WORTH IT$5,300

I live in Tampa, FL. I am 27 Years old and I have a 4 year old child. I am 5'1'' and before I had a child my weight was always inbetween 130-140. After giving birth I weighed 185. I broke up with my baby daddy and lost a lot of weight from diet and exercise and weighed 125. I then got into a very happy relationship and ended up loosing track of my exercise routine and gained 40 pounds :( I have lost some weight and I am currently 159 lbs.

After giving birth, my belly has never been the same. It hangs down and is wrinkly and it has really put a turn on my self esteem. It almost keeps me from being motivated because there is nothing that I can do about it. I will post pics soon of how my belly looks. I also want to get implants. When I loose weight, my boobs get a lot smaller. Which is kinda discouraging, I'm not for sure if I will go through with the implants, I am going to see what my PS says about it. I will post more when I have time.

Today I had my consultation with dr. Rieger. I did have to wait longer than expected to be seen, but it was worth it. Th dr was extremely well mannereed and seemed very sincere in his words. I felt extremely nervous and he made me feel comfortable. He took his time explaining everything to me. I am going to another consultation tomorrow just to get a 2nd opinion, but I am pretty sure I am going to stick with this dr. Unfortunately I will not be able to get the both procedures done at once like I had hoped. And it is only so I'm not drowni g myself in too much payments. So I am going to get my tummy tuck first and get implants when the tummy tuck is paid off. I am so excited I will post my surgery date this week. I'm hoping to do it during the 1st week ofNovember!!

Today I had another consultation with a different dr. I've decided to stick with dr rieger. I knew it all along, but wanted to remain open minded. The quotes were much more expensive and there were other reasons regarding the dr knowledge and just not feeling like he cared very much. But I am still very excited and nervous. Today I pretty much scoped out my school homework and tests for the next 2 months and I've decided that I'm going to try to make my surgery date alone the lines of october 21 ish. I'm just afraid of how I'm going to be able to take cate of my daughter and 2 stepkids. And sstill manage to get my schoolwok done. I dont like the thought of missing any school but it looks like I am going to have to miss 1 or 2 days. Tomorrow I hope on setting a surgery date!!! Ill keep u posted!!

I've very excited for you! Thanks for starting your story here on RealSelf.

(Don't beat yourself up about the weight gain. It's so easy to lose weight when you're going through emotional turmoil and so hard when you're in a good place. Weird, but true!)
