I am a mother of 3 grown children. I have always done for them and now I want to do something for me. I have been wanting to have a breast reduction for years. Now I got my approval and I'm feeling nervous about doing it. I think it is because I am also thinking about a tummy tuck.
A part of me is feeling guilty for wanting to spend money on that. I get so excited just thinking about how it would feel to not have big saggy breast and a hanging belly. Oh to be able to run and jump, it has been years. I know this is totally up to me. But tell me what do you all think.
This is my first post. I can really use some encouragement.

Welcome Coco! It is natural for us women/moms/wives to feel guilty for doing things for ourselves. But as you said, you have spent their lives doing for them and now it is time to do something for you. Plus what I have found is that I'm so much more active and better able to participate in my life...including my life with my kids...and they are benefitting from my increased confidence and ability. Good luck!

I want to hear from you ladies who have had breast reduction and tummy tuck at the same time. Is it normal to do this at the same time and is it really a 5-6 hour surgery? I am feeling nervous being under for that long. I'm looking for some of you to share.
Thanks in advance

My date has been confirm for 12/28. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. Just thinking about going under and scared I may not wake up. There, I said it. My fear is out, now I must confront it.
