My surgery date is 4/9/13. I'm getting a tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation (memory gel silicone unders) lipo of my flanks and back. I am having so many mixed emotions. I have wanted this for years but now that I have scheduled it I am scared to death! The thought of going under anesthesia for 5 hours frightens me. I have had surgery 3 times before and everytime I have had a rapid heartbeat. I'm not sure if I should risk it again. My head says no but my heart says do it !Also I am still confused about what size implants. My PS said 400cc's would look good for me actually have to have one 375 & the other 400, got some lopsided stuff going on.

Anesthesia fears are really common. Here's what some doctors say about that. Hopefully you'll find some comfort in their words.

Please keep us posted throughout your process!

I hear ya! I'm excited, yet terrified. Been wanting this for a long time and finally decided to go for it and wham, the anxiety is here! This site is helping though. Getting to see the results of others is really motivating. I'm scheduled on the 11th, so we are going through this together! I am torn between 350 and 375cc Sientra moderate profile and having a mini TT. I just posted pre-op pictures today. I look forward to going through this journey with the support of everyone here. Have you started a list of supplies you'll need for after?

I'm a list maker, so I'm getting my list all put together. Once I have it pretty well nailed down, I'll forward it to you. They also have some lists on here.

My surgery is in 9 days! I am sooo excited and nervous. Had my pre op appointment the other day and we decided 375 cc s for the left breast and 425 for the right. Silicone moderate profile unders. I will be having my procedure done at a hospital and staying for 2 days. I have been eating so unhealthy for the past 2 weeks. Maybe nerves? I usually am very healthy and workout dailyly so I'm not sure what's going on. I just can't wait to get to the flat side!

I have been eating differently too. Not horrible, but not great. Since my marathon, I haven't done a thing either. I know I'm recovering, but my arms and abs are feeling mushy. I think it nerves! Plus, my 8 year old is on spring break, so I'm home all day with him. Need to sneak out for a,run before hubby goes to work tomorrow. Maybe lift some weights when I get back or ill be a marshmallow after surgery. Ill be watching for your updates. You're 2 days before me.

8 more days! I cannot believe how fast time has gone by. I thought i would never get to where i am today. I'm still having mixed emotions. The worth it ratings are always positive and people usually say they would do it again in a minute, but I'm still so nervous! I wish i could fast forward time to a few days after the surgery. My husband works in another state and he will be with me at the hospital for the 2 days i will be there but after that I'm on my own. I'm hoping i can handle things on my own and not be in to much pain. I'm sure some of you have done it own your own. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make things easier when your taking care of yourself?
