“Nervous and Excited - Bloomington, IL”

Well I am 5'5" and well not stating weight just yet as I'm 8 months pregnant currently, however this will be my last child. I'm 31 years old and have a 3 year old daughter already. Prior to having kids I was a 34D and firm/perky. Even at that size I could go without a bra in a shirt that required it. Then I got pregnant with my daughter and went to a DD and breastfed her for 3 months and suddenly dried up.

After her my breasts deflated to a C cup. I never lost all my weight from her and was at 175 when I got pregnant this time. We dediced that since we each have a child from previous marriages and that I dont deal well with pregnancy physically that this will be our last.

I've wanted my pre baby breasts back since I lost them and so he told me to go ahead and call around. I found 2 doctors through research and through referals. I have my first appointment on 9/26/11. They know I'm pregnant but said that to come in and get my questions answered and such things and then if I choose this particular Dr. that we would schedule an appt for once I'm done breastfeeding.

I plan to breastfeed and pump at the same time for the first 3 months and in doing so I hope the pumping will provide my baby at least 6 months of breast milk and no formula, provided I dont dry up unexpectedly like I did with my daughter. Then I am hoping to be dried up within 3 months of stopping, because my wedding to my fiance is October 2012 and I want to be healed and looking pretty normal before then.

So I hope to have surgery by May 2012 if everything goes as planned. I'm nervous and excited for my upcoming consultation.

well I'm not sure that I liked the surgeon I met with yesterday. She seemed nice enough but didnt really click with her. She kind of contradicted herself as well. First she told me that I'd have to wait min. 6 months and up to 1 year after I stop breastfeeding before being able to do the surgery (even tho everything I've read from other dr's has said once milk is gone which is usually 3 to 6 months is enough) and then she turned around and said we would need to do it while the baby is 15lbs or less so that I could still care for baby during the 6 week recovery period, well considering my babies are usually large (over 8lbs) that means that the window would be passed by the time I was dried up from breastfeeding. Not only that but she said she would want me to pay for an augment and lift and she would decide in the operating room weather a lift needed done or not if not she'd refund the difference. I did get to feel silicone and saline and definately liked the feeling of silicone much better. The total cost of the two procedures plus surgicenter and anesthesia would be 8600. I really dont want a lift if I can help it. I dont know. It was 90 dollars for the consult but it goes towards the surgery if I use her. The other dr. I'm considering has a consult fee of 50 dollars but I have to schedule surgery for within 4 months of the consult in order for the 50 dollars to transfer to the surgery. His employee quoted me 5800 over the phone but wasnt specific as to what that covered etc. So I guess I'll be waiting until at least January before I call and set up the consult for him. Just hate to keep spending money I'm losing that wont go towards my surgery.
