I live in Illinois and am interested in having a mommy makeover! I am always excited when I see someone post that is from St. Louis! I still need to set up some consults to get started! Would you mind sharing what other Docs you went to for consults? I am wanting to go to Dr. Kofkoff for one, have you heard of or know anything about him. I have talked to a few women on here that have or are going to Dr. Prada, I think he is in the same practice as your PS. I have noticed that the prices for the mommy makeovers tend to be alot higher in the St. Louis area!! I hope you have a great outcome and recovery! Please keep posting so I can follow your journey. Take Care.

So sorry i just read your post. I actually live in IlL as well. Prada is in the same group. (Highest $$ in the area)!He is very good but i knew him as a resident and just preferred to see someone else. kofkoff is highly recommended. . I saw Boswell who I really liked. Nathan is another name I would suggest looking into. The price range is St. Louis is higher but I figured if I traveled i would end up,paying the same and not have first hand referrals. Keep me posted on your journey as well.

just cruising the real-self site, wondering if you are going ahead with the MM. I am about 6 1/2 weeks out. Starting to feel like my self a little more each couple of days and am SO HAPPY with the results. I can't wait to get to the gym. I think I finally LOOK like I have always FELT. As my boys say- classy, sassy and a little smart assy...lol and feeling kinda HOT....I would encourage you to not put it off. My husband said- I cant believe we spent so much money on other things, we could have done this 10 years ago. Dr. Lund did an amazing job. The lift and implants together are supposed to be one of the more difficult procedures and many doctors will not do them at the same time. His experience is what won me. Good luck and if you haven't done it yet....make that appointment- at least for the consults!! You deserve it :-)

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! I'm glad you're doing this for yourself. Yes, it's very normal to feel the gamut of emotions: nervous, excited, etc.

I hope you'll keep us posted throughout your journey!

Thursday is my big day... I'm feeling overwhelmed, nervous, and possible in denial of post op recovery since the only thing I have done is purchase meds...lol. My kids are 10 and 13 plus my dtr. In law is flying in to help for two weeks. The surgery is on my mind 24 7. I keep thinking of things like... I need to plant tomatoes, flowers, open the pool, put away winter clothes and check on summer supplies not to mention I'm chairing the eight grade dance Committee for May 18 th, find a sub for may bunko.... And the isn't goes on. But... Part of this journey is actually taking the time and doing something for myself right? Deep breath deep breath, it always works right?
