WORTH IT$8,123
I am 5"4 and 210.. I have two children,my daughter is four and my son is nine.Currently in school full time and studying is my life.I can't fully blame the changes in my body on pregnancy.However it gave me a super pannus that I can't stand and some super huge tata's!! I'm a 40 H and they're severely ptotic..(What is a strapless bra?) :0/
I had my consultation on June 27th,2011 and I was super nervous! After much talk I planned a December date because I'd have a substantial amount of time to rest during my Winter Break from school. I later added an On'Q on my surgery notes to hopefully get real rest..lol
I have been battling weight all my life pretty much. 180-190pds. seems to be a reasonable weight range for me to maintain. I topped the scale at 252pds. a year and a half ago,this is my highest weight EVER. I lost 42 pounds and still working on losing more before my surgery day.
My family is so supportive of why I am choosing to do it because they have witnessed the shenanigans first hand. They are ready for a smile. So they know this will be a big deal for me and excited as well.I have a boyfriend who I've been with for 10 years. He's very supportive of my decision as well and it truly makes a difference. I told him this surgery is for him too..kinda like, uh,..a bonus or something.
The opportunity to feel as if my inside is matching my outside is a priceless feeling.Like many others,I'm tired of wearing armor to look halfway decent in clothes. They're extremely uncomfortable and only smashed my imperfections not contoured them.
I seen some inspiring reviews on here!! This surgery has been something that I've been wanting for YEARS. I just made up my mind said "I'm just fat and that's all,just except it,the rolls too." ,but now I have the chance to go for it..it has become real and I'm feeling blessed.
December is long away but I will utilize this time to condition myself for it.I'll post picture soon.. that's another emotional thing I have to overcome. :0P

I will definitely continue to update! And thanks! I truly dreading to have the surgery around Christmas time,but it will be the best time for me...it's the longest break I have. My family is supportive of it, so I will accept the blessing and take advantage of the opportunity!

I have to admit that posting the pics was a heck of a lot harder than I thought it would be!! Maybe humbling is a better term!
Best of luck!! December will be here before you know it!
This is a great place to gain knowledge and vent when you need to!!

@Cottonmomma~Yes it is very hard. I'm so used to piling on cloths to feel so-called comfortable.The thought of posting my picture bare is unnerving! lol Geez! Yes,December will be here before I know it. I was originally shooting for July 28th,but my school schedule made it a big fat "NO". My time to rest wasn't reasonable.
Once I did schedule the surgery for Dec. I was kinda disappointed because it was so far away.. since I was so stoked to go ahead and get it done right away.Now, I am understanding that this time I have between now and then is golden. There are questions that I have every so often and I have a chance to be reassured before showtime.
The reviews on here are priceless. Its nice to find a community that can give you an honest experience in addition to meeting others who share the same concerns as you do in a healthy way!

¸¸.•´°¤ SO.. my surgery is in exactly 3 months, 1 week, and 2 days! Very excited! I have a ton of school stuff going on nowadays so I know this will help with time. I am a studying somebody,I tell ya!!
The weather seems to be cooling off a bit around my side of town. Great news for me.. I hate the summer.Not the weather itself,trying to dress for it is the problem! I don't think I've ever truly owned summer clothes...since I was a little girl that is. Summer seems to be difficult for me for a number of reasons:
1. I hardly find anything "I feel" is made for my body type.
2. I'm forced to expose all my insecurities.
3. Having to combing through clothing stores to find cut stuff without butterflies,glitter,and weird subliminal designs! Or strangely constructed stuff with no shape to flatter ANYONE.O_o
I can go on forever 'bout that.
So bring on cold weather! I know I will change my tune after my surgery,but as of now..yeah that's how I feel about that. I'm in desperate need of some clothes in general though. Don't wanna go all out buying clothes right now since I'm still losing pounds and will have a new overall look later on.What to do,what to do...
Anyway,that's all for now.¸¸.•´°¤

The cooler weather in December I think is going to be easier than wearing a binder in warmer weather. I have my consult on Friday...hopefully I can get a surgery date for January, so I will be a few weeks behind you. If may ask, where are they doing the lipo? My inner thighs are so flabby I wonder if that can be combined into a Full TT with BA/BL surgery.
September 11, 2011
Hi OC_Girl.. I'm getting Lipo on my hips and flanks. You will need to ask your surgeon if you are able to have that added onto your surgery because everyone is different and so is the judgement call with various Plastic Surgeons. One will say no another may say yes..so..idk. Ive heard of all of these procedures done all together,but the down time changed significantly with some of these folks. Make sure you ask him/her what all of your options are regarding your concerns so you will feel informed when you leave. That way you'll have a realistic attitude when leaving and have a choice of what you live with or without and address later if needed! :0) Lemme know how it goes!!!

Oh, good for you! December is perfect because it gives you time to shed a few more pounds, if that's what you're after, and adjust psychologically to the idea. Please keep us posted on how you're feeling! And congrats on the 42 pound weight loss. Nicely done!
