sp1587 27 Posted January 21, 2013 I'm pretty excited-- I just booked my surgery for March 11th, which seems so far away/yet so close! I'm doing a TT and breast lift (with no implants as of now). I also spoke with my surgeon about my upper arms and inner thighs, and we will be evaluating those again at my next appointment, as I am trying to get down about another 15lbs or so before then so things may change a little bit with additional loss. Right now its looking like I may do a little Lipo on both and see if the skin adjusts, hopeful avoiding more surgery later and saving a bit now-- but we will see. He said I will have drains for about the first week, and I have two weeks off from work/school. Very excited, upping my fitness activities between now and then to stay on track and be in the best shape possible for surgery! If anyone has advice on how to prepare, recovery, what to expect, etc., I would love to hear from you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted January 22, 2013 I just had mine in dec... Originally I wasn't goig. To get implants but after careful discussions and thought I opted not to be a A cup and went for a full B. I am thrilled with the results. I have a thread posted In this section and also have pics on my gallery if you want to look. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/161780-tummy-tuck-and-breast-left-on-tuesday-1218/ Love love my new body and the extra skin on my arms and legs just doesn't look quite as bad anymore.

sp1587 27 Posted January 23, 2013 Thank you both! I used to be a DDD and am now a D or DD (need to get measured), not wanting to be bigger, but its hard to imagine them any differently! Planning to tell him I don't want to be smaller than a full C, and letting him take it from there once he's in the OR. The pics and everything are very helpful-- Any advice is welcome for sure. I've added some new work outs and stuff to get myself down the last 15-20lbs in the meantime. Using it to keep myself busy as I wait for surgery, so very excited.
