I had a "Mommy Makeover" last May. Full tummy tuck, breast lift with implants. I could not be happier with it.

To the OP, I actually turn 40 in May of 2013 too! This is my first post here. I lost 60 pounds 3 yrs ago but have gained almost all of it back. Starting again. I swear, keeping weight off is harder than losing it!
