Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of when reality hits.

It is your girl Brittany Cartwright. I am coming at you from my recovery. bed. I am nine days post-surgery. Actually, I'm 10 days post-surgery today. I had my surgery last Wednesday. I got there at 5.30 in the morning. For those of you who do not know, I recently had a mommy makeover, and I am beyond excited about my decision. I am so happy. It's something that I have wanted to do for me for a very long time. I asked a lot of you guys what you wanted to know about my surgery, and I got so many amazing questions that I'm going to answer.

So thank you for that. Thank you for a lot of the love and support that I've seen on social media. I really, really, really, really appreciate it. I love you guys. There's also some trolls out there, but that goes along with whatever you do, whatever you post, no matter what, you can't make everybody happy. but I just want everybody to know like I did this for me it was about my confidence you know I was torn down in my last relationship you know comments were made it was even talked about on the valley comments like that I looked like a tree trunk and different stuff like that and I had lost a lot of my confidence so I really wanted to get my confidence back I thought this was perfect timing I think I deserved it and I really wanted to do it for myself and I couldn't be happier with my decision so now we're we will go on to some of your questions.

You guys wrote in so many amazing ones, and I'm so thankful for that. This is from Ellie Marie. What all did you have done? Happy for you. Thank you so much. Okay, so we are getting right into it. Everything that I had done.

So, first off, I had abdominal reconstruction. After I had Cruz, which, by the way, I was humongous when I was pregnant. And I thank my body so much for giving me my beautiful son. I will never take anything for granted. I really just did this as a confidence thing for me because I'm starting to feel so much better after everything I've been through through where I'm at. And I wanted to feel as good on the outside as I'm starting to feel on the inside. And I thought that was very important for my mental health.

But after having cruise, I, you know, I gained a lot of weight. So I had a lot of stretch marks. and I kind of had a shelf at the very bottom below my belly button, that would not go away. You guys have seen me in my weight loss journey. I fluctuate so much. My weight goes up. My weight goes down. It goes all around.

So even at my skinniest, whenever I was working with Jenny Craig, I still had the stretch marks. I still had the shelf. And I had something called diastasis recti. And that is abdominal separation. So it's a condition in which the large abdominal muscles separate. and mine did not go back together after having Cruz. A lot of women have this after they have a baby, but some people are completely different.

And you would never even know that they looked like they had a baby. For me, whenever my, with my diocesis recti, my abs were separated. So at the top of my stomach, it was almost sticking out more than the bottom of my stomach because my abs were separated. So, like, the top of my stomach was almost sticking out as, as far as my boobs were and I hated that so what they did is they went in and they basically pulled

all of my skin back from my stomach and they completely put everything back in place so they put my abs back in place they put everything back in place like it was before sewed all of that together so that is extremely painful and a tough recovery but I can already tell such a difference like I could look down and my stomach doesn't stick out like it used to used to I had to I would like touch the top of my stomach and it wasn't even fat it felt like my abs were right there and it's because i had that diocesis recti and a lot of people on the internet are like oh you took the easy way out blah blah blah you could have worked out you could have done this yes i whenever i work out and lose weight i do look a lot smaller but i still had diactesis recti i still had stretch

marks and i still had that shelf that i could not get rid of no matter what i did and that's another thing that led to my decision to get the full-on mommy makeover. So they did abdominal reconstruction, and then I did Lapo around my back and around my sides and my stomach to help, like, shape and get my body back to the way it was looking pre-baby. Lipo is not easy. You know, my back is sore as well as my front, so it's been difficult to sleep. And then I had a full tummy tuck, so they cut off a bunch of the skin.

I've got pictures of it and everything. It is crazy to see, but they took off a lot of the skin from underneath my belly button to right above my pubic bone and all the way across. So it's crazy. Like all my stretch marks are gone. And my stomach is completely flat. They moved my belly button up. So that's what I did for the tummy tuck.

And then with my boobs, I got my implants taken out. I got a smaller size put in. They took out some of my breast tissue. to help make it look smaller as well and I got a lift so my boobs are perky they are beautiful I am so so so happy so that is everything I got done I got abdominal reconstruction lipo tummy tuck and breast implants taken out smaller ones put in and a lift and I am so freaking excited this is from girls love Bravo what size breast for you before and what size are you now i'm not somebody who was like really looking at my like what size i was if that makes any

sense because i would wear bras and stuff but i also didn't wear bras a lot of the time um because of comfort wise and because they got so big so whenever i first got my breast done i loved the way they looked in the very beginning and that was 10 years ago so after 10 years it's time to get your implants redone anyway because you never know what could happen health-wise you never know if one could start leaking you know there's just a lot of different things so it's always good to get them redone every 10 years so my 10 years has been up which is crazy that it's been that long um but i would have to say i was up to like an f or an e i mean my boobs got humongous and i knew that and i was so uncomfortable i did not like getting dressed it was a whole thing um after having

cruised and after breastfeeding and then my weight fluctuating they just got so big and they would not go back down to the way they were whenever I first got them done. So they were humongous. I'm aware of that. I was uncomfortable for a while. I've known that I wanted to do the surgery for a while. And that's another reason I'm so happy. I did it. I can already feel that I'm so much more comfortable, even just sitting here, even just like moving my arms around and different stuff like that. I'm not sure exactly what size I'll be. I'll still be swollen for a while. I still wanted, I still wanted boobs. I love boobs. I wanted big boots from the beginning. So I'll probably be like a full C small D but it is a huge difference and they look amazing this is from

birdie spider are you planning on having more kids so one of the reasons i waited so long to have this surgery done because i have wanted to have it done for a while is because i thought i wanted more kids i definitely did and i'm not against having more kids in the future it just doesn't seem like something that's going to happen for me right now whenever i was still married to Jacks, I definitely wanted another kid. That was part of our plan. And obviously, that did not work out. So that was part of the reason why I was pushing off having the surgery. Now I'm just like whatever God gives me. If I find somebody in the future, you know, I still have to figure out like dating and if I want to have more kids. It's not something that I'm like, if I don't have more

kids, I'm going to be so upset. I'm so happy, so content. Cruises everything to me. He is amazing. I love my wife. I'm very lucky, very blessed. So I guess I'm just seeing where the future holds. One of the things that my doctor said whenever I went in is that it is a myth that people can't have kids after having a tummy tuck. So that is a complete myth. If I was to get pregnant again, I might have a completely different pregnancy than I had the first time. I might not gain as much weight. I might not get the stretch marks. There's just so much that goes into it. And I could bounce right back or maybe I might need a little tuck here thereafter if I did it again too. Who knows? I don't know what my future holds. But my doctor said it is a complete myth that you can't

have children after having a tummy tuck or a breast lift. I was able to breastfeed with my fake breasts the first time as well. So you just never know what's going to happen. I'm not against having more kids, but I'm just trying to wait and see where life takes me. And it's not something I see happening within the next few years. So why should I wait any longer on getting my mommy makeover whenever it's something that I really, really wanted to do? And I just feel so, so glad that I did it. This is from official honesty. How bad is it?

And is it worth it? Is it worth it? I want to be, or I want one after having two kids, but I'm so scared. I get being scared. It is a lot. It is a big surgery. It really is. It's not easy.

I will say the first couple days, the first like three or four days were terrible. And I was expecting that. It was very, I couldn't get out of bed. I had to have somebody stay the night with me 24-7. I would call them from the guest room. They had to lift me out of bed so that I could go to the bathroom or do anything. I did not leave my upstairs bedroom for the entire first week. Very bedridden.

You have to lay on your back and I'm a stomach sleeper. I can't lay on my sides or anything. So you're just on your back and you have to stay elevated. So sleeping has been very, very uncomfortable. But I look at it as, you know, the pain is temporary, but the surgery is life changing. So I 100% think it's worth it. I would definitely do it again. I am on the other side now.

I'm still in pain. Not going to lie. I don't even really feel my boobs, which is crazy. My stomach is the most painful, and I think that makes sense because I had the abdominal reconstruction and the tummy tuck and the lipo. So my pain is mainly in my stomach. And you use your ab muscles and your core for everything. So just moving around or doing anything, I'm still very much in pain.

But I don't even feel my boobs. My boobs do not hurt whatsoever, and I thought that was wild. um but yeah i was scared as well and it's something that will be life-changing for me and i do not regret a second of it this is from rebecca mccann where do they cut below the belly button so yes they cut way below the belly button even way below like your bikini line so that you don't see the scars if you want to wear a bikini or if you want to wear little little belly shirts or whatever you want to do you will never see the scars and then my boobs are cut underneath as well and then align down the center just because I had to do the lift as well

and they had to move my nipples. Eventually with that, you know, I do have those scars, but eventually with that I'm going to be doing creams. I'm going to be doing all these different things and I'm going to be doing laser treatment. So like hopefully my scars will not be showing at all. They are very small. My doctors were amazing and it's not something that I feel bad about. I think that just the change is so drastic. I saw myself for the first time I'm a post-off appointment on Wednesday and I cried so much happy tears. It was all happy tears whenever they took off the stomach wraps and they they showed me my boobs again. My boobs look amazing. Yes, I have more stitches and stuff than I had the first time that I got them done but I know that those are

going to go away and I know with all the stuff I'm going to do to try to make them go away. Like I said, I'm going to get laser treatments. I'm going to be using creams. I'm going to be doing all these different things to make sure that they are very minimal. And my doctors, again, are amazing. So they are very small. And then with my tummy tuck, it's way, like I said, it's way below the line. And I just feel like whenever I looked in the mirror and I didn't have the stretch marks anymore, I didn't have that like saggy skin anymore. I just instantly started crying. It looked amazing. And I mean, I can't even explain. how it felt but it was just tears of joy immediately and it is so worth it this is from lucy less

do you feel physically and emotionally lighter yes i feel both i feel lighter both ways um like i said earlier having my breast done has been amazing it's been great i having my um breast taken out and smaller has been amazing i feel like i can move my arms more i feel like i can reach for things better. I feel, I just feel so much lighter and it's great. And emotionally, like, once I start being able to wear clothes again, it was so hard to find clothes that fit me where my boobs weren't always hanging out. It was so stressful getting dressed. I would get myself so down because I could not ever find anything that would fit me being smaller at, you know, smaller down below and bigger at the top. It was something I struggled with every single time I got dressed. My anxiety was

terrible. You know, the comments on social media and the stuff like saying my boobs are too big and this and this and that like I agreed with that I knew they were too big but it's not like I can just wake up and go have a surgery as soon as I want to like there are I have a child there are things that are involved it's actual surgery you have to go under anesthesia like there it had to be the perfect timing and this was the perfect timing for me so I'm so glad I did it I know once I'm out of this recovery I'm just going to feel amazing my sparkle is going to be sparkling everywhere and I just cannot wait this is from Laurie fings, Realtor. Make sure you do lymphatic massage. Makes a huge difference in swelling. Yes, I've

heard this too. If anyone else is going through a mommy makeover or any kind of surgery like me, lymphatic massages are very important. I'm actually getting ready to start those. My doctor recommended that as well. I found someone who is actually going to be able to come to my house to do them. I know that they're going to be a little painful at first, but I've heard it does wonders with the swelling. And, you know, I'm supposed to be swollen for like at least three months. But as I already said whenever I saw in my post-stop appointment, I look so much better already, even swollen. So I am just so excited. And I'm definitely getting ready to start the lymphatic massages. And if anyone is going through the same thing, you should try that too, because I've heard

nothing but great things about it. And once I start them, I will let you guys know more. I should be starting them next week. Just trying to get a little bit of this pain away before I start. Because goodness gracious, somebody rubbing on me right now, I can't even imagine it. It would be so painful. But I'm definitely going to do it soon. You know that moment when it's almost 6 p.m. The kids are hungry and you're staring into the fridge holding half a snack pouch, two grapes, and zero dinner plans.

I would have, but I can't control the past and I'm just so happy now that I did it and I cannot wait to see the final results. I feel amazing. This is from K. Stoco. What made you make the decision? I'm so happy for you. Thank you. I'm so happy too, so I appreciate that. What made me make the decision is that I just really wanted to feel good about myself naked, honestly. I wanted to feel good. I wanted to feel confident. I wanted to feel as good on the inside and the outside. After everything I've been through, I feel like I deserved it. I wanted to do it for me. I paid for everything myself. I've done everything myself. I chose exactly what I wanted to do. And it feels very empowering and it feels amazing that I'm able to do this for myself.

I made the decision. I've talked about it a little bit already. But, you know, getting dressed was so hard for me the the mental toll it took to like leave my house and just not feeling confident and you know feeling like i didn't fit into anything and you know it just was such a struggle for me and you know in being back in the dating world i wanted to feel sexy i wanted to feel good and i just felt like this was the time to do it why should i wait any longer i've already put it off for years and i am just so happy i did it this is from amy law 22 do you have scars So I kind of talked about that before. Yes, I have scars like really, really low right above my pubic bone under my boob and going down.

And they had to move my nipple. And I'm going, like I said, I'm going to be doing many treatments and different things to help reduce the scars. I did not scar at all for my first surgery. So I'm praying that it happens for me this time. I'm trying to eat really clean. They said it's important to eat clean. You know, I'm not drinking. I don't smoke.

I'm not doing anything at all. I'm not putting anything into my body whatsoever. So I'm trying to be very. healthy and now that I can move around I'm trying to move around as much as I can before I get exhausted so I'm trying to do everything the right way to minimize any type of scarring and my doctors are incredible so they have you know they fully expect my scars to almost completely go away and that makes me very happy this is from Jevin Joe Hall why didn't you downsize your breast you think it's a good look ask the internet so these are kind of some of the comments that I

cannot stand I did downsize my breasts I guess some people out there were like she didn't take her breast out she didn't do anything she just all she did was a tummy tuck this is why i wanted to talk and be open and honest about everything and it come right from my mouth so you guys know exactly what i did yes honey i did take out my breasts i did go smaller i did get a lift and i look amazing the internet has been hard on me the trolls have been hard on me i knew my boobs were too big it's not something i could just fix overnight people need to give people some grace and be happy with their own decisions for their own body We need to empower other women and not put them down.

I'm not saying everybody should have to do a mommy makeover. Everybody should have to do a tummy tuck. If you are happy with your stretch marks, like, amazing. I was so happy with my stretch marks. It's just something over time I wanted to do for myself. I support whatever anybody wants to do with their own bodies. I support other women no matter what if they want booze, if they don't want booze, if they want Botox, if they don't want Botox.

It's your body. Do what you want to do that makes you happy. That's what matters is that it's what makes you happy as a person. And I don't care what the internet has to say because I can never make everybody happy, honey. So maybe look into yourself and wonder why you say nasty things on the internet. Okay. All right. Moving on.

This is from Ariana Elise. How did you find the confidence to want the makeover? New mom's struggle. I feel you, girl. It's been something that I've been wanting to do for a long time. And I just felt like with everything I've gone through, I'm in such a better place. and I was like, why am I putting it off? I want to do this for me.

I feel so empowered. Let me do this for me. And I feel great. I'm glad that I did it. You know, it is a scary procedure. It's not easy. It's not for everyone. But I definitely just felt like it was time.

And after everything I've been through, I just felt like I deserve to do it for me. And that really gave me the confidence. And I think this is going to make my confidence even better. Like, I cannot wait. until this is completely over. My swelling is completely down. I think I'm going to feel amazing, and I'm just going to be so incredibly happy.

This is from MDSNC Smith. What was it like recovering and having a toddler at the same time? So this was something that kind of surprised me. You know, the first four days, I couldn't even leave my bed. Somebody had to help me get up, go to the bathroom, anything. Definitely couldn't go downstairs. Couldn't see crews like the first day at all. whenever I came back.

So Cruz is at my house 24-7. He is here. I have a wonderful nanny that comes from wake up to to he goes to sleep. And I have a monitor in my room in case he wakes up throughout the night. But I'm not allowed to lift anything over 15 pounds. And I've still got the tube, so I have to be extremely careful. And I'm just, like, extremely sore. So I can't risk, like, busting stitches or anything like that.

So now that I'm able to get up and walk around, I make sure I go downstairs. I have breakfast with him. I go outside while he's swimming. he comes to my room a lot he picks roses from the garden and brings them to me every day if i'm like sleeping in my room or resting in my room he comes in and gently gives me hugs and kisses it has been amazing something i didn't expect was how much mom guilt i was going to have because he is literally at my house i get to see him 24-7 but i think where he is non-verbal it has been so emotional on me because him and i are so like we play all day long so me not really

been able to play with him and not being able to, like, wrestle with him and him climb on me and do all the boy stuff and all the hugs and all the kisses and everything like that. I've cried a couple times just because I feel like I miss him, which is crazy because he's here with me 24-7, but I just miss, like, hugging and loving and playing and let him crawl on top of me and all that stuff. So the mom guilt has been pretty hard on me. I'm not going to lie. But I make sure I see him all day long.

He knows I'm right here. He's probably wondering why I can't play with him as much. but this is just temporary and I have to keep reminding myself this is just temporary I'm only one week and three days out after my second week I'll be feeling so much better I'll be able to do more things with him and then after six weeks I am completely cleared to do everything so yeah mom gilba has been hard but I have made it a priority to make sure that he sees me all day long and he has been amazing my sweet little boy he helps me feel better every single day Jordan and Bushmaster.

What TV shows have you been watching while recovering? Oh my gosh. I have been in bed for so long that I have watched so much TV. I get so bored, but I have watched so much TV. So I started off watching that Ed Gien story with Charlie Hounen, Human, is that how he says his name, on Netflix. And that was amazing. I watched that. It was a little confusing at times because they kept flashing back to all the movies that they had made.

So I was like, wait, did that really happen or wait, did this happen? But that was a really good show. I would recommend watching it. I've been watching The Shiningville with Courtney Cox on HBO. I've been watching that. And I've been watching a lot of 90-day fiancé. There are so many different shows in the 90-day fiancé, like, category on TLC. So I started off with watching 90-day the other way.

And now I've gone back to watching 90-day. Before the 90 days, there's just so many different ones that you could watch, and these shows are hilarious. So a lot of 90-day fiancés. I'm trying to watch a lot of positive stuff. It is becoming spooky season, so I am going to start watching a lot of scary movies and things like that as well, because I love that. I also love true crime. So I've been watching a lot of different things, but right now, 90-day fiancé is where it's at. This is from Adventure of Amanda V.

how big were the implants? How much weight did you take off overall? I'm not sure exactly how much weight I took off overall. Like I said earlier, my boobs had to be like up to an E or F. Like they were humongous. So those are way far down and all the skin and everything he took off. I think they took off at least like a gallon of skin, which is crazy. Probably about 10 pounds of different things that is what I would say. I feel so much better. My implants are smaller. I think my first implants were like 350.

These are like 330 cc. So there are smaller implants, but what makes them even smaller is they took off a lot of like my breast tissue where I had gained weight and different stuff like that and did a lift. So they just are a lot smaller. They feel so much better. So yeah, it's a big, big difference. This is from London with Anna.

Why all the body shaming? That's something I will never understand. You know, I kind of talked about this earlier. People should never body shame anybody. You never know what somebody is struggling with behind closed doors. People were talking about my boobs 24-7, and it was something that I struggled with every single day of my actual life. You just never know what somebody's struggling with. Stop body-shaming people.

Lift each other up, especially other women. I think that is so important. Let everybody do what they want to do with their own bodies. Be supportive. Be happy for them. There's no need for the hate and for the shade whatsoever. This is from Elizabeth Costa. How bad are the drains?

And do you feel like you can't stand up straight? Oh, yeah. I've definitely felt like I have been walking like I was a hundred years old. Like, it's been hard to stand up straight for sure. I'm getting better and better every single day. The drains are hopefully coming out on Sunday. And I cannot wait for the drains to come out. The drains are for my stomach.

They're not for my boobs. I don't have any drains in my boobs. The drains are for my stomach. And they, I empty them out. In the beginning, I had to empty them out like twice, two or three times a day. Now it's every 12 hours, so I do it like once a day or at night in the morning. But you have to like clean the tubes, you know, make sure there's no chunks or anything. And that sounds gross, but make sure there's nothing like clogging the tubes.

And then you empty and you like measure how much so that you know whenever it's time to get your drains taken out. Because if you're still leaking a lot, they want you to keep the drains in longer because it's better for your swelling they are uncomfortable it is annoying but they help so much with your swelling and with your healing so it has been a thing um definitely feel like i can't stand up straight but that has been getting better i've been so worried about like accidentally like pulling one of the tubes out of my skin or doing anything like that but it's been it's been easier than i thought it would i always have them like covered the drains have little clips so that you can like clip them up so they're not hanging down um it's actually pretty easy to clean

and you just measure it and show your doctor how much comes out each day and they'll decide off of that when you get them taken out. So hopefully mine will come out on Sunday. And I've heard that is also very painful. So I'll let you guys know after that happens what that experience felt like. But yeah, I definitely can't wait to get them out. But as long as it's helping me heal and helping with the swelling, then I'm all for leaving them in there as long as I possibly can. This is from Danielle Blair 89. How much time from working out? So you cannot work at. out or do anything like that you can't be in pools you can't be in oceans you can't have sex you can't do a bunch of things you can't lift over 15 pounds for six weeks and then after six weeks

I can start working out and that's going to be my plan I definitely want to work out I think this is going to motivate me so much to be so healthy because I'm going to look so good I'm going to feel so motivated and I'm definitely going to be in the gym and I'm definitely going to just really focus on my health mentally and physically so I can't wait But yeah, six weeks total. So I'm down one week, one week and a half. So I've got a waste to go, but it's all worth it. This is from Felicia.

Felicia like, do you have a goal? Pre-baby outfit you are looking forward to wearing. I definitely have a goal. I definitely want to lose weight as well as have the surgery. I want to feel amazing. I cannot wait to wear a two-piece. I have not worn a two-piece bikini in a year. and I've already sold my post off how flat my stomach is.

So I definitely think that that is something that I can do. And I did not think I would ever be able to say that. I could almost cry. So yeah, definitely getting back into a bikini will feel amazing. I just cannot wait to see what confidence this brings back into my life and what joy this brings back into my life. So, yeah, definitely bathing suits and just fitting into some old clothes and definitely having my pre-baby body back.

Like, this is going to be absolutely amazing. Felicia. This is another one from Felicia. How excited are you for the results? I am so excited. I'm already seeing it just a week out. It looked amazing. Every week it's only going to get better and better and better and better. So I am beyond excited. I cannot wait to see how I look in three months after all the swelling goes down. I mean, I will do like a big reveal after three months, but I'm sure I'll be posting photos and things along the way. But I just cannot wait to see how it looks. I'm so excited. So excited. So blessed I was able to do this. this is from kiki do you need me did special forces have to do with it no special forces had nothing to do with it i've already known that i wanted to do this for a long time special forces you know i definitely wasn't in my best physical shape i know that but there was so much stuff that went into that i didn't have much time to train for that either so it wasn't like i had a whole year to prepare for that it was a very tough show i wanted to see if i could do it it wasn't for me i've said many times having men scream at me even though they were

were just doing their job after me getting out of a toxic relationship it did not motivate me it triggered me so it was not something that could keep me going it just wasn't meant for me but i'm proud of myself that i went i jumped out of a freaking helicopter like how many people can say that my biggest fear is heights and i did something like that so i'm very very very proud that i still put myself out there i didn't make it very far it wasn't for me but i still did it and i'm proud of that but no it had nothing to do with with what i'm doing now do i think if i came back in a year after having the surgery after losing weight, after getting back into the gym, would I do better? 1,000% of course I do.

I have always been a girl that loves cereal. Every since I was little, I have loved it. Now I love it, and I've always wanted to find one that tastes amazing, and that is actually good for you. So I found Magic Spoon. Magic Spoon makes high protein, zero sugar, cereal, and treats reinvented from your childhood. The nostalgia is, amazing. I absolutely love it. I love things like this and they are delicious. Every serving of

Magic Spoon high protein cereal has 13 grams of protein, zero grams of sugar and four grams of net carbs. They come in nostalgic flavors like fruity, cocoa, and frosted. Magic Spoon's high protein treats are crispy, crunchy, airy, and an easy way to get 12 grams of protein on the go, which I love, because whenever I'm busy, it is hard to get all the things I need, and these are delicious.

Um, yes, anything obviously very soft like sports ball bra like material but definitely things that button in the front like button right between your boobs because it's going to be too hard to reach around and put anything around the back anything that buttons up front comfy supportive sports brawl very light very easy that's what i'm wearing buttons in the front that's the best thing that i could tell you there are so many you can just find even on amazon that are amazing a lot of people said ask about the cause this is from jesse went a lot of people were asking about that. So I asked my doctors how much this would cost.

But mind you, I went to the best doctors in Beverly Hills, Dr. John Lakey and Dr. Daniel Pore. They did my surgery, and they are the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group. They are amazing doctors. They did my first boob job, which looked so amazing when I first got them done. They have been my friends and doctors for years and years and years, and they are the best of the best. I asked him how much this would cost. He said it could cost anywhere from 50,000 to 80,000. So remember, this is in Beverly Hills. It's not going to be that expensive everywhere that you go.

It is going to be expensive, though, because it is a life-changing surgery, and there is a lot to be done. So, yeah, it is pretty expensive, but at the same time, like I said, depending on where you go and where you get it done, the prices will change. So it will go up and down. It's not always going to cost that much wherever you go. Make sure you're going with someone who you think is amazing, just like me. I would not have gone to any other doctors because they are incredible and I trust them with everything. And they did a wonderful job, so it's worth it. Yeah.

So that's about what it would normally cost in Beverly Hills. This is from Galito XO or Gallet XO. Is Cruz speaking at all now? Cruz is saying a little bit more words every single day. I'm so proud of him. he is saying more things like mama yeah hi um he'll just randomly say different words here and there but he is still nonverbal we're working on it every day he is doing amazing he is my special special special special amazing wonderful child and i'm so proud of him um i keep hoping

that it will come one day and i think that it will he gets closer every single day um i hear him playing and saying words all the time he randomly said gorilla he says orange he says up you know the fact that he's adding more words to his vocabulary is a win and i'm so proud of him he is so smart his o t his speech therapy everything that we work on with him every single day it is helping and he is just so amazing oh my god this question's hilarious love animal rescue they asked did the new boyfriend pay for it oh my god oh my god absolutely not nobody paid for my surgery but me all me I decided everything I wanted to do for me and little side note I'm single we actually did not last we were very good friends before we started dating it was kind of like a whirlwind

relationship it went into the public way sooner than we ever would have wanted it to um we we still care about each other it ended amicably but I just cannot do the long distance and you know he's got a lot of obligations with his three kids and jobs and we live three hours away. So it was just too tough to keep it going. We really cared about each other. Hopefully we can remain friends, but it's just something I didn't see that was going to be able to continue in the future. So your girl is single and definitely nobody paid for my surgery but me. I'm a boss baby, boss bitch. I got this all by myself and I'm happy actually. I feel good. I'm glad that I am, you know, I still got a lot of healing to do, a lot of learning to do. So I think being single for a little bit longer is what's best

for me. It was a short relationship, short couple months. Like I said, it got into the media much sooner than we wanted it to. But I feel good about the decision. And I think, you know, this is what's best for me. So wish him the best, wish everything the best. It just wasn't for me. It just didn't work out. So I'm single. Tell your friends. Okay, this is from Tori Dupree. What were you most worried about before the procedure. I think anytime that I have any kind of surgery done, whether it was getting my tonsils taken out or anything like that, like being under anesthesia is scary no matter what. So I did a lot of praying.

I did a lot of, you know, calling everybody, telling everybody I love them and doing all that kind of stuff. I think that is almost the scariest part for me. Also, waking up knowing you're going to be in a lot of pain is scary. But I just think going under anesthesia is always scary. So I made sure I prayed and I thank God for everything he's going. given me, and I felt so much better going in. Okay, this is from Jules 3286.

Flashback to VPR. Did you get pressured by Jax to get larger implants than what you wanted? I want to make this very clear. I always wanted bigger boobs. I always wanted that. It was my decision to get the boobs done. Yes, he was telling me, go a little bit bigger than smaller, blah, blah, blah. I loved the way my boobs looked whenever I first got them done.

They were amazing. They got bigger with time. I think that's something that people don't realize. after having my son and my weight fluctuating, they got so much bigger. I love the way they looked whenever I first got them done, and they're going to look like that again, maybe a little bit smaller. So I don't regret having them done. I just, you know, it's just things over the years.

It's been 10 years, so it's time to get them redone. This is from Liseby the Van Can Gym. I don't know how to say that. Do you also feel better mentally? Yes, I am in such a better place now than I was last year. every day I'm getting stronger. I am so proud of myself. It has been a journey. I've been through a lot of hard stuff, but I feel amazing. And this is only going to help me mentally and physically as well. So I am so proud of that. And I, you know, I just can't wait to see how I feel in a couple more months whenever

everything is healed and the swelling has gone down. I just want to say thank you guys so much. I hope I cleared up any questions that you guys had. I appreciate you guys reaching into me. I'll fill you guys in on more details next week. Like after I get the tubes taken out, my recovery is still going. But as of right now, I'm feeling good, getting stronger every day. I did this for me. I'm so happy and proud of myself. I feel so strong.

I feel so empowered. I feel good. And, you know, I just love you guys. And I hope that everyone has an amazing weekend, an amazing week. I'll be answering so many more questions in the weeks to come. I love you guys. And I hope you all have a fabulous day. Remember, be respectful, try to be positive, and just be happy.
