Hi! I wanted to share my story here in hopes it helps even one person. I’ve shared bits on TikTok, I’m moving to LTK, and maybe one day I’ll have the courage to share on Instagram too. I love and am so thankful for my body. After two babies and breastfeeding, I’ve worked hard to get strong again and really do love where I’m at. But there were things I couldn’t change on my own—like stretched muscles, a permanent pooch, and stretch marks. I went back and forth on this for over a year, processing and really thinking it through. I even scheduled surgery for May, canceled it, and thought I was done. But with the encouragement of friends who had gone through this, I decided to move forward and had surgery on August 20th. Finding the right surgeon changed everything. He’s an artist in his craft, and I credit my whole recovery and experience to him and his team. I’m beyond grateful. His consults book out months ahead, but if you’re even considering this, I’d recommend getting on his schedule. Dr. Steven Vath at the Center of Cosmetic surgery in Golden, CO. I never thought I’d go through with something like this, but I’m sharing my journey in case it helps you in yours. LTKActive LTKHome
