Hello Everyone!!! I have been following this site...

2 months pre

Hello Everyone!!! I have been following this site for a few months now and now that I am getting closer to my surgery date I thought I would join because the support on here seems amazing.

So a little about myself, I am an RN and 26 year old mom of two beautiful children (my son is almost 3 years old and my daughter is 11 months) and I am getting a tummy tuck, breast lift and breast augment with 500 cc high profile silicon implants. I am 5'7 and currently 129 lbs but I am hoping to be down 5 lbs more by surgery day. I have had my heart set on doing this surgery since my first pregnancy as I got a huge amount of stretch marks because I put so much weight on with my son. Plus I breastfed both of my children so all I am left with is two flaps of skin. I have been working out 6 days a week and lost all my pregnancy weight but I still cannot manage to get my stomach flat and I think I still look pregnant from the side. My husband is incredibly supportive and thinks I am beautiful the way I am but he wants me to do what makes me happy but I secretly think he can't to see my breasts big and perky again. I have family coming to help me with my children for 2-3 weeks following my surgery but hopefully I will be able to manage after a week or so, I really do not like being a burden to others.

My surgeon is going to be Dr. Feng Chong and thus far he has been amazing. He is super friendly and is completely honest with what I can expect for results from my surgery and he is available all the time for any questions that I arise. His staff are also very friendly and the atmosphere in the office is very comfortable.

Great review?

Hello from another fellow Canadian! I am from northern BC but will be having my surgery on Oct 18th in Vancouver. I'm so excited! Best wishes to you! :)

readyfornewme 27 Aug 2012

Hello Hello, our surgery dates are so close together!!! I know I am so excited too, I just want Oct 11 to be here so bad!! I am having alot of anxiety about the scar length so I wish the procedure could be over so I can see my results lol. Best of wishes to you too, we should keep in touch. Take care and best wishes!!

Mom3lovebugs 27 Aug 2012

My scar length will go around my whole body so I definitely have a lot of anxiety too! The days are going by fast... school starts here next week and I am looking forward to getting back on a schedule in all aspects of my life. I am kind of an impatient person so the waiting game does suck but soon enough both of our surgery dates will be here. I look forward to chatting to you more throughout this process! :)

readyfornewme 28 Aug 2012

I can't wait to see your results, you are going to look amazing after!!! I am very impatient person too, I have complete Type A personality lol. It will definitely be nice to get back into your routine and then that will make the days go by even faster :) Take care and have a great long weekend.

ssorenson 26 Aug 2012

I'm in Edmonton as well. Just starting to check out my options. :-)

readyfornewme 27 Aug 2012

I only actually went to Dr. Chong because his reviews are amazing and his before and after photos are very impressive. His bedside manner is also great and he is super friendly and very realistic on what I could expect from the surgeries plus he does not push procedures at all. Good luck and happy hunting :)

ssorenson 26 Aug 2012

Hi just curious what your total cost is?

readyfornewme 26 Aug 2012

Hello ssorenson, my total cost is $24000 which includes breast lift, breast augment and tummy tuck. But my surgeon if you book more then one procedure you get a discount on the other procedures :) Hope this helps. Are you getting MM in edmonton?

gingerspice 26 Aug 2012

Hi Readyfornewme.....I had a MM too, but no implants. Glad to know you have someone helping w/ the kids. When is your surgery? My hubby finally saw my perkiness last night...he was excited in his own man way. Keep us posted!

readyfornewme 26 Aug 2012

Hello Gingerflowers, your results are amazing from you MM!!! You must be thrilled!! My surgery is October 11, so close but so far away it seems like. I was thinking of just doing the lift but my surgeon said that after the lift I would probably be a small B cup and I was hoping for something a little larger. I am glad to hear your husband is happy with the new boobs lol :) I am a little scared with getting implants because I do not want to look fake just more improved and my surgeon assured me the size won't be too big for me. That's awesome that you are already exercising again, I hope my recovery is as good as yours :) Happy healing and take care!!

gingerspice 27 Aug 2012

Thank you ready readyfornewme. I am getting happier day by day. Its a tranition period. Wed, I go for my month consult, lets see what the Doc. says. I have sutures poking me at the end of my breast scar, and now just a few from my TT...its bothersome. I feel tightness in my chest sometimes, I know its an adjustment. IDK about the life and size thing. My PS said if I was comfortable w/ size thn a lift would do wonders. Yes, I am smaller (went from 40d-38dd to 36c??) but wow, the difference is amazing and I dont regret it at all. Just listen to your heart. This is a life altering experience and you dont wangt to second quess what you do. For me, implants wasnt about the money, it was about making my breasts look better, sometimes lifts do that w/o implants. And of course, your recovery will be amazing :)

readyfornewme 27 Aug 2012

I am so happy for you that each day gets better, you have such a positive attitude:) Hopefully your doctor can do something about the sutures that are bothering you because that would be very uncomfortable if they are poking you all the time. I have read that the tightness in the chest eventually starts to loosen up and eventually goes away so hopefully it will get better soon!! 36C is a nice size (thats what I was before I had children and I want to be close to that size when I'm done) and your breasts look great in a non perv way lol. The other reason I am getting implants is because I have almost no fullness left to my breasts and they are literally just flaps of skin. A few months ago when I went for my first consult I did not think I would need implants because they were still full looking just saggy but since I exercise 6 days a week there is nothing left. Thank you, I hope my recovery goes well, I really am preparing for the worst so anything better then that will be a bonus :) Good luck on your dr. appointment on Wed!! Take care.
