Hello! I'm a youngin' scheduled to get my procedure done Wednesday, August 20th. After going through heck and back with Star Plastic Surgery (didn't hold my surgery date and tried to push my date back further) I am going with a new surgeon to get the body of my dreams. I know some of you are probably reading this thinking why in the heck is a 20 yr old getting a cosmetic procedure done. Let me start off by saying I NEVER had a nice body. My mom fed me a little too good and by the time I was in 6th grade I was over 160lbs. Prior to my pregnancy I was 195. During I shot up to 234lbs and I am only 5'0. I had my twins in February. Since then I have dropped under my pre-pregnancy weight and stabilized at 183. I have tried everything to lose more weight, but my body just won't let go. So I decided if I am stuck at this weight I'd rather be comfortable in my own body. About 2 weeks ago my husband and I got into an altercation. As he stood over top of me he kept calling me a fat bit*h. I cannot look in the mirror without crying. I feel like I am in my 20s I should enjoy life. I was financed for my surgery and I have my consultation tomorrow with my new surgeon. I will be having an extended tummy tuck, with lipo, breast ilft, and breast augmentation. By the time this is done with, I want to be comfortable with the woman I see in the mirror and wear a bikini for the very first time and above all make my husband stick his foot in his mouth. Wish me luck!

Star will be performing my surgery this Monday

I contacted star to see if they could do anything since they already took out $500. They squeezed me in on monday. I will not be having the breast augmentation (I'm a full D) so for now extended tummy tuck, with lipo, and breast lift is the plan. My surgery will be a little over $12,000.

You're so brave for sharing your story, and I respect your honesty. I can't wait to hear about your transformation. Keep your head up!

You are beautiful- I'm sorry your husband thinks it is okay to say something like that to a mother who carried his children. Hang in there-

Sweetheart, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks...MI know what, it's like to be 200lbs (not pregnant & I know what it's like to be 130lbs). Being, comfortable in your own skin is important! How old are your twins & do you have someone who can help you take care of them while you recover?
I hope that you can make peace with the body u have now & the body you'll have during & after surgery.... I'm glad you're able to share your story & I wish you the best of luck, my thoughts & prayers are with you as you prepare for your procedures!! I look forward to seeing your transformation :)

a bundle of nerves
JMadden94August 16, 2014
Today I filled my scripts for Valium, percocet, and stool softener. I am getting so incredibly nervous that I will not like my results :/. I am ready for Monday to be over with. August 31 is my husband and I's anniversary. He has never seen me naked due to me hating my body. I just want to stand in front of him and him eat his words for calling me fat. I want to feel beautiful. Hopefully this will all be worth it.

I want to encourage u to for the first time really try to embrace your body... maybe make a list of the way your body works; it created, carried & birthed 2 amazing children. You can use your legs, they're strong, they carry u & help you be able to walk everyday, you heart it pumps blood through your body, your eyes they allow u to see...... I think u understand what I'm saying.
I know u said you've never liked your physical appearance(I never really liked the way my breast looked, until rt before I got pregnant & pregnancy destroyed my breast, but I was able to breastfeed my child); you're going to be going through some major changes; at first you might look like the bride of Frankenstein, you might have tubes, you'll have bruises, you're not going to see what u are really going to look like for months.
Take your own before pics of your areas that you're having operated on, that way u can compare your own pictures to the changes you're going to exsperience each day or week.
I think we all have fears of what am I going to look like after surgery (especially if we don't like what we look like before & I think we all have these normal feelings or we wouldn't of had our surgeries).I know I felt scared about how I would look!!
Because I had severe ptosis, I can't compare myself to woman who only needed minor changes like implants. It's difficult because we are bombarded with images of perfection rather it's on the Internet, TV or magazines.
I have one breast that is headed to my armpit & isn't as pretty as the other one. But when I looked at my before pics, that breast had the worse level of ptosis & it's a smaller breast.
I wish u all of the best & pray u have fabulous results! I hope my words have been encouraging & that you're able to see the wonderful things your body is capable of, despite the way it looks! You have more worth than u know, you're Beautiful inside & outside( I know that can be hard to except). I look forward to seeing how your journey progresses :) it's almost here & I hope u get the body of your dreams!

Bella Besos,
I agree JMadden94 is a Beautiful young woman!! I don't understand why your husband doesn't she how beautiful you're, your going to have such a flat stomach & beautiful curves! I know his Jaw will drop at how gorgeous you're going to be. My cousin had a TT & her breasts lifted....she looks fabulous in a swimsuit even a 2 piece! You've got this JMadden94!! I'm so excited for your transformation & look forward to seeing how you change with each passing day week month & by 1 year you won't even look like you've have twins! Do you have any Arnica Montana? It's an herbal supplement that helps with bruising, swelling & inflammation. If you look at my day 3 pic & see how bruised my breasts were, it made a big difference in my recovery. ☺
