I'm a mother of 4 kids, ages 4,9,12,14. I breast fed all 4 of them until they were about 2 years old..I have been thinking about doing this before I had my fourth but struggled with the cost and spending that much on my body.. But now I'm done having children my husband is on board with me getting this done and I think it's about time I do something for me..My belly is stretched out, tons of stretch marks and my boobs hang and sag.. I have lost my baby weight and and I am at my ideal body shape and when I look in the mirror all I can think about how I wish my boobs didn't sag down to my belly and I wish my belly didn't stick out so much.. I look like I'm pregnant and have been asked if I was... Not a good feeling..my surgery is scheduled for November 1st.

Anyways, I hope writing this review and tracking my journey will help others make their decisions.

I look forward to following your journey. It's so important to do things for ourselves sometimes because ultimately when we are happy they will be too! You're so close... are you excited? I can only imagine how you're feeling. I'm practically going crazy and I have a few more weeks to go.

Hi, yes i have finally come to terms that it's my time now, I just worry so much about my kids all the time..I am beyond excited, I get jittery and then out of nowhere I get really nervous and and anxious. I have never been under anesthesia so that's going to be interesting. I trust my doctor in all but just the thought of going to sleep and then it feels like a minute later you are waking up? I bets it's a such a weird feeling.

Well whatever you were doing, you look pretty good. You even have and which is a plus. I know about the saggy skin and the, as I used to call it my prunes..ugh and that's just from one child. I think you deserve it. If it will make you feel more confident about yourself, HEY go for it.

This morning I woke up with the procedure on my mind, I guess I was dreaming and thinking about it all night in my sleep.. Going through scenarios and just trying to imagine how it's going to be like after the surgery, how my kids are going to react seeing me in pain and hoping my husband can handle them with grace lol! My sister will be helping out too the first 3 days to help my husband ease his load with the kids so he can focus on me.. And then my very good friend is taking the younger 2 ones over the weekend. I think I'm driving myself a little batty lol! I try to distract my mind but it doesn't work for long.. I just really hope it's a smooth recovery and if anything comes up, it's just minor.. Next I need to take time and get some clothes ready for post op.. I probably should have started this review weeks ago but oh well..

Have you had a surgery dream yet? I have had two as my date draws near (Nov 17) and in one dream I am awake and watching the ps cut my incision, it was so real! I woke up really freaked out. I will be thinking of you and following your recovery!

Hey! My surgery date is Nov. 17 as well! I haven't had a surgery dream yet but I feel like it's always on my mind; even when I'm asleep. i don't rest well when big things are happening and I only got 2 hours of sleep last night!

I know I am freaking myself out! Having these procedures is on my mind every hour of the day. It's like everything i do is centered around the surgery whether it's before, during or after. I can't wait for the surgery to be over so i can clear my head and get back to real life.
