Going to my Consultation Next Week (2/18/15) for Possible Mini Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation. Omaha, NE

Hi all!! Well due to a few financial hangups, I have chosen just to get the BA (only) at this time. Kinda sad, but hubby and I decided that I will go ahead and get the tummy tuck in the fall. Plus, the pic you see of my tummy (above), no longer looks like that. I have lost about 7 more lbs in that area due to lots of exercise. I am hoping to get down another 5 lbs before fall so I won't need lip and maybe have a chance at a mini tummy tuck instead of a full one. Guess we will see, right? :)

My BA date is 4/21/15 at 7am. I am super nervous and can't wait to get it done. I have decided to go with 350cc, silicone moderate plus, under the muscle.

I will have to update my photos again some day soon!!

Thanks all for responding!!! :)

Hi all!! This is getting real now, lol! I am scheduled to get a full TT and a BA on 4/22/15! I go to my pre-op appointment 3 weeks prior. My husband is very supportive of my wants and he went with me to talk with the PS (at consultation). I left the clinic planning for a "Mommy Makeover" but my hubby and I talked about the fact that I am actively working out and losing weight, so I won't need lipo (comes with the Mommy Makeover) once my surgery date is here. So... I called the clinic yesterday morning and told them to take me off the list for the Mommy Makeover and to just schedule me for the TT and BA. Now the question is.... should I get saline implants or silicone? Ugh... decisions, decisions. I am leaning more towards silicone due to the fact they look and feel more natural and there are no proven issues with silicone. Not to mention, a "silent leak" would be better to deal with than an rapid leak from saline. But... still not 100% sure which type of implant I will get as of yet. I am so nervous about the anesthesia, blood clots, and possibility of infection. My excitement seems to be over-riding the anxiety though, so that is good. I will just be happy to get rid of my excess belly skin and add some lift to my boobs!!

Hello all!... I am so glad that I found this site! Well... to tell you a bit about what brought me here, I have been on the heavier side of my ideal weight for several years. I am 43 years old and I have birthed 5 children, who range from ages 11-22 years of age. I am small-framed, so 5 lbs of weight gain is very noticeable on me; same with 5 lbs of weight loss. I currently weigh 125 lbs and I am 5ft 1in. I still look and feel heavier than I should be. My actual ideal weight should actually be closer to 115-117 lbs. Anyway, for my New Year's resolution this year, I was bound and determined to get into shape and lose a bit of weight; I want to look and feel healthy. Well, I have shed a few pounds over the past couple of months through working out and giving up my weakness... fattening desserts!! I am glad that I am losing weight and feeling more fit, but the more fit I feel/appear, the more unhappy I am with the loose skin. My breasts are also deflating, ugh! Now, I have gotten down to 100 lbs after all of my children, including my 5th and last. I hated the way my body looked at that weight, as I had sagging, deflated pancake breasts with what looked like oval distorted nipples. I also had really loose skin on the lower part of my abdomen. There is no way I will allow myself to get below 115 lbs in weight; I look sickly and gross. I want to be pretty close to where I am now in weight... maybe even 5-7 lbs lighter. Right now my biggest issue is my sagging lower abdomen (which is getting worse the more in-shape I get) and my deflating, sagging breasts. I am scheduled to see a PS here in town this coming Wednesday to see what I can do about my tummy and breasts. I am truly wanting to do a mini tummy tuck (skin only) and a breast augmentation (hopefully with no lift). I really want to love my body and I feel like I'd be so much happier and less self conscious if I had the procedures done. I am not going to lie though... I am deathly afraid of the surgery (general anesthesia and blood clots). I fear not waking up from surgery. I fear getting fatal blood clots, and I fear what kind of pain I will be in after surgery. I am so excited, yet so nervous and afraid. I love reading other people's experiences. It is nice to know that there is support for these kinds of things! :)
