Getting a bit anxious
sj1800January 18, 2014
Hi Ladies, thanks so much for the responses, I greatly appreciate it! I love this forum, because I get to read about all the ins & outs from people who have actually experienced it. Today I got word my insurance approved everything which is of course, what I want, but...there is a little part of me that is worried about the pain afterwards, & the chance that I might not be happy with the results, or I could end up with an infection or something like that. I am just going to keep praying that all goes well, & that this is the right thing for me. Thanks again for continuing to share your stories!

I had the same fears before surgery but once I woke up I realized that this was the best decision I could have ever made. There was pain and sometimes there are healing issues but in the end it's so worth it :-)

I was worried too, and that I was going to die. But I didn't. I breezed through it. It was painful but the drugs kept that under control. I was ok. I had some issues with healing but got through that too.

All normal feelings. I have had many surgeries and I woke thinking this pain isn't so bad....you will be amazed at how it will change your life for the better!

Overweight more noticeable after surgery?
sj1800January 6, 2014
As I mentioned & you can see from my pic, I've got a pretty good stomach in place. I'm wondering once I do the BR, is my stomach going to be even more noticeable? Of course of like to lose the weight, but as we all know it's easier said than done . I considered having WLS, but I feel it is to risky for me , so that leaves good 'ole fashion diet & e ex exercise. Did anyone feel like their stomach looked bigger after surgery? Dix it moti Ate u to lose the extra weight

I have found that my tummy is more noticeable post-op. I was very overweight prior to surgery and my breast hid my tummy but once I had my surgery there was nothing to hide my tummy :-)

I guess you feel so much better after the surgey that i woudn't think too much of the tummy. Yes it will stand out more, but maybe that is benefitial because you have more drive to diet and do something about it then now. I hope this strategy works for me too as i have read it here from a few other women too

I am prepared for the fact that post surgery, my tummy is going to look huge, but telling myself that it will be an incentive to lose a bit of weight and tone up. One step at a time I think. A lot of people find it hard to exercise before the BR which is ironic if they get told to lose weight.

Yup, tummy def more noticeable, have same issue. Working on losing some weight, and gonna have a tummy tuck to remove the flap left from c-section.

I'm 35 y/o a 38 J I'm 5'3 192 pounds. I worry a b/r will make me look fatter but I think ppl can see my fatness now, I just can't see it because my huge boobs hide the view. I say go for it. I have low disc problems too and now shoulder and neck pain all the time. I think being healthy and pain free is more important than looking slim. I'm trying to think this way but it's hard. Everyone wants to look nice :) best of luck.
