So I went for my consultation on May 10th at North Valley Plastic Surgery. From the moment I sat down in the waiting area I got a sense of optimism. We discussed my primary area of concern which is my tummy plus the desire of breast augementation.
After the consult I continued to think about how comfortable I felt with Dr. Heffel and the staff. I've been putting off taking action for 3 years now due to time and finances but this time I made the decision to just do it. Time and money will always be a concern anyways.
I had my son 5 years ago. I gained 36 pounds during my pregnancy. I was able to lose quite a bit fairly quickly however not all of it. In the spring of 2008 I decided to make a lifestyle change and change my eating habits. I was able to reach my pre-prego weight in about 12 weeks. I have since maintained it and right now I'm about 10 pounds away from my ideal weight. I'm 5' and currently weigh 116 lbs. Although I feel a ton better in my clothes then 2 years ago I'm just not completely happy due to the excess skin under my belly button.
With the support of my hubby, both of my parents, and several dear friends, I have scheduled surgery for July 1st 2010. I have my pre-op appointment scheduled for 6/17. Please come back to visit as I document my journey.
