WORTH IT$14,500

I'm a mother of two and with each pregnany I was over 200 pounds. I have an 8 year old and a 5 year old and the 5 year old was 9 lbs. I have always wanted a TT and begged my husband for 7 years. Finally our circumstances allow us to have this done. He really wanted me to get a BA and I must admit i was hesitant but after speaking to the doctor about a breast lift he explained that my breast would be smaller and recommended a BA. Its weird but I'm really excited about my BA. My girlfriend had hers done and they look great. I'm extremely nervous for the big day. Some days I feel ready and other days I feel like I want to not go through with it. I am extemely nervous and to be honest scared. The main thing that scares me is the TT. I've been reading a lot and from what you ladies have said the pain is manageable. Just need some guidance and motivation. Today is one of those days where I just dont know if I can go through with this. I will post Pics of my current profle. Wow feel better for letting my feelings out!

We're here for you! Vent all you want. This is a big step and it's good that you're not taking it lightly. The pain should be manageable with the right meds. If you're concerned make sure to ask your doctor how he's going to handle pain management for you. Keep us posted!

Welcome & congratulations on being able to finally do this for yourself! I found that I worked it up to be a scarier & more painful thing that it actually was. I just got back from my 3 week PO & am still slightly swollen just above my TT line, but I absolutely LOVE that I did this for myself!!! After my appointment, I went to Victoria secret & bought a gorgeous teddy that I NEVER would have worn before!!! Keep your eye on the prize & focus on that! We are all here for you!

Well I went to my pre-op and went really good. I saw my PS again and switched from Saline to Silicone. I'm going with 421 cc's. After the nurse, my PS and Hubby said they looked really good i went with that. I really liked the size and I'm happy I did. I didnt want to regret not going bigger. A few women that I have spoken to all said they wished they went bigger. I'm actually feeling pretty good about everything. I will have a Catheter and due to my fat tranfer to my bottom I will not be able to sleep on my back. Thats gonna be tough. I asked the lady how long would i have to sleep on my side and she said 2-4 weeks!!! Wowzer iI thought it was just for a few days!! I was freaking out for a bit. I told her what kind of pain in my gonna be in and she said with the percocet i will be out it! and i said Heck yeah thats what i want LOL! Now i just wait for the big day! Cant wait to be on the flat and perky side!

I am super excited and I'm starting to feel like I'm ready. Before i was scared but my PS and the staff really put me at ease. I was looking for you Blondie i know your up soon for your and I cant wait to hear from you since we are having pretty much the same procedures. I know your getting the catheter but what about sleeping on your side, did they mention that to you? and How are you feeling?
