I cant wait for my procedure! Im getting a BA and TT. Ive always had small breasts and a pudgy belly but after having a baby over 3 years ago my belly is never going to be flat! Ive slowly lost 80 lbs since my daughter was born, and Ive kept it off! Ive always told myself that if I got the weight off I would reward myself with this! I go for my consult feb 26 but ive already scheduled my surgery for the friday before spring break (I work full time and go to school half time) I went ahead and scheduled it because I didnt want my day to be tKen otherwise id have to wait til after May. Im nervous but ive had 2 abdominal surgeries before an appendectomy and a c section but Ive had nightmares lately that ill wake up paralyzed during the surgery and feel everything but unable to tell the surgeon :-( but im still soooo excited

Im have a consult with a second dr wednesday. It will actually be my first consult, though ive already set my surgery date with dr ratliff. Ive just heard a few things about him from women who have gone to him, that he loses his nice guy attitude after the surgery and he has your money and that makes me uneasy. I need to know that if I have complications hes going to be nice about it lol! Im sensitive already and from what ive read im going to be emotional post op so I dont need anyone to be a jerk to me. I may still end up going to ratliff but idk. Im also worried about getting both surgeries at once now bc ive been told im going to be miserable. So confused right now I really want this but I also need to be able to work and take care of my kid!

Another note, I smoke :-( disgusting I know but im trying really hard to kick ot completely by feb 15th, that gives me one month smoke free before my surgery. Im so scared by the risks that come with it, almost to the point to where I cancelled my surgery....does anyone know whether a month off cigarettes will be enough? This also motivates me to finally quit, after numerous failed attempts.

I was a smoker too, I also was told that I needed to stop 2wk before and 3wk after a mm.....I think if u really want to have the surgery you can stop I even gave myself 3wk before setting my date I have been smoke free for a month now my extended tt and breast aug was on 2/1/13 ...you can do it :)

Fantastic! Congrats on your surgery. How much did you smoke before? I usually smoke between half a pack to a full pack a day depending on whats going on, so Im a little nervous that it will effect my surgery even after quitting weeks before since I smoke so much...
