I gained way too much weight when I was pregnant...

I gained way too much weight when I was pregnant with my first baby. Thankfully, I've lost 100 lbs since then, but now I have all this loose skin. I'm 5'9", 145 lbs, and all the surgeons I have seen said I don't really have much fat in my midsection. So, I don't think there's much else I can do to get a trim tummy without surgery.
So, I'm going for it! I'm getting my tummy tucked and adding the boobs too. I'm currently wearing a 34C bra, although my surgeon said I'm really a 38A (do they even make such a size?). I'd like to add a couple cup sizes or so.
My husband and I have spent the past year saving every penny I'll need for the surgery and we're all ready to go, financially. However, I live in a small, isolated city in Alaska and there are no cosmetic surgeons here, which means I will have to travel for the procedure. My family lives in Albuquerque so I'm having the surgery there and taking the kids with me. We'll stay a couple months so my parents can help take care of all of us until after my 6-week post op.
I am very nervous, but excited. My surgery is booked and our plane tickets are purchased. June 10 is my big day. Is this really happening?

43 days until mommy makeover and trying to decide on an implant size!

I have actually thought very little about this until now. I would think that somebody who has their breast augmentation scheduled would already have implant sizes in mind, but I haven't decided. My husband is very much a "boob guy" and I think he would be happy with as much as I'd be willing to get, but I'm more on the conservative side. I'm 5'9", 145 and very concerned about looking heavier. I was 245 at the end of my first pregnancy and I've worked very hard to lose that weight and maintain the loss even through my second pregnancy (I gained 30 lbs instead of 75 the second time around).
I've done the rice test with a couple different sizes, and right now I'm thinking 425 cc might be my magic number. Based on my measurements, that should bump me up 3 cup sizes. Does that sound at all right? I'd like my bust to measure 39 inches since that's what my hips measure.

Your measurements and numbers are pretty similar to mine. It'll help if you take a full body shot with a dress on, or something clingy (pix are also good for b&a shots - bcz you'll love comparing to the afters!). Going on measurements alone is hard to tell what'll look good or proportionate on you. Bigger is always better bcz after they've settled and after the swelling goes down... somehow we always want bigger! :)

I have a feeling I'll end up with 500s. My implants are going under the muscle too, which, as I understand, means you lose some of the volume? So I guess I need to consider that as well.

You will lose about 25cc's under muscle. Mine were 550 HP - so if you look at my pix, you'll see that they "stand" all on their own. I have no sag at all bcz 1) HP, and 2) I have little to no breast tissue/fat... ie. no "shadow" under my boob. haha. Not even if I wanted it! :p

Congratulation on taking this big step. It sounds like you have things well in hand. I suggest adding your surgery date to this calendar so you can get support from others getting their procedures done around the same time. Are there any questions you'd like answered to prep you for the big day?
