1 week from today I will be getting my BA. Still feeling nervous. I hope 350cc silicone unders won't look to big. I don't want to be too big. I want to be able to hide it if I need to. Again, I am 34 barely A, 117lbs, 5'6". Wanting a full B small C. Eeeeek.

I went to my pre-op yesterday and freaked out. I feel like a ridiculous person. I feel silly for wanting a MM and I feel silly for not being ready to have a MM. The feelings are so conflicting. I know that MANY women in this site have the same feelings. Guilt, uncertainty, nervous...and more guilt. I am a person who never tells anyone anything personal. I hate to admit defeat. I do everything for my boys. I have a high pain tolerance and hate to think that I can't do the TT part of the MM.
I will only be getting the BA now. I cancelled the TT. My consultant at the PS is amazing!!!!!! She was so understanding. I explained to her my situation and she looked at me said, "You're not ready and that's ok". Right now she is 2 weeks post op. She told me that the same thing happened to her. 11 years ago she got a BA but wasn't ready for the TT. She is actually recovering from a BL w/ new implants, TT w/ muscle repair and Lipo. She went back to work 7 days after her surgery. If anyone can show me how doable this is...it's her.
For now, it's a BA on 4/6. I even feel Incredibly guilty for doing just that. Why can't I just be happy with my post baby body?????

Jensconcerned, I am one who had a thin tummy and only skin. LOTS of skin. in fact I weigh 128 lbs and had NO LIPO. amazing let me tell you when the skin was removed it was about 15" they took off. I had 4 kids the first two were the largest 8lbs 9 oz and then 15 months later 10lbs 1/2 oz. so I know ALL about skin. I do have a few pics feel free to look. I did have 1 week of recovery help. but I DID do a lot of cooking and freezing.. Recovery has not been terrible. and just a few minor things along the way.... I know everyone has the "Maybe I should wait" or "am I being selfish" believe me..now I am SOOOOO GLAD I did this.

You are so welcome! Remember I was where you were a year ago :-) it is so scary and doubts do come and go....it's always harder to do something for yourself when you have children. You will look amazing and will love your new body!

Believe me, I know how much time Little League takes! Thanks for letting us know. The BA will still be a great boost for you. Try not to feel guilty and think of it as reconstructive surgery!

you asked a question I think most Moms ask. Even if only to themselves.. and us "older" Moms have tried to just deal with. "Why cant I be happy with my post baby body?" I dont think there is an easy answer.. I have nad not been happy and tried to just live with it for 25 years... well believe me I always WISHED I looked different that I did "post baby" I exersized my heart out. I am in GREAT physical shape.. but the day came when money was there (yes it took a bit of saving and sacrafice for sure) but with my husband by my side it was just my turn in life to NOT put everyone else and every thing else first.... No magic answer..... just like no magic fix....
Glad you are taking the course of action that is BEST FOR YOU!

So my post just came up onto this site and I re-read it. I made a couple typos!!!! I am sure you all know what I am trying to say...but let me correct it because it bugs me!!!
So just this sentence was funny...here is the correction:
My breasts have always been small, but after breast feeding they just got smaller and are not even round anymore.
The funniest part about my original sentence was that I said, "beast feeding". Now that I think about it, maybe it was a little like that!! :)

I decided against the TT and had mt BA yesterday.n I t we the right choice for me. I do have all the support in the world from my husband...so that's not why I didn't do the TT. Nerves got the best of me. I was still 50/50 going into the BA. I almost didn't sign the papers right before my surgery. But I did it and I think that I am going to be very happy with my decision. Thanks for the input. All the kind words really do mean a lot. Good luck with your recovery.
Being a woman is tough!!!! We are our own worst critics.
You look great and I hope to look like that someday too!
