Hi I too am scheduled end May in NY for exactly the same procedures as you. I'm 40 and have had 3 c-sections. I am so nervous about being in surgery for 5 hours, but I took the decision that its best to get everything done in one go rather than having 2 operations. I'm told some people say the recovery is slightly easier than a c-section just hope that's the case! Which doctor are you using? I decided to stay in a hotel with a nurse overnight, the thought of going home the same day just freaked me out! Good luck!

Wow see when I had my daughter I had natural both , I heard that it is better if you have previous had a c-section because they can cut you from the same incision . I am having my surgery @ Mount Sinai hospital in manhattan. I'm so fortunate because my mom is a nurse so she will stay with me after surgery. I know two people that had the procedure done and they said it feels like recovering from a c-section. I don't know but I amm soo excited to get rid of this awful stomach I have and finally get 2 wear tight shirts.LOL.. I also am so glad that I will have some breast finally.when is your date for surgery and where are u having it at???

That's how I feel am sick of looking terrible in my clothes. I'm having it done at Manhattan Ear Nose & Throat hospital where the majority of plastic surgery is done from what I hear, on 3rd June. How lucky your mom is a nurse!

Technically, you're having what's called a Mommy Makeover: which is when you have a tummy tuck with breast work. You might want to check out that community as well. I hope all goes well for you in May!

Congrats on quitting smoking! That's a really big deal.
