185lbs, 5'4 in Michigan. Fat flap is gone

I learned of a plastic sugery center from my hair stylist, she had a full TT and Lipo at age 60, two yrs ago and looks wonderful, I've been interested in a TT since the birth of my son in 1991, I hope to have some shape to me, my waist and hips measure 47 round with only a half inch difference between them, and my thighs are 20inch around, so I'm very middle heavy, I'm nervous about the surgery, but only about the pain and recovery, I have to be back to work after Labor Day, I've been told it will be NO problem to return and should be feeling fine. I've been researching for months now and feel I'm ready.

It seems around 80% of the people that are my size 14 to 20, depending on the brand, but mostly a size 16-18 have great results. I will be happy to get down to 175lbs and be able to fit into a 14-16, with comfort. With having small thighs and calfs I'm surprised I can stand up straight without falling over on my face.

I'm doing this for myself, my better half has told me that I'm fine just the way I am, but I have a feeling he will be more hands on after all this work is said and done. I also get sore under my fat flap after a big ride, I know it's from the sweat that gets under it. (YUCK) We did a 5 mile bike ride yesterday and today we are going to the park to BBQ and do a 5 to 10 mile ride, I will miss our biking together for the next 6 weeks or so, but I should be able to start riding again just in time for the lovely fall colors we have here in Michigan.

I picked up the puppy pads that I read in a story for my recliener and my bed, so that I can keep my furniture looking great without stains, I hope I don't leak much.
