Hey all! I love reading all of your stories!! I am...

Hey all! I love reading all of your stories!! I am finally less than 2 weeks out for my mommy make over. I decided on no implants after wanting smaller boobies and talking with my hubs about it. He is not a breast man, so he said he would leave it up to me, but I decided that perky and smaller is more my style. I have been a EE (when prego) and now a solid D (and saggy) and would love to be a small C to a large B. I hope I am not making a mistake, but I can always get implants later if I want to.

I am 45 and had gastric bypass in Feb of 2012. I am within 10 lbs of my idea weight and just can't shed it...I have been at a standstill for 6 months (up 4, down 4) so I decided to move ahead with it.

I am nervous and excited at the same time! I know with kids I am double nervous about going under every time. I have made it out of a few surgeries in my life so I know what it's like!

I have had 2 c-sections and never had an issue, so I am hoping it's not worse than that (I know, I know-wishful thinking!!)...well, here are my before pics, and a list of things I have gotten and where I found the items. ANY OTHER advice on things to get before surgery would be helpful!!

Things I have ready....I would love more advice!!

* Reclining chair (both to stand to laying down)...got a deal on craigs list!
* Rubber elastic shower product (pinning the drains to it or at least holding drains while showering)
* Arnica (for bruising-from doctor)
* Around the chest shower/pool wrap (towel) for no arm hole dressing
* Granny panties (can throw away after surgery)
* Wine-Ok just kidding (but mayyybeee)..LOL
* All scripts already filled-CHECK
* Wipes (adult ones, for no showering for a few days) CHECK
* Recipes for my mom to make (and going shopping for groceries

Whoops hit send too soon! More stuff I have ready!! (LOL)

* Lot's of veggie frozen packs for the boobie healing!
* Milk of Mag-well, we know why!
* Stool softener-again, let's not discuss!
* Heating pad-lot's of back pain I hear-and it helps to move the bowels-again, not discussing!
* Movies
* New Gel Scar Cream-expensive, but hey, why not try it out?
* A pool boy-Just in case I need to go for a swim to relax (LOL)

More to come!!
