WORTH IT$17,000
I carried my triplets to 35 weeks pregnant. My stomach afterward was a nightmare. I had layers of skin hanging on top of each other. I had to push my stomach layers down into my jeans and wear Spanx every day. I had an extreme hernia in my belly button that poked out far and looked horrible. My entire abdomen wall was ripped apart from top to bottom. I was so embarrassed even for my husband to see. I saved my money for 5 years, and I could finally get surgery. Dr Spies repaired my extreme hernia, sewed my abdomen back together from top to bottom, and cut out several pounds of hanging skin. My incision was from the backside of one hip all the way across my stomach to the backside of my other hip. I also got breast augmentation because I'd never had before. Dr Spies knew the perfect meds to give me, and I was able to heal with little pain. I was so nervous about the recovery, but I just had to take my meds and rest to recover. I was actually off my pain meds after only 1 week. I had no pain after that. I was just sensitive, and had to relax. I had a lot of swelling, but I stayed down for 5 weeks trying to take it super easy. After 6 weeks the swelling was almost completely gone. It took about 4 months until the swelling was completely gone. I felt beautiful! I looked in the mirror after my shower and thought wow! I look sexy! After years of hiding behind my towel in front of my husband, I felt sexy and beautiful and confident in front of my husband. He loved it, and couldn't wait till I was recovered! I had a new confidence I'd never had before! I finally had boobs too! Thats something I'd never had my whole life. Dr Spies saved me! I was amazed by the job he was able to do. I can't believe he was able to perform such a miracle! I am so happy! I feel sexy! I am confident! I love it! On a scale of 1 to 10 Dr. Spies made me a 12! Thank you for doing an outstanding job and making me beautiful, Dr. Spies!

You look fabulous! Well done and congratulations on carrying 3 healthy babies!
Thank you so much! I feel fabulous too thanks to Dr. Spies! He is truly amazing!

Thank you so much for sharing your story with this community. Not only do you look amazing, you sound so confident and happy, good for you! 

I am a twin mom and I can't imagine triplets, you rock. Can I ask how old your kids are now and how you managed post-op recovery? Please tell me you had lots of help!

My triplets are 6 now, but when I had my surgery they were 5. I waited till the first day of kindergarten to have my surgery. My husband helped a ton, and people from church brought meals. It was hard to discipline the kids from a chair, but it all worked out. I also have two more boys. They helped a little bit. Thanks for your comment!

I'm really happy for you (and bowing down to a mom of 5 kids, LOL). Thanks again for sharing with the community.

Congratulations! You look awesome! Got to love yourself , so you can love those babies!
Thank you so much! I am much more confident. The triplets are a ton of fun! I feel like such a better person with my new body! My husband sure does love it too!
Stunning- super Mom looking super duper good!! not GREAT!
Awe, thank you so much! I can really feel the love! It feels so good to hear all these wonderful comments! Thank you so much!
Wow... You look amazing. I am 5 days post op. Can't wait to fast forward to all healed up, no swelling, happy with final results, do exercise and more than anything able to look after my children and home again x
It will get better! Stay positive! I thought my stomach swelling would never go down, but it did! It just took long for all the swelling to go down. Are you taking the Bromelain and Arnica? That helped me. I was so excited to be able to work out again, but I didn't till 4 months after surgery. It just took that long to heal enough for a workout. And I didn't do any ab workouts till 6 months because of my extensive stomach repair with my abs and hernia. I felt so much more in shape after surgery too because I didn't have all those layers of hanging skin. I am great now!
