ORIGINAL POST
I'm exactly one month away from getting my breast...
$9,500
I'm exactly one month away from getting my breast implants (silicone) and a full tummy tuck. After having a 10+ lb kid and losing a 100 pounds I'm ready for my body to get back to some kind of normal. I'm looking to get 550 cc under muscle. I have a curve to my back due to a car wreck and breaking my back in three places and my hips protrude out a little bit. I'm super nervous but so ready for my outsides to match my insides. I feel like I'm living in a foreign body.

Hi Katrina, I also had a vsg about a year ago and am scheduled to have a mommy makeover. It would be great to compare notes. :)

Hello !! I just read your profile and we have a lot in common. I'm doing the rice test this weekend with my sports bra to see if that's what I really want and can handle since I'm going for 550cc too. I'm posting tummy and breast pics this weekend. I was nervous at first about posting pictures but then thought the heck with it ! In the end all the pictures will represent the good, the bad, and the happy for once !

I can't wait to see your results. Congratulations on your weight loss.

Getting Anxious - only 3 weeks away
Anyone else having problems sleeping ? I'm so anxious about this procedure. I definitely have a "known outcome" personality. I personally have to know and understand why I'm doing something, what it can or will affect, and what the end result will be. This is so out of my element though. I have browsed through thousands of pictures and thought "hmmm... I wonder if my breast/tummy will look like this one or that one". Not knowing how exactly things will progress is driving me nuts ! Anyone else had these issues and if so how did you overcome them ? Cosmetic Surgery to me is like a hair cut. Lets face it there are people out there that I wish I could emulate their body parts but realistically we just can't. What works for one won't necessarily work for the other one. My eyes are showing the stress really bad and I'm in some dire need to rid myself of this anxiety !

Congratulations on your weighr loss and your upcoming surgery. I am now a year and a half po from an extended TT and breast augmentation. Dr Hedden performed my surgery and I love him. You couldn't have picked a better surgeon. Good luck and keep us updated.

I'm so nervous ! I have a question for you though. Your profile said you got 450 cc under the breast ? What size where you before your BA ? I'm thinking about 550cc. Truthfully though, doc Hedden said I was barely an A ! Thank God for padded bras all these years !! Lol

I was wearing a C cup. But didn't fill it up. Dr H said I was more like a B cup. 450ccs took me to a D cup.
August 19, 2014
That's where I want to be: a Full D cup. I looked at your pictures and he did a really good job on you. I'm just dreading the day but ready to get there at the same time !

If you're an A, i would definately think 550 ccs would get your into a D. I honestly wish I'd gone a little bigger, but am happy with what i have. Dr H does an amazing job on the incisiions. My scars are barely visable. I love that! I didn't have much time to dread the surgery. My consult and surgery were within about 3 weeks if each other. I was so excited about it that I didn't even get nervous until the night before my surgery. You'll be fine and do great. Just take it easy and listen to your body and rest when you need to. I'm excited for you! Good luck.

I did the rice test tonight and yikes.. I'm scared. Maybe I don't have the right sports bra or maybe just the rice in the pantyhose was wider in diameter than my breast. I'm posting those in a separate thread here in a few. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Detox Begins !
So I'm off all coffee and caffeinated tea. I never really drink sodas anyway so that wasn't an issue anyway. Coffee without caffeine sorta is pointless with me so I'm adjusting. My co workers in the morning get the worst of it because I don't hit that cheerfulness mood till about 10 now. I'm drinking two pitchers A day of water with lemon, lime, cucumber and a small amount of mint. Being hydrated is a must !

how exciting! congrats cant wait to see your results, I cant wait to be getting my mmo!

Was the detox suggested by PS? I don't know if I could give up coffee. I only have one 8 oz cup a day but it is my last vice ;-)

I talked to the nurse and she said it was a great idea. I actually read a post here on this website where another woman similar to my age, size, and was anemic just like I am had done it and swears it helped with the swelling post her mommy makeover. I talked to my MD when I went had my CDC testing done for my mommy makeover and he said it was an awesome detox to do. I eat healthy most of the time but I want my body to be in the best "clean" state it can be in. Today was easier without coffee verses Monday. For me, coffee is more of a mental want than a physical want. I have my brain trained to think that my body doesn't wake up without the coffee. I'm slowly but surely finding out that's not true.
