I'd like to dedicate this book to all moms. We sacrifice our bodies when we have children, but we all know it's worth it. Motherhood is the greatest. I love being a mom and I'm sure you do as well. But we give up so much. Don't forget to take care of yourself once in awhile too. You deserve it.
I'd like to thank my friends and family who supported me through my journey. I have the best support group ever! You're encouragement and love gave me the courage to have the surgery, and you kept me going when I wasn't sure that blogging about it was always the best idea. I won't name you one at a time, but you know who you are. And my readers will soon come to know you too, thanks to your amazing comments that you so generously shared on my blog.
Mom, thank you for always supporting my decisions and being by my side. You taught me to be the woman I have become and I am so blessed to have you as my mom and my friend. I love you.
Tanner and Zoey, this Mommy Makeover wouldn't have been possible without you . . . literally. LOL. I hope that I have set a good example for
you. I want you to know that I didn't get plastic surgery because I didn't feel good enough about myself as a person. That was never it. I was always happy before the surgery. But there's not a thing wrong with taking steps to make yourself feel more beautiful. (When you're old enough!)
Dr. Hynes, you are amazing. You are a brilliant surgeon and a terrific man. I always felt that you cared, not only for the success of the surgery, but for me as a woman. Thank you.
And to David, thank you for always seeing me as beautiful. You are my base, my rock my love. Thanks for everything you do as a daddy and husband. Also, thank you for putting this whole book together. You are the best.
