I'm a single mom. Can anyone tell me what to expect and what I may need to plan for?

Thanks!!!!!

I just took all my stuff to my Mom's house since I will be there for the first week. My dogs are being picked up tomorrow and I've been cleaning the house and doing laundry like crazy.

I'm so excited for Monday. I have picked up all my meds and have my pre-op tomorrow.

I'm there with you sister!!! I haven't been sleeping cuz I'm so ready. I was told today that I'm the first patient as well, my surgery has been moved up to 9:30 a.m. I met with the PS today at my pre-op and felt even more ready after meeting with him. I so can't wait. I will be online as soon as I feel up to it to update everyone. Make sure you update too!!! Good luck girl!!!!

Thank you so much. I've worked real hard and thats as good as I could get, I still have a lot of pouch left that is hard to see in the pics. My PS took lots of pics that I will get so I will post some of them as I'm sure they are better than the ones I posted.

Thanks again!!!!
