not sure if this is where I should be writing , but I will attempt. I will try to put as much info as possible. I am 39 years old, 4'11" currently 116 lbs and I do cross fit at least 2 to 3 times per week. I am mother of 4 girls( 6 months, 4,11, & 15). I have had one natural and 4 c sections. This last baby took a toll, i have a 2 inch space in my ab muscles and they will never go back, not to mention my ob/gyn left a terrible scar with excess fat hanging that I call "my left testicle" lol. So although I have always said I would do my boobs, it wasn't till my last baby that I knew a tummy tuck was necessary. In exactly 2 weeks i will have my makeover. All paid for and working on all other things needed prior to surgery. Purchased an old lady gown with a zipper I was told at pre op that it would be the best for after tt, and breast lift/augmentation. Tomorrow I will order the recliner to help me sleep since the bed will be an issue. I also have to order my meds and buy prune juice and milk of magnesium just in case. I am super excited to see a change, but so nervous! Surgery is surgery and the risks scare the daylights out of me. It's nice to neon this sight and know how common it really is. Until next time my ps friends.

11 days to go. Had my first mammogram last week to make sure I'm ok prior to surgery (all good). I am avoiding all medications as requested, specially my headache reliever Excederin. I am really hoping I get my period prior to D day cus although my doctor will operate regardless, i can not imagine anyone helping me with that issue too...yuck! I found out now we have a convention we must attend at the end of July, 6 weeks post op! Did I mention "beach resort"? Great! And I need to avoid sun, hmmmm. Will I be able to get in the ocean, pool, etc? Can i go to spa? Wow! So many questions.

Hello Mel44, welcome to the site, you will meet a lot of wonderful people on this site. Who is you doctor in Miami? How much is your surgery going to cost? Thanks for sharing!

Hi VMTimeForMe, thank you. After interviewing a list of PS (great ones too), I decided on Dr. Messa in Weston ($13,050). Did you have surgery? Who with?
