3 month post op Yily Doll…to tha day!

Hello ladies, I am a 43yr old (almost 44 this summer) single mom of three young children (11,9,7). I have a full-time successful career and own a home in beautiful California. I have always been somewhat happy with my body EXCEPT my mid section. Never have had a small waste, never have been very big(fat), more athletic but, with broad sholders and big boobs with thin toned legs and a BELLY! Of course after the kids and age my belly now looks like i am 7mths preggers. Not stretched or saggy, very tight and just big all the way around. Not cool at all. when I lose weight my boobs and butt go first then my belly so still no curves...just a rectangle of a body. I am sure some of you ladies can relate.
All I want is a small waist, I don't need a huge ass but, I know I have enough fat to get one and with a small waist butts look bigger. Optical illusion. I am currently 5'7 175lbs. Measurements 41h-40w-43chest...very top heavy :-)
I don't intend to loose any weight before surgery but after, I will hit it hard.
Just want to say thanks to all you lovely ladies for sharing your stories and pics. It's very motivating and insperational.

One more thing, I am not interested in a TT at all. After my last child 7 yrs ago I did get two consults from local Drs and they both said to first loose weight, and then get a TT. I am so glad I didn't do it because now look at all the BBLs who look fantastic, I don't think I need a TT. Don't want that down time or that nasty scar. Anyway, good luck to all of you as well.
