Let the countdown begin...yesterday I scheduled my surgery for plastics. I'm getting a lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation. The big day is April 14, 2009...7:30 am...first surgery of the day. I am so excited, yet scared as hell. I know that I'm going to be in some serious pain but I figured it will all be worth it. I never thought that this day would come. I never thought that I would look the way that I do now and I can't wait to have an end result. Yesterday was my second consultation. I went to see how much it would be to add on a breast lift. Well...if I just did a lift...I would go from a C cup to an A. Oh...hell no!!! That goes to show you that it's all sagging skin (GROSS). Anyway...the butterflies in my stomach have already arrived. Anyone out there have these procedures done at the same time? How was your recovery? Give me all the details.

Good Luck to you Tina!

Congratulations on your sucess and keep us updated on your progress. I would be both excited and nervous.

I am not there yet but I think that I will need to have PS too. My stomach and upper thighs are pretty jiggly and I would also like a breast lift. My upper arms are getting better so maybe they will snap back OK.

I was wondering about the cost, it looks like we are both in the DC metro area could you let me know how much your doctor charges for your procedure?

Just three short months from yesterday and I go under the knife...I'm nervous as hell and excited!!!

About the breast lift...that's what I initially went in there for with my second consultation. Let's just say that by just doing a lift, it took me from a C cup to an A. I cannot have that. So....I'm getting the lift with implants. I want to remain the same size that I am...a C but I want a full C...not a skin filled bra C cup.

Tina,

You, me and OH Juli are all having body lifts at around the same time. I'm actually first cab off the rank with surgery on the 2nd of April, so I'm right there with you on the butterflies in the tummy!

I'm not having a BA though. Despite the crap skin on my stomache and hips, my girls have come through my weight loss relatively okay. I've gone from a DD cup to a D and they're pretty good still for having breastfed 4 kids!

How are you going for preparations? When is your bloodwork? Have you been measured up for your compression garment yet?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
