Finally Taking the Final Step to Get Me from Rolly-Polly to Holy Moly! - Florham Park, NJ

Thanks. It is just SO DAMNED EXCITING to have nice boobs when you have never, ever, EVER had them! You kinda want to show the world, KWIM? LOL

Thank you! I would say I am standing-up at about 99%! I think the last 1% is more fear than actual inability to stretch, if that makes sense.

That's great. Did your doctor do any muscle work?

He did. At the appt. today he said he spent a fair amount of time sewing/tightening my upper-abs. He said the lower section was only slightly separated and I definitely feel a BIG difference in the amount of pain/tightness (in the upper vs. the lower) when I cough & laugh. Did you have a lot of muscle work done? If so, how long to basically recover from that portion?

I'm sure that'll make a big difference. I go in on Saturday - My doctor said he's not sure if he'll have to do muscle work - he will see how everything looks when he's doing the procedure.

TT went really well, too. Will have the hubs take a few pix after my first, glorious shower tomorrow morning! Thanks!

That sounds great, I'm so excited and nervous next month is my turn :-)

You will do wonderfully! I just read your story and we have SO MUCH in common. You (WE) have earned this and we deserve it! There will be a little apprehension, a little pain, a little bit of a setback in your workout routine, and A LOT of pride and celebration of what you have accomplished. I lost my mom three weeks ago very unexpectedly and the only regret I have is not doing this just a little sooner so she could see how damn good I look! Mostly, it's for me though. And yours is for you. I cannot wait to see your results. I worked as a WW leader for years and I know very well how hard it is to lose it and keep it off (even harder). You have earned this. Enjoy it!

I am sorry for your loss. I bet your Mom is smiling at you from heaven :-) very proud of your accomplishments. I am frightened and anxious about the post op. I have very little pain tolerance. I know that it may sound a bit selfish but I know that I deserve this and I am worth every penny. I have been saving every cent that I can for the past 13 months in order to be able to afford this and not rely on anyone for payments. Not only that but I workout so much and so hard and I do not see any improvements that I really need to do this. I have always put my family first and for once I am going to do me. *** yikes, I can't believe I said that out loud. *** Thank you so much for you kind words and encouragement. Happy healing ;-)
