Hi all!,

I have not forgot about all of you. I wanted to send my update. I had the MM on march 22nd. Unfortunatley, I had complications. My surgery went over about 2 hours because they couldnt stop the bleeding.Having said that, I also have had complications with my right areola. The doctor doesnt know why, but I may need to do some skin grafting. Everything else looks great!, But as many of you know Ive been a little depressed. Hopefully, my areola will heal and I won't need the skin grafting. My nipple is fine but just the areola is taking a very long time to heal. My doctor removed 7 pounds from my stomach, I had a breast lift and implants ( 425 on the right breast and 475 on the left). I also had lipo on the flanks. I had 6 drains and never swelled. I think the drains helped the swelling. But, what is with my posture? It looks like I need a butt lift! I dont know when my posture will come back! Anyone had this problem? Obviously, im not standing completley staright up yet. Im just wondering when will I be able to? Also, My appettie is so different, I get full very fast, and have lost 10lbs since the surgery YEAH!. Ill update soon, thank you to everyone who has posted, Im embarressed about my right areola, but hopefully posting this difficult time may help someone.

4 days till surgery. I thought that Id be more into buying everything and getting the house ready. But, my mood since last week has changed. I went shopping and even though I had a list, i forgot alot of things. I wanted to have all my supplies already, but Im going today to finish it up. I feel very cloudy headed since I quit smoking. I feel scattered and not prepared. But, I guess you cant completley prepare for something like this. Ive lost 7 lbs in the last 2 weeks from walking , which is good. And Im trying to get enough courage to post my pix. Anyway, thats my update today, not exciting, hopefully ill feel better tomorrow

Congrats on the weight loss and that you quit smoking! That's great! I think it would be hard right now to be fully focused on everything. There are so many things we have to prepare and a lot of things we don't even know we will need. Good luck and remember with the pics we are all here for the same reason and its to help not judge. Hope everything goes terrific for you!

Are you ready? I can hardly function I'm so nervous.
March 20, 2012
NO, usually I can't sit still when Im nervous, but this is different. I spent time with all my kids today. Their on spring break, so we just vegged around and rented like 5 movies today. Guess Ill be tying up all my loose ends tomorrow. YOU?
Im glad you posted your pic. im gonna see if I can figure out how to. Im not a very big computer/ camera person. Good luck if we dont post. I have a feeling ill be out of it for a few days.

HI! I'm having my MM this Friday! Super excited!!!

You had asked if anyone with lots of breast tissue is having a BL and Implants... I am! I am a droopy, shapeless 36D and I am having a lift and implants to fill in the breast space and to create shape. My goal is not for larger, but for fuller, firmer shapely breasts.

Good luck!!! Speedy and easy recovery!
