Twin Mom Who is Confident in Her Own Skin

I’ve been waiting forever to feel the way I do when I look in the mirror. After having twins and then a third I was not sure that I could ever get my body back. I ate right, worked out and never got the results I craved. Several personal trainers and even physical therapists had told me I would never see the results I wanted due to the damage my body had incurred with my pregnancies. At 30 I had twins and at 5’2” my little body couldn’t hold them full term. I was 130lbs when I got pregnant and ballooned to 210lbs throughout the pregnancy. I suffered from pre-eclampsia and had the twins at 32 weeks after 3 weeks of hospital bed rest. After the trauma of delivery I had shingles and my body was never the same. 2.5 years later I had a third baby and my body ballooned again and I was never able to regain my pre-baby physic. I struggled with the weight loss, but was finally able to get healthy both physically and mentally to where I was ready to look on the outside how I felt on the inside. I started researching tummy tucks and had several consults in the area. Once I met with Dr. Baxter I knew that he was the right physician for me. He was my first consult and after having several others, I asked if I could come back for a repeat consult to ask more questions to make sure I had picked the right surgeon. He agreed and patiently answered all my questions. I scheduled my full tummy tuck and lipo for 6 months after my consult. I was healthy and not only physically prepared but mentally prepared to undergo the surgery. The staff was lovely, answering all my questions and being patient with me as I wanted to know everything and what to expect. The day before I was nervous but still excited for my procedure. Everything I had read prepared me to be down and in recovery for at least 6 weeks but the surgery was flawless. The first few days were tough, no need to sugar coat it, but I recovered well and am thrilled. I followed the post-op directions exactly as the office laid out and was able to see my three children in a school play one week later. It’s been 7 weeks since I’ve had surgery and I’m thankful everyday that I went to Dr. Baxter for this procedure. I feel beautiful. I can’t stop smiling and look on the outside how I feel on the inside. I cannot recommend Dr. Baxter and his staff enough for this procedure.

I’m 6 months post op and still so happy I had the procedures done. Here are my latest photos and I’m thrilled with my results!! I’ve been working out a good amount to make sure my results stick and I’m so excited to wear a bikini for the first time in 12 years this summer!!
