Five weeks and under the knife

[mumof2boys 71]

Well, in just five weeks from today I'll be under the knife at this time. I am so nervous. I'll be getting a lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation. OUCH

It's going fast, isn't it, Tina? I have about 4 weeks until my surgery and am freaking out!

I'm not having a BA (still a D cup even after losing the weight, though they're a little 'emptier'-looking than before), just a LBL. How much bigger are you going?

I'm not necessarily going "bigger" but I went in to see how much more it would cost to add a breast lift with the lower body lift. Well, he showed me what I would look like with just a breast lift. Right now I'm wearing a C cup (mind you, they are so saggy it's basically skin stuffed into a C cup) and it would make me an A cup. Oh, hell no. So, I'm going to be a full C but it will be much nicer than I have now. I also think that I'm gonna with with silicone instead of saline. I am so nervous I cannot even tell ya. My girlfriend had gastric bypass five years ago. She has lost 160 pounds and last week she had a lower body lift. She told me that the pain meds. are a MUST. Hearing her say that scared me even more.

Good luck to you with your procedure. I'll be thinking about you...we can get through this!

I am nervous too, don't worry! The pain is the part that makes me most antsy, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to do it anyway!

And re the breast lift/augmentation: I get it now. I guess when they lift, a fair amount gets taken off, so it makes sense to put some back in so you don't lose a cup size. I can't imagine being an A cup either after never being any smaller than a C since puberty!

I'm sure you'll look stunnning at the end of it, and the pain will all be worth it!
