I hope to have my body back!! I don't want to go...
$13,200
I hope to have my body back!! I don't want to go all out crazy. I have been debating this for years now and now it's happening this Friday! I have so much to do and have been preparing for weeks now! My all time high was 261 lbs now under 200 & 5'7. Super excited for Friday and very nervous at the same time! Do I have everything I need ready? will my husband be able to care for me and what I need after surgery? My kids who are 8 and 13 know but do they understand? How do I help them understand? I'm going with the 600cc, is this to big for my body? Should I go with the 550cc instead? There are so many more questions but this is what's going through my head. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

2 days away!!! OMG!!
Went yesterday and got my blood work done. That's the only thing that will stop this surgery for Friday! So nerve racking! The dr gave me a DVD which is great! It explains what to expect the day of surgery , what not to do 6 weeks prior to surgery which sucks for me as I just found out yesterday that surgery was confirmed for Friday! All these things online they tell you to do and what not to do is over whelming ! After watching the DVD it really helped answer most of those questions.

600s are HUGE for sure and you already have boobs, so you're going to be looking at some BIG changes. That said, I think going with 600s will balance out the rest of your body so you'll be more proportional. What does your PS think of the size? The difference between 550 and 600 is minimal so you might as well go big or go home - at least you won't have any regrets on not going big enough. I have 550s and they don't really seem THAT big bcz I started with zero boob. Hope you have all your supplies ready... I have a bunch of lists on my site for pre and post-ops (I'm 3mos out). Maybe you can find answers to your questions or at least settle some nerves by reading my blog. :) Good luck on your journey!

A DVD sounds so helpful! Here's a list I put together of pre- and post-op tips.
I will be thinking of you this weekend! Once you get through that things should be good. :)

Appointment with PS this Friday hope to get new surgery date!
This Friday I have an apt at 9am to retest and check my BMI. I will pass with flying colors. I just hope they can get me in ASAP for surgery. As I was scheduled for surgery almost 30 days ago and they had to postpone it. I'm not as freaked out as I was last time. My only concern is I want to be able to enjoy Christmas with my kids and family. So I hope they can get me in before. Hoping for the Monday after passing the test. I can hope. Still not sure about the size if the implants I want. The PS suggested 600cc. I see a lot of before and afters that look like me before and what I hope to after, however they don't post the implant sizes. I just don't want to look like dolly. Wish me luck

Why was your surgery post poned? This close to Christmas and I'm fairly certain that you're not going to feel like yourself for the holidays. This surgery takes a lot out of you and really drains your energy.

Oh wow! You're much smaller than I was, but I did end up having massive complications. I guess each doc has their own guidelines. :)
