Leah Blog: Introduction
December 8th, 2009
Hi, I’m Leah and I have always been in good shape. I like to walk and eat healthy (most of the time), so I have always had a body that I felt comfortable in. That was until I had my first child. I gained 60 pounds during the pregnancy and only lost 40 of those pounds during the first year. It was such a struggle for me because I knew that I wanted four children, but I didn’t want to gain any more weight. So I worked very hard to keep my weight down were I liked it. After my fourth child, I vowed to take all my extra weight off. After a year, I had lost any pregnancy weight, plus an extra 10 pounds!! I was so excited to have the weight gone, but I was upset when I saw what my stomach looked like. I had extra skin that looked liked an extra “buttâ€. My pants fit, but the skin hug over the pants. UGLY. I had worked out, gained muscle, but I couldn’t really do anything to loose the extra skin.
My husband has always been supportive of me. He knows that when I look good, I feel good. He also knows how hard I have worked to get this body back into shape! We talked about the fact that I need to focus on myself every once and a while, not only our four children but, I love those kids SO MUCH and I don’t want to take time out to worry about myself. I don’t want to take any time away from them, but then when do I have time to think about myself????? We decided to get a consultation and see what a tummy tuck entails. If it is too much to deal with, if it is too much money, I can forget about it. BUT, if it is something manageable and something I can handle…
OK, I am going for it. I am at my skinniest and I want to reward myself for all this hard work. I decided to get a cosmetic surgery consultation.
Please check back to read about my consultation for a abdominoplasty or more commonly referred to as a tummy tuck.
Vegas Angel: What a Blast!
December 4th, 2009
Hey Vegas Friends, It is Angel Here Reporting!
The days we spent in Vegas were unforgettable! I am still recovering. I have never had so much fun and so little sleep! This was an experience of a lifetime! I met so many great people, but I was really surprised to find out how many people wanted to actually hear about my surgery. It was interesting to share my surgery stories with them. I did not really know what to expect when I arrived, but I had an awesome time. I was told it would be crazy and it definitely lived up to that.
Being on the stage for the contest was great and meeting all the KQRS team was so fun! We had a blast backstage hanging out with Brad Blanks before being introduced to the audience. Everyone from the radio station was so friendly. I would love to do this again!
I am so happy that I decided to have plastic surgery, because it makes all the difference in how I fee about myself. To look and feel great, is such an important part of my life. A big thank you goes to Dr. Bashioum and Sandy, for allowing me to be a part of this cool experience.
KQRS has always been part of my wake-up routine and now being a part of the biggest show of the year is so great! To all the Vegas Virgins or Not: I LOVE YOU GIRLS!!! Until we meet again!
