Looking to Get a Mommy Makeover - Phoenix, AZ (Surgery done on 11/25/13)

I am a 30 year old mother of two children under the age of 3. We had back to back kids and both were delivered via c-section. We discovered I carry monster sized kids (9.5 lbs) in my 5'4" body, and after trying for over two days of labor I had to do a c-section. So when kid #2 came around the c-section fears were gone and it was planned. Well back to back kids this way has really affected my skins ability to bounce back. I was a former college athlete and workout often even now. I have lost around 50lbs after my being pregnant w/ my big babies & my biggest issues are that no matter what I do my skin won't seem to tighten any more than where I am currently at. I was able to build up my abs after the c-sections & have actual ab mucles again, but no one would know because they can't be seen under this loose skin that covers them! I also have lost size & fullness to my breasts. I was a small D cup prior to kids, got up to a DD during pregnancy and now after am down to a C cup. I would like to have my full, perky, boobs back. I am looking to go for my final consultation this Sat and to book my surgeries around Thanksgiving. Now that I have done my research & decided I have gotten as far as I could with diet & exercise, it is time to kick start the final things needed. I would like to keep my nutrition & exercise, and possibly move into fitness modeling in the future.

I am very excited, I have chosen my Dr. to go with and I am very excited since I feel like everything is falling in to place now. I had a consultation Sat and this doctor was able to answer all of my questions and priced everything so it is reasonable. I am the type of person who likes to have everything explained to them in full detail before I agree to do something and Dr. Robles went above and beyond in explaining his entire procedure and what I am to expect.

Here are some more before pictures to show what I would like to have fixed. Since have worked out so hard and can't get the skin to bounce back, I am ready to just have the excess skin removed so I can move forward and can wear what I want with out all the insecurities. Looking to get it done around Thanksgiving.

I continue to search daily on real self for other mommy makeovers. I think it continues to give me an idea of what to expect, both the good and the bad. I don't expect the bad to occur, but it is good to be aware of what can happen. I am still so optimistic and excited for the change. I fought for so long to just get my body to bounce back on it's own & once I realized that there are some things that no amount of exercise can fix, I made up my mind that surgery would be the best route. I am just so very ready to get back to the old me. I have at times felt guilty about getting this done and the many things this $ could be spent on instead, but decided that I tried long enough to avoid the surgery route. I worked my butt off to drop 50lbs from being preggo & I am ready to do something for me to get back to a place I was before. I am so anxious and excited & feel like this month until surgery is going to go slowly.
