Breast Augmentation, Full TT, Lipo to Thighs and Buttocks - Ohio

So I talked with my boss and she thinks it no problem to get the time off. Now I'm working on my loan and saving some money. Once the loan goes thru I will schedule my surgery. I look at tons of sites and try to image my new body. I know the risks and know it won't be easy. I never had surgery but have taken care of many post op patients. It will be weird to be on the other end of it.

Your Mommy Makeover is just 3 days after mine. We will be recovering at the same time. I think I am the only mom that is excited for the summer to be over and the kids to be back in school, that means it's time to get my new body(-: Yay! Keep me posted as time goes by, I can't wait to see your pictures.

Okay so it could be a bad or good thing that my surgery is not till Sept. You have alot of time to think if your just plain crazy for doing this or not. Spending all this money to feel good about your body. (or just better about it) It's hard as a mom (or just a women) to do something totally and completely for yourself. To be selfish for once. I am however excited for a tube top. I keep thinking what supplies I'll be needing post op. Split gauze, tape, binders, compression hose, betadine, etc, etc. I think my husband has no idea how much work he'll be doing while I'm recovering. So here are a few pics. I took them my self so that aren't great but and idea of what I look like.

You are so right, it does give you way too much time to go back and forth about it in your head. I have some of the same thoughts about spending all that $ on me when I have 3 kids, a hubby, and a house I could be spending it on, that's when the guilt hits me. But in 5 years it probably won't even matter and I will be glad that I did it sooner rather than wait 20 years and then decide to go through with it.

So I was at the local pool the other day and I seem to focus in on the moms with the bodies that are better looking then mine. It's funny that I could see they also needed a tune up if you will. Maybe looking at so many pics from surgery has made me think this way. I try hard to cover my body and honestly im not sure if I will ever wear a bikini even after surgery. It's really about me looking good for me. I would be happy with new boobs like Tomorrow, but am a bit nervous about a nasty TT scar. I've seen them years later n they look great but it's that 1st year or two that's horrible.

Okay so it took me about a week till I slipped my down payment in the mail, but I sent it. $3,000 I'm trying not to think of the risks and the nasty tummy tuck scar. I'm focusing on my long term outcome to reduce my anxiety. I've seen some great pictures of patients years afterwards and they look great. I was feeling bad about the money I was gonna spend, but I'm sick of feeling guilty about it. I take care of my family well and I think it will make me a better mom and nurse. Who knows maybe this will end up being something I will go into to help others. I have been reading up on wound healing and it's pretty helpful. If nothing else I will be able to relate to my patients better.

I have been buying lots of stuff for my recovery as well. I have never seen those gelzone wraps until I just looked them up, they look pretty neat. I did buy a couple kinds of silicone scar sheets, scar guard, and some other scar creams as well. I bought vitamins, colace, and gas ex. and still have a list about a page long that I still need to get. I feel like a pregnant woman nesting before the birth of her baby(-; It sounds like you may be nesting too. I thought September would be a good time to have this done, but I am finding out that with 2 kids going back to school and starting soccer season it will make for a pretty hectic time(-: I am glad we are in it together, I am so excited for you, it is so close now!

Yes, it's wonderful to know someone who's going thru the same thing.
