I have had three children via c-section (ages 10, 4, and 18 months) and after dieting and exercising for close to a year have lost all the weight from the last child and along with that weight went my boobies. They are deflated and I don't even fill out a B cup WonderBra. I went to another doctor and was so happy to find Dr. Hopkins! He and Robert and the rest of his staff were so informative and helpful to me and my husband as we were there for the consultation. They answered all of our questions and then some. It was comfortable and he was light hearted and had a sense of humor. We never felt rushed and took as much time needed to try to determine the size that I was comfortable with. He also made another suggestion to fix the small problem I have with the extra skin hanging over the scar from my c-sections, instead of a more invasive procedure like a tummy tuck. I am excited and a little nervous but comfortable knowing that Dr. Hopkins and his staff will take great care of me! Keep you posted!

I am so curious to see your after shots! I am planning a BA soon. I am 32 yrs old and am the same height and weight as you. SO Excited for you!! How do plan to not pick up your children while recuperating? I have 2 little ones as well.

I am really excited, but a little nervous as well. It is going to be so hard to not pick up my little ones just because I love to grab them up and cuddle them or play with them in silly ways. I am lucky that right now I have my husband home for a period of time to really help me out. I also have the 10 yr old that will help out some too. I am going to put a stool next to the couch so the littlest one can crawl up more easily on his own to get into my lap. I will also try to just swat down for hugs and get on the ground more with them to be near them. It will be hard though. Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you and thanks for your interest. Good luck.

So today I had to go into the office to swap out my prescription for my pain meds and they were so wonderful with this and other questions I had. I have had a problem with some pain meds in the past making me really sick and they were completely sympathetic to my situation and wanting to make sure I am taken care of. I also confirmed that I am getting 375cc Mod+ Mentor. I had gone back and forth between 350cc or 375cc. I am confidant in my choice to go with 375cc.

I read that between 350 & 375cc there's not a significant difference. Can any of u gals clarify that for me. TY

There really isn't to much of a difference. My nurse compared it to a children's medicine cup that is like the measurement of about 4 tsp. But they also told me that more often than not most people tend to wish they would have gone bigger, so if you are stuck between 350 and 375 then I would go 375. I was personally stuck between 350 and 400 and decided to go 375cc which was the middle. I am happy with the results. Hope that helps!

Being Active While I Can

I am usually very active by running 2 miles three times a week, doing ab/core exercises 2-3 times a week and also taking my large dog for walks for 20 min a couple times a week. I am doing as much of these things as I can now this last week and a half as I was told that these activities will have to be discontinued for 4-6 for my recovery from surgery. I will miss it as it helps me to have the energy to keep up with my three kiddos. I think my dog is going to be the most upset though.
