I have a June 19 surgery date but I still haven't made up my mind if I really want to do this. I want a butt and a small waist but I'm not sure if it is going to be worth the time and money. I was Aldo told to lose 20 lbs and have yet to do it. I really need to tighten up and lose this weight. I'm 5'4. 214. I want to be somewhere around 190 at surgery.

Please update with your decision because I too want to have the TT & BBL done simultaneously. I am coming from out of town and 1) don't want to make to make two trips (plus it is cheaper with his package deal) and 2) would prefer to go through allllllll of the pain at once. However, I am very curious how one would recover if both their front and back are worked on.

Ok. I will post an update once I decide. Dr. J suggested I get a TT but I said no because I want to have atleast one more child. But at this point I am so sick of this gut I believe I am just going to go head and go for the TT. I already have two beautiful children. It's me time NOW!

I think you're not really ready mentally so that's why physically you haven't motivated yourself to do anything when it comes to the sx emotionally you want to make changes to yourself but deep down inside you're truly happy and comfortable with what you look like thats why you're not going bananas in time if and when you're ready to enhance what you have everything will go smoothly for you!!!

Do it girl!! It's time to do something for YOU!! My surgery is scheduled for June 12th. Hurry and make a decision so you won't lose all the money you already put down. After a certain period before surgery, you can't cancel without losing the money. Good luck!!

My date is getting closer and I am still playing with this weight loss. These pics were taken in January. I have been doing a fitness boot camp since the beginning of march but I have still been struggling with my diet. People say they see a change but the scale has not moved. I believe I am losing weight but gaining muscle. I will take more pics and measurements the week of my surgery. Until then I will be going to boot camp three times a week and walking two miles 6 times a week. My diet will consist of a herbalife shake for breakfast and dinner. Healthy lunch and snacks. Also my iron is in the single digits. My doctor has put me on iron supplements twice a day. Hopefully my hemoglobin levels will be higher by June 19.

You can and will be able to loose the weight that's need for sx on the other hand you sound like me when it comes to the scale but your weight consist of a combination of things not just fat are your clothes fitting different our eyes are our worst enemy we always the last to see change in ourselves we always see the imperfections I've had my sx I've lost weight but still I see this fat girl smh I know she's gone and the same goes for you stick to your exercise and diet regiment ITS WORKING people around you noticing it STICK TO IT even after your sx... Idk if you're still considering doing a tummy tuck I say to enhance your results go for it u know we are all different but honestly it's not as bad as you think!!!! Go GO GO GO!!!!! ; )
