I DID IT!!! I did it, march 2011, sorry I haven't posted been a little busy with trying to deal with and save my marriage! My husband was VERY VERY supportive emotionally & physically while I was down recovering. Once I recovered and was able to do things on my own he quickly changed to a very unhappy, angry, man. He didn't like me, didn't like the way I looked, my boobs were too big, the scare was from hip to hip... he didn't want to see me in a bathing suit, he didn't want other men to see me in a bathing suit! It was INSANE!! in this very long dramatic year, he was diagnosed with diabetes & depression. Low & behold it was my fault!!! I caused his depression, I created his diabetes... funny how that works!! Anyway, things are slowly getting better. I have to say that at first I agreed the boobs seemed way too big, but since everything has dropped and relaxed, yes they are a little bigger than I asked for, I am getting used to the way I look and am mostly happy with the results. It is not so dramatic though... as my family can't tell I had anything done!!! Maybe in a bathing suit they will be able to tell, but not fully clothed. I don't look dramatically different as he likes to think/say!

Did you get your surgery yet? How did it go? Hope you are doing well.
My husband is not too thrilled about the $ & also he works 14 hour days & cannot take off, so after day 3, I am on my own with 2 kids ages 9 & 11. I did not want to tell many people, so now I may have to tell my mother in law, who will have to be on call to help out day 4 & 5. I will do that because I do not want to put my kids at risk if I am recovering & asleep & on pain meds. I also have to realize that I have to take help so I can heal.
He realizes it is important to me, I have been complaining about it for 3 years now. He finally said - "Just do it or I will never hear the end of it", but I am so jealous of the ladies who's husbands are taking a week or two off to help. He will help, but I know it will be stressful.
Hope all is well. I almost feel like lack of support is worse than the whole surgery thing. I also think guys are insecure & afraid of us becoming hot babes & leaving them. I am doing this for myself & only myself. The scar will heal. The scar is much more attractive then the wrinkly saggy granny skin!

Hey Madison5269, my husband did not take off of work, and my kids were 5,7,14. 16, the kids helped as much as they could too, I didn't tell a whole lot of people, but my closest friends, the one drove me & my youngest to preschool, cause I couldn't drive, the only negative thing I ever heard was from my husband, but he wasn't supportive until he realized I was doing it with or with out him! so he wanted to have control so he choose to be involved, guessing it made him feel like he was calling all the shots.. whatever works for him I guess. I am a very head strong person, so I don't feel I NEED him or his support, of course its nice to have, but his lack of support would of just cause resentment... I haven't changed, maybe a little more confident, but I am a very modest person and THAT did NOT change, so although I feel better about my body, I don't feel different just more like my body matches my personality! if that makes sense!

Today is my pre-op, and I am on an emotional roller coaster, and apparently so is my husband, think mine is due to my husbands, cause I was fine until he called with a bunch of questions. Now I am once again 2nd guessing my decision. This is such a full range of emotion, I can't wait for it to be done!
