33yrs Old, Mother of Three(14,9,2)-TTw/lipo of Tummy,and Flanks,MR,BL Finally Did Something for Me!!! - San Rafael, CA

Unfortunately, by the time I had discovered this site I hadn't felt as I comfortable as I do today, so you won't see any post ops of my body, but I was not by any means a small lady. I have had three kids and one alone takes it's toll.
With my first pregnancy I had gained 100lbs(literally ate for two, or three lol) I, however, managed to lose it in one year and went back down to 120lbs.
With my second pregnancy I gained 28 lbs, and lost it all after a year, but never regained elasticity. I was left with uneven breasts and a saggy midsection. Although , I looked amazing with clothes on, I felt like a let down naked. I no longer felt like the wife I was previously, and our sex life was compromised because of it. I felt like my sexy husband was stuck with a reflection of what once was his beautiful wife.
Finally , with my last pregnancy I gained 40lbs, and managed to lose some of it, but gained it all back with the stress of work,school, and motherhood. Again, I was left with a saggy impression of what I once was, but this time I was 30lbs from my goal weight :( Now , believe me when I say I tried to lose it. I worked out five to six days a week, spin 4x a week, and jogged 4miles a week. I also ate like a rabbit for a year juicing, salads, other diet fads...etc
I felt lost and often wondered if my very handsome husband would ever cheat. He did everything to make me happy, thousands of dollars spent on jewelry,exercise equipment, clothes, and gym memberships,but I was not happy with myself.
Recently, I decided that what I really needed was to find myself again, so I could be the best wife and mother I could be, so I changed my career path and decided I needed a mommy makeover!! Mind you, I did not start my journey off small, but I was strong and active. Prior to my surgery I weighed 165lbs., but today two weeks post I look and feel like 115lbs! I don't know what my surgeon did to me(magical medical hands) he is amazing!!!!!! I couldn't be happier , now given I am only 15 days post op and still have one drain, I couldn't be happier. My belly looks amazing, my belly button is small, and my stomach has definition!! My breasts are small, but perky and symmetrical. If I ever choose to have an augmentation I will definitely go to him.
My surgeon has had an amazing educational background and has amazing credentials. The staff made me cry, they were amazing.
I shopped around for a while and researched forever , however, if anything went wrong I wanted to have an emergency room and specialists within seconds of me, so I chose Kaiser Plastic Surgery. I knew with their reputation they would only contract some of the best doctors and staff. Which they had, the nurses were amazing and even sent me a get well card. I am glad I went with them. Money well spent:) Plus, as a hospital they proceed carefully and feel that patient satisfaction is crucial to everyday business. My surgeon knew exactly what I wanted, and I have yet to feel disappointed.

Sorry, I was up late writing my review and really uncomfortable with my drain tubes, so I took one of my pain killers and noticed I had a typo above. I don't have any pre-op pics of myself naked because it just wasn't worth taking a picture of, but now I wish I had so all you real selfies could see and cry with me:(( however, I will post pics of post op soon!!! Happy Friday!!!

Okay, so I must be honest for a second, the Moringa Oleifera seeds are a must when healing. I bought these on eBay and I just blend them into my veggie/fruit shakes I drink 3x a day. They build you up with energy and make you feel healthy, plus it's so good for you!!!! Zinc, helps in the healing and repairing of your tissue, helps eliminate acne, and fades scares. Stem Alive is Bovine Colostrum, helps promote stem cell function. Now, I still have a drain, so I haven't started repairing my scars at the moment, but I will begin to repair them as soon as all of my bandages are off. I will make an appointment to have my drain removed hopefully, by not this coming up Tuesday, but the following Tuesday as I am still releasing about 80cc of fluid in a 24 hour period. Kaiser, would like to see below 30cc in a 24 hour period, with two consecutive days. I got a refill on my sleeping pills and on my oxycodine, since I started to lose some of the numbness in my stomach and now feel the drains wiggling around my stomach whenever I move. This really gets uncomfortable when I lay flat on my back to go to sleep , so the sleeping pills help when I sleep at night. Anyway ladies/gents hope you are all enjoying yourselves today on this beautiful Saturday. I'm about to watch a movie with my hubby , so happy healing!!!!
