33 Years Old, Mommy to 3 Kids with 1 VERY Supportive Husband!! FINALLY doing something for me! :-)
After "stalking" this site and researching Mommy...
After "stalking" this site and researching Mommy Makeovers for about 2 years now, I'm SUPER excited to say that my dream of having my body back will be coming true on January 13, 2015!! I have 3 children (14- boy, 12- girl, and 6- boy) and have been married to my truly dedicated husband for 13 years! My husband has been super supportive and has encouraged me to push through with having this procedure done. I have always put everyone else first and felt horribly guilty for spending this money on myself when I should just be happy with what I have. I exercise atleast 5 days a week and eat very healthy and my weight is just not moving down like I hoped it would. In 2002 (on todays date, November 30th, to be exact.. haha) I gave birth to our daughter and had gained 40 pounds with her. A few months after giving birth I packed on another 20 pounds topping the scale at 210 pounds. Being 5'6", I was absolutely miserable and in 2006 I decided to put myself first and start working on losing some weight. I dropped down to 165 pounds! I felt AMAZING!
In October of 2007, I found out that I was pregnant and in June of 2008 I gave birth to our handsome son. I managed to keep my weight under control and weighed in at 184 pounds. After giving birth I once again lost focus of myself and my weight went out of control again! In 2010 I topped the scales at 250 pounds and was ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE! I decided that once again I needed to focus on myself and get myself together if I wanted to be around to see my kids grow up. I was able to lose weight and am now down to 195 pounds. The weight has not come off as easily as it did the first time. I am severely disappointed and embarrassed in how my body looks and NOTHING fits me right. After much encouragement from my husband we had a consultation with Dr. Polley in late October.
My husband and I immediately felt comfortable with him as he was very attentive with my needs and what we are hoping to accomplish. I don't have any desire to look like Barbie I just want my breasts to be a full perky C and my tummy to be shaped and flat. He informed me that my muscles in my stomach are separated so no amount of exercise would EVER get rid of my bulge that I have in my stomach area. I was so excited to hear that he was confident that he would be able to provide me with the look I am hoping to achieve which requires a full tummy tuck, Mastopexy (breast augmentation and lift), lipo of the flanks and inner thighs, and mons reduction. He is an OUTSTANDING doctor and would recommend him to ANYONE! I am so excited to have this surgery so I can finally feel confident with my body and maybe for the first time in my life wear a bathing suit. I am very blessed to have a husband that is so supportive and is willing to take care of me during this whole journey. He is excited to see the outcome as well and can't wait to have a "refurbished" wife. LOL!
