Dear Rae, You are not being selfish by any means. I'm sure you have put everyone in your family ahead of yourself for years. And besides, when Mom (or Grandma) is happy, everyone is happy. :o) My parents were the only ones with worries about me doing my surgery but not because they thought it was frivolous but because of the safety. My surgery was 6 1/2 hours. Of course they said I looked great already but then they never saw me naked.

I just had a full TT, breast lift & saline implants under the muscle. You couldn't get any saggier breasts than mine. My doc said I didn't have to get implants (cuz I didn't want big boobs -- they just get in the way) but I didn't have a lot of tissue so I might have more of a slope on top than the fullness that I really wanted. (I took in pics of breasts that I liked.) He filled the saline implants with 370cc & 380cc. They are a little bigger than I expected but I know they will go down some in a few weeks. The more I can stand up straight & see them how they will look (as opposed to being hunched over) the more I admire them, scars & all. I'm hoping all of my fairly new & pretty 34D bras will still fit. If I'm a 34C that will be ok too. I had to get the 34D's cuz I had so much skin it would fall out of anything smaller; but I never filled out the top of the bras.

I was hoping to get lipo on my thighs but doc didn't think it was a good idea as my skin laxity isn't great & I already have some dimpling. He said lipo would just make the dimpling worse. So as soon as I can, the gym & my legs & butt will be together daily.

I have pics posted on my review, so go there & check it out. Feel free to ask any questions, no matter how embarrassing you may feel they are. We are here to help each other. My hubby thought for a while I was obsessed with this website prior to the surgery but I made him read a bunch of stuff from here & I was very informed. He complemented me after sx that he was glad that I found out all this stuff. For example, my labia swelled up 5x it's size (kept falling out of my oversized underwear) & not one dr. said it could be a side effect but I knew it could be from reading posts on here.

Keep us posted.

I am from Lexington KY also! Who is your PS?

Rae, make sure you have all your meds prior to surgery. Are you going to have help for a while? I'll be thinking & praying for you.

Good luck tomorrow, Rae. Keep us posted.

My cousin just went to him for a breast augmentation. How are u feeling?

Rae, are you using a walker? It really helps (& gives everyone else a nice laugh.) It will help take some pressure off your back. Milk of Magn helps too.

Rae, saw you on another post. How are you doing on the opening incision? I haven't seen that posted before & it is probably good thing for people to know to recognize it - knowledge is power. Good for you on your MM and pray all goes well as you heal! Congratulations!!
