I'm 37 and I have two boys, 14 and 9. They were both big babies, 9lb 14oz and 8lb 11oz. Before getting pregnant with my youngest I weighed in at 210 at 5'5". When he was a little over a year old I decided I needed to get healthy and in Jan 2009 I started my weight loss journey. I got down to about 145lb. After a year or so of keeping the weight off I had a breast lift and augmentation. One of the best things I've ever done for myself. Dr. Ben Kirbo did that surgery. So here we are several years later and I'm contemplating a tummy tuck. I've done the research, I think I know what to expect; however, I'm scared of the recovery, and the anesthesia (it makes me very ill). I will post some before pics as soon as I can & what my ultimate decision is!

I had a BR 7 1/2 weeks ago and am recovering well from it. I have scheduled a TT for Oct. 25. I would have the BR again - one of the best decisions ever in my life. I'm looking forward to having the same feeling about my TT. I'm not really scared of the surgery or the recovery, but expect to have pain afterwards. I have read numerous stories of others who have had both surgeries, and they are so encouraging that it has calmed any fears I may have had. If you read through the stories on this site, it may help you too. Good luck with your decision!

Congratulations on making the decision to do this for yourself.  This is one of the best things I ever did.  Feels good to be rid of the extra skin.  Please let us know how everything goes.

So I went for another consult this week, this time to see what my surgeon thought about a breast augmentation revision. Now I a addition to my extended tummy tuck, I will be going up a cup size! I currently have 325cc and 350cc mentor silicone and I will most likely be going to 425 and 450 mentor high profile! Both surgeries will be done on 12/13! Super excited and nervous!

Before Pics

So I hadn't uploaded my before pics and honestly I think these are terrible! Any way. Just over a month to go. I'm nervous, excited, scared....what a crazy mix of emotions. My biggest fear is the nausea and vomiting that always accompanies anesthesia with me. I have had general anesthesia 6 times & I have thrown up every single time. Doesn't matter if I get phenergan or zofran. I vaguely remember what it felt like (throwing up) after my mastopexy and I can only imagine what it will feel like when my abs have been operated on! Anyway enough of my thoughts for now. Here are some before pics!
