Full Tummy Tuck with Mr, Breast Lift Without Implants - Saint Peters, MO

I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and a breast lift without implants. I initially wanted implants but upon further research decided it was too much risk for me to take. I am a 36 yo sahm to 3 kids(3,5,7). I am 5'4 with my weight around 128-132, depending on the day. Clothes sizes generally 4-6, breast size approx 34 A or B. I wrecked my body through neglect and having 3 kids in 4 years. With the first 2 pregnancies, I gained 50 lbs. I lost track w number three, but remained around 210 lbs (size 18) through my children's first years. I breastfed exclusively taking my original A breasts to DD's. I finally got fed up with being fat and started committing myself to weightloss in Jan 2011. It's been a long hard fight to get back to this weight. I am fitter than I've been since my teens but was plagued with the excess belly fat/skin that did not respond to diet and exercise. My breasts were flat and pointed straight down making it hard to even find bras to fit correctly. I knew I needed this FOR ME, to stay motivated and feel comfortable in my own skin again. My skin has poor elasticity so I will never truly look the way I would like. I have no interest in going through multiple surgeries to try and obtain that. I am almost 2 weeks post op and am in a depressed state, not fully convinced it was worth it yet. Intellectually, I understand it will be a long healing process, but it's been a harder recovery than I anticipated. I was in good shape doing cardio 5-6 days a week and weights 3 days a week so I though I would not feel so bad. I had heard lots of talk on forums about it being an easier recovery than a c section and I think it was 20x harder than my 2. I know everyone is different in healing time. I'm sure it will be worth it as everyone else seems to conclude. I am immediately happy with my breasts however! They are small yes but the nipples are up where they used to be! :) The steri strips are still on so I am hoping the scars dont freak me out, but at least I can go bra less without looking like an 80 yo!
