Nervous but VERY Excited - Maryland

ORIGINAL POST

I have 4 (5full term preg) very wonderful,...

KAMGFebruary 24, 2011
WORTH IT$13,800

I have 4 (5full term preg) very wonderful, beautiful children, 16,14,7,5... I have been waiting 15 years for a BA, and 5 for my TT. I nursed 3 of my 4, and had an emergency c-section with my last. I have stretchmarks up past my belly button, and have some skin that hangs a little over my c-section scar, my boobs have always been small, but now they sag some too, just want to be up & a little bit bigger to fill out a shirt/dress/bathingsuit comfortably... I have been exercising and getting very frusterated, until I went to a consult and all 4 dr's said the same thing... it's not going to change :(

so... here we are and now

I am anxious every way possible, and actually wish it were sooner to get it over with.
Praying that she has a cancellation :)

My family & friends are being very supportive with the exception of my husband...Not sure I have much to say about that :)... happy it is scheduled

Good luck! I'm sorry that you're having to wait, but it does give you time to get ducks in a row, do research and get mentally prepared. I am having mine done Monday. I'm nervous, but the excitement is actually taking over! My stretch marks go up almost to my breasts also - so I totally know what you mean and I only had 2!! Good luck and keep posting - it'll help you get everything off your chest!!

Thank you, and good luck to you too! I am ok with waiting, it does give me more time to make meals and such, I think my husbands lack of support is causing unnecessary anxiety, but I have a great group of friends that are being very supportive and therefore making up for his lacking, still doesn't take the place of my husband/best friend loving me unconditionally!!
I do wish you luck and my thoughts will be with you this week as you heal!!! :)

I'm sorry your husband isn't being supportive. Remind him that he'll benefit from the results, too. Please keep us posted on your journey. Not much longer now!

Thanks Angiemcc, he is afraid he won't be 'happy' with the results because he doesn't see a need and loves me the way I am... yadayada.. I know he loves me, well I did until he has really not spoken to me since I actually scheduled my appt... feeling love is on the condition I do what HE wants these days... it's good I will be fine, and happy to have this site to help & feel supported!! I am getting my house in order (less for him to do) and will start cooking meals to freeze soon as well... so time is good, but I am watching the calendar :P
Thanks again for the support.

Thats to bad about your husband, you have, all of our support! Taking control of your body is very important and if exercise doesn't fix what you want what else can you do other than this, he should understand that, you had his babies! (I mean, I think you had his babies:) ) Good luck and keep us updated! Cat

LOL thanks cittycat... yes his babies... :)
however that is more a reason, in his mind anyway to stay the way I am... however I have wanted BA way before I ever met him, the TT was due to our youngest with the EMER C-section...
whatever, I have come to the conclusion that this is FOR ME... and his 'anger' stems from his fear of what is going to be later... he has heard way too many horror stories that woman leave after surgery... he doesn't get it... it's gonna be all good, and yes I have had MANY friends offer to drive me, come take care of my kids, family is around... and this website which is awesome.
Thanks again & I will

OK, we have made improvements, he is speaking to me and we are back to 'normal', at least until the topic comes up again,or MAYBE, he has just come to the realization/conclusion I am just going to do it regardless of his pouting... Thanks ladies for the support, and I am still very excited!! can't wait!!
still hoping for a cancellation :)

Becoming extremely nervous, considering what all...

KAMGMarch 11, 2011
Becoming extremely nervous, considering what all could go wrong, wondering if I should really do this! Also worried about the recovery AND It's a lot of money!
And he is 'pmsing' again, not speaking to me not sleeping, which is stressing me out even more, although I TRY not to let it get to me and I def don't let him know it gets to me... but it doesn't help me & my nerves... wish he was more understanding, and willing to be my friend through all of this...
