Hello I am 36 years old with a 16,14,9 year old and waited 16 years. I am having a TT , breast lift( still not sure if it was good idea or if I should have gotten some saline implants to go from B to C cup. Felt very selfish about all of this 'till doc said my ugly post gallbladder surgery bellybutton left me with an hernia there. That makes this a "medically necessary" TT and breast lift- right?? Sure it does!!

Couldn't find front zippering sports bras anywhere. I had to dig to find 2 at Walmart. I should have ordered ahead online. My doctor said to get Ginger ale, jello, and crackers for the first few days. I'll have to hide the soda from the kids. The surgery center called today to review everything for Thursday. Even though I'll be in pain it will be good to get it over with and get rid of the stress knot in my stomach.

congratulations and welcome. I hope you do keep us posted and I hope the nerves turn to excitedness...Medicaly needed YES... hello.. if people understood how the way we LOOK directly affects many parts of our lived insurance would pay for it...sadly they dont.. but it's worth it. I am not a vain person or one who thinks "looks" are a big deal.. but how I felt was.. and is.. please let us know how your feeling..nervous.. excited.. THRILLED..

Any questions??

Agreed! Still nervous though! Hope I have enough pain meds- I just keep thinking if all of you got through it I can too. Thanks for the support!

Congrats, this is such an exciting venture your taking on. You will feel so good when you can look in the mirror and not feel disgusted by what you see. The Dr didn't mention it but make sure to get a bottle of MOM aka Milk of Magnesia. It is soooo needed after taking the pain pills. Good luck & keep us updated!

Thanks for the advice! My stomach is doing summersaults- I won't even post my before pics until I get some after pics.

I didn't even need all my pain meds so I'm sure IF you stay on top of the pain meds you'll do fine. Playing catch up is hard. I set a timer and just took then on time every time no matter what for the first 4 days I think it was. I didnt do pre op photos either untill after I was done.. to scary for me..

I think I can...I think I can... Driving there now. Have 2 sets of "after clothes"- thought I messed up the time and called the center in a panic. My daughter asked, "Do you have to do this?" Felt guilty and like just staying home.

I'm home! They put IV in hand but gave a little numbing first so didn't feel it. Going to sleep. Family being great!
