I'm not one to usually post on any sites, I'm usually just the reader picking up information wherever I can, but I figured with all my fears and insecurities maybe I can tell my story from the beginning and take you along through my journey. I am 32 years old I have had 3 pregnancies but I am a mother to 4 beautiful children. I am 5' 2" tall and I currently weigh 145 lbs. I have been wanting a breast augmentation for a very long time but I always knew I wanted more children and to be honest I was and still am very afraid of surgery, not the surgery itself but the recovery time and pain! the tummy tuck didn't really pop up in my head till maybe 3 years ago (after I had my last baby) I've tried loosing weight but honestly my stomach will just never go back to normal with exercise alone. Both my husband and I have talked about a "mommy makeover" for a very long time and I've finally built up the courage to just go for it! I have my first consultation tomorrow with Dr Dennis Bucko (la Jolla) and another consult the following day with Dr Vincent Marin (La Jolla) and I'm nervous about that for some reason. I will try to build up the courage to show you guys pictures as I go, but for now I will keep you guys updated on my consults and how they went :)

I am on that exact same boat: 32, 3 pregnancies (c-sections), 5'2", 130 lbs, and I need things put back together! Lol I exercise six days a week because I love it, but it won't get rid of excess skin! When do u hope to get the mommy makeover?

Recovery was not bad at all. Easier with the first two, the last I felt took a little longer because I had my tubes tied and a two and four year old to care for! The first 3 days in the hospital were the worst, and they encourage u to walk around (which actually was good to move around). I'd say with the meds they prescribed for pain, i took them religiously for the first week after the c sections, then after that it was as needed. I read that the TT is comparable w pain, but of course a more spread out area. My concerns (which I'll get over quick) is being hunched over the first few days (id imagine that'd hurt your back!), and the drains

I completely understand that's another pain to deal with!!! And the drains oh gosh! I can't even see them in pictures yet alone on me!

Ok.. so I've gone to 2 consultations, one yesterday and one today. I think I found "the dr" for me! Yay! Both Drs are great and both agreed on the best procedures for me (breast lift, breast aug, tummy tuck with lipo) the dr I saw today just made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease. I've read so many reviews where people say "I just knew he/she would be the dr to perform my surgery" and thats exactly how I felt today. I didn't even have to wait to leave the office I knew right there and then that he was "the dr" haha! I will continue to do my best and keep you guys updated every step of the way... :)

As you guys read on my previous post I found the perfect dr for me, and today I called to schedule my appointment which will be on February 26th 2016! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time! I need advice from you guys what should I be getting together to prepare my self for surgery? Any suggestions? Anything that helped any of you ladies to facilitate the recovery time? And here are some pics my goal is to hopefully loose 10lbs before surgery let's see if I reach that goal
