6 week update
In total I have lost 13 lbs. I haven't been dieting and haven't exercised, but have followed the 80/20 rule of watching what I eat. I am excited to be going back to the gym and hope to lose another 25 lbs by the end of the year.
I ordered a bunch of size medium shirts from Venus, they fit great, a few were too big. I am able to fit so many more clothes now. My breasts are still taped up. The incisions are healing nicely, the larger boob has a longer incision, I hope it will start to fade. The nurse said the tape is kept on to help the incisions flatten out. But when the tape starts to fall off
I can use vitamin e oil.
Also I slept on my stomach a little last night. I'm still more comfortable on my back (even though I am a stomach sleeper). I don't like the pressure on my boobs, especially the left incision. Will give a photo update tomorrow!

Provider Review
I evaluated several doctors. A few who specialized in BBL, some who seemed like plastic surgery factories and settled on Dr. Ashraf after a personal recommendation from a doctor friend of mine. She had hers done there and she highly recommended her. Also had another acquaintance who went to the same practice so I feel pretty good about going. All the other surgeons were booked out months in advance but I really wanted to get this done while the kids were away for the summer and things were slow at work. I was able to get an appointment for the next week, score! While there, everyone in the office was so sweet. Dr. Ashraf spent 20-30 minutes talking with hubby and I. She wouldn't take me down to a B but I'm going to try to beg her the day of surgery. She is a mother as well and sitting down with her felt like we were old friends. Immediately both hubby and I knew she was "the one". She operates out of Northside, I like having a hospital there in case something goes wrong. She was so excited and said, "You are going to love your new boobs." Her excitement was catchy, I went from being fearful and afraid, to looking forward to it.
