After three cancellations, I finally made it to my consultation :-). The office staff were very nice and I was quickly attended too. I waited momentarily for Dr. Li and I must say she is a compassionate lady with some great bed side manner. I explained what i wanted and she didn't rush me as I told my story, I loved her beautiful mannerisms. After our consultation I meet with Libby her scheduler/office manager and she was amazing too. I never felt rushed or like the bazillion questions I was asking were dumb. I feel so confident in Dr. Li and her staff that, I scheduled my appointment today. I am a bit of a spazz so here it goes...I figured if I could give birth naturally (not one drug) to 4 of my five children, I could do this, right??? -_- My soccer mom, Baseball mom, Volleyball mom, Basketball mom, and team mom days are over now time for me!!

Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift- I Am a Ball of Nerves...
I did it, my procedure has been scheduled after sitting and thinking (dreaming) about ti for over 3 weeks...I know what a scary cat but after I had my consult, it got so real.... I really want to feel confident in my own skin again. I can do this right??? I seen two friends have a TT and one had a pain pump while the other choose not to have it and lord....The difference between the two recovery's was night/day....So I am choosing thankful Dr. Linda Li uses the pain pump for her patients. ANYONE ELSE SUPER SCARED about this???

Did you doctor give you anxiety medication for the night before and morning of? I am going in for my Pre-op next Thursday, I get it then...if not I might be a mess... I know its scary but the doctors have mastered these sort of surgeries, we will be fine. Having a good support system is key. I am excited to go on this journey with all sistas on here, its amazing.

Good luck to you. I'm 8 days po. Try to be calm. It's amazing how much anxiety and nerves we can brew up in our mind.
I think you are at the stage when you just want this over....I know I was. Take one day at a time. :)
My PS is totally against the pain pump. When I mentioned it to him he told me why he was against it. I'm not going to go into it because you have enough worry on your plate and obviously your PS is comfortable with it. All I will say is that I had Tylenol 3's that I alternated with Aleve and I was just fine. I stopped the T3s I think on day 5 and occasion take an Aleve. As was advised to me definitely stay on top of pain meds in the beginning. It gets a little better everyday. I am going in for my 2nd post op visit today. I am hoping he removes the abdominal drains and some stitches. I did take a T3 prophylacticly for that....I'm not crazy.
Good luck on your journey.

I just did it all 1/11/16- TT, revision to a previous augmentation (went to a firm C cup from a DD). Oral meds are all I did. Valium, Oxycontin an percocet. I skipped paying the extra $500 they wanted to charge for the pump. First three days were icky then I did a 180. I figured if i could do three C-sections and donate a kidney, I could do this - AND I DID. So happy. Saving my $500 for my skin treatments...lol

Yay, glad you did it! You're going to love your results just be prepared to go through a few bumps in the road, we have all had them but remember attitude is everything. Welcome to the flat side sista!!

I have my pre-op appointment this Thursday, December 10. I have a list of questions ready to ask my PS I'm also asking for some anxiety meds for the day before and morning of, any recommendations? I don't want to be that woman that runs out of the PS office before we start the surgery LOL... I'm a ball of nerves.
I have been on this forum for a few months now and it has really helped me with my fear of doing the surgery, thank God I found this site ...
I am sharing some photos finally ????
