Hey ladies! I am scheduled for a "mommy makeover"...

Hey ladies! I am scheduled for a "mommy makeover" on Oct. 4th and the sad part is that I have never had kids. I have been obese my whole life and about 6 years ago I went from 232 to 190, then gained back up to 215 and then 2 years ago I got serious about my health and now weigh 155 with lots of excess skin. I never had breasts despite being fat, all of my weight was mostly concentrated in my abdomen. So I will be going from a small A cup to a full C. This is what i have worked my butt off for and it's surreal that my surgery date is just weeks away.

Congrats on losing all that weight. You sure do deserve this. And there are several other ladies getting "mommy makeovers" who aren't mothers. Here's a thread going where you might be able to connect with a few others.

I am busy getting all my things together and ready for the big day which is in 2 weeks. I have stopped taking my fish oil supplements today. I got my wedge pillow in the mail yesterday. I only have 4 more days of work until surgery so the rest of my time is going to be spent backpacking with my hubby and getting things ready around my house. I have all of my prescriptions filled and most of the little things in a box ready to go. My PS is about 3.5 hours from where I live so I will be staying in Portland for about a week after surgery and then I will just have to drive back and forth for my post op appointments. It's getting real and I am so excited to have it done. I'm off to the gym now, trying to lose the last 3 pounds to get to my goal weight of 150. That's all for now :)

Today is 1 week and 2 days until surgery. I am excited, anxious, nervous and ready to get it over with. I am "nesting" today. I am cleaning everything from top to bottom. My husband and I just went backpacking for 4 days, I knew it would be my last trip of the year and I wanted to do as much as I could before I am couch-locked. I'll post some before pictures soon. Nothing really to report. I have to work my last 4 12 hour shifts this weekend and then we'll leave Wednesday for Portland (3 1/2 hour drive). I have to be at the surgery center at 6:45 am on Thursday and I believe my surgery is at 8am. We decided on 421 cc silicone implants and since I am starting with basically nothing it should make me about a full C cup. I just hope that they aren't too big. I'm sure that is most women's concern before surgery. Anyway, I'll probably post more as I get closer.
