I'm 36 yrs., 5ft, 150 lbs mother of 4. (3 boys 18,12,11 and 1 girl age 2.) I have been thinking about having this procedure since my daughter was born. So excited I have finally made the decision to do so. I've enjoyed reading many of your posts the last few weeks.
Well I went to my pre-op today. I was a little disappointed to find out I may not get the big round high fake look I want for my BA. They said when you get a high lift and implants at the same you can't go too big about 300cc and that if you want that look you have to get the lift first than the implants in a separate surgery. I already had my mind made up for a mommy makeover. As we continued to discuss our options the Dr decided on a lollypop semi lift with 400cc saline overfilled to 480cc. Sure hope this will get me close to the look I want. I'm also getting lipo and tt. I wish I could have lost more weight before surgery but just ready to do it and hoping this will get me past my plateau. So nervous I may have a little too much belly fat to get as good of results as I would like but anything will be an improvement. I decided on this PS after only 2 consultations his being the first. There were some big differences in the 2 but will expound on that later as I have tried to post on here twice today and both did not go through. I'm just very excited and nervous tonight to know that this is no longer a thought but that I'm actually going though with it as I have paid in full now. So much is running through my mind.. How will I look, Pain level, will I have enough help, will I have any complications, etc. I feel like I'm getting in nesting mode like before your baby is born. Trying to get my house in order, doing extra cleaning, organizing. Mostly excited now but I know as the days draw near I'll be more and more nervous. I'll try to post my before pics tomorrow :)

On my fourth day and finally took a good look at my body with the corset and bandages off, not bad, not bad at all. I am moving around pretty good enough to make my own breakfast and walked back and forth from my front door to the backyard gate a few times, I am also now down to only 2 pain relievers a day but still need the Soma. My next big milestone is just to go poo. haha, funny never thought I would be thinking of that. Everydopuay seems to be better and better, I only had one day and only for a few hrs that I was in complete misery. So you'll do great. Its totally worth it.

I had put some weight on before my MM and am now 2 week PO, (stopped smoking for the surgery so gained 10lb+) I wanted to be much slimmer before surgery but hayho!
Anyway all I can say is don't worry your shape looks a bit like mine pre op and now I am sooooo happy with results, it will probably take us a while to get rid of those extra pounds because wecan't excersice for a while post op.
But either way it's so worth having done!
Best of luck can't wait to see your after pics :) x
