After 4 years old waiting I'm finally financially ready to do this. I visited 3 doctors and really liked Dr. Chad Tattinis office. I believe in his abilities, he spent quality time with me and gave me realistic expectations. His staff is wonderful!!
I am less than two weeks away from my procedures. I have only told my boyfriend and mother what I am doing. It's so hard not to feel judged.
I have been overweight my whole life. But after 100 pound weight loss, I need to finally complete myself by doing this. I don't want to ever be "the fat girl" again.
Good luck to each of us on our journeys. Thank you for posting and being here.

Oh, and I meant to say that I empathise with you - I lost 80 pounds and this deflated skin needs to go and my deflated boobs need to be perked up. LOL

Hello! Can't help myself, need to let you know..... who cares about the rest? You are what matters. I was 340 pounds, with that lost confidence, self-esteem, and my entire life I made sure others were happy cause no matter what I did, I was not happy with myself. When I had my daughter is decided to change my life, I put myself 1st, lost 170 pounds, and a year ago I started this journey, getting smart lipo, breast lift and breast augmentation, and improve not done yet... still have a tummy tuck pending. Be happy, feel your best, whatever and however you achieve that, there is nothing better than to feel comfortable in our own skin! Congrats and I hope this brings you what you're expecting!!!!

You so much for this! Feeling comfortable in my own skin is something I have never had happened before and I love the idea of it!!!
February 17, 2016
You will!!! Just be ready because a lot of emotional/hormonal stuff will happen, you will have days where you feel maybe like in my case "horrible", it's part of the healing process, I got a bit depressed at one point. Always remember "it's only a matter of time" you will have your best body ready for summer and you will feel so freaking sexy!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to get my TT...! You made the best choice we can ever make, as wife, mother everyone else always comes first, but not this time!!!!!! Can't wait to see you when you're all done!!!!!

I'm in the same boat. I've only lost 55 lbs though. 15 more to go. I'm thinking about having the tummy tightened and breast put back where they belong. Hope I have the courage that everyone on this site has.

You say ONLY 55 pounds, but that's HUGE!! That is life changing. And it took me 4 years to get to this point and I wish I had not waited. I have found the courage and inspiration I needed thru this site. Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks. I have been working on the weight loss for almost 2 years. I'm older than you, 50. Thanks for sharing your story. It's very encouraging. Hope you love your results.
February 22, 2016
Wow! Great job on the weight loss and so sorry about the loss of your 8 yr old son two years ago. I can't even imagine.You're so brave and strong being able to go through that and you deserve this. Everything will go great and you will be one sexy mama in just a few more days :-)

I am posting some before photos and woo-wee doesn't that just say it all!! Yee gads! I am really looking forward to this. I'm absolutely petrified tho!! What if it all goes terribly wrong?!? I have a teen son and lost my 8 year old two years ago and I need a massive change in my life. I'm so scared that i am making a choice that might cause health complications.
I just am going to let go and let God. That's all I can do, and trust that this path is good.

I'm starting to get very excited about this. I honestly have not been Trying to have any expectations. I just know that I have chosen this proceedure to better myself and I'm going to let go and let god. I am posting more tummy pics so that I remember where I've been and we I see the after photos I can see how far I've come.
I have a walker, front bra, maderma scar cream, palmers oil, a sit up pillow, arnica gel and straws. The doctors office said I really don't need anything, but I'm taking the recommendations from you all.

Out of all the bras I bought the Hanes Cozy bras have been the best. The front closure ones are too tight on me.They will be great for when I can wear anything because they are very supportive but my surgeon said for now nothing tight. I also bought a used power lift recliner off a craigslist for $100.00 which was a lifesaver.
My walker came in very handy too. I'm so excited for you!!

I hope all goes well with your upcoming surgery! I saw you asked the Doctors of this site their opinion if it is common to remove ALL breast tissue to achieve a specific result. Most of them said no, I was wondering what you were going with? Was it miss communication like many Doctors believed? Or is that just a technique you PS uses and will be using on you?
User Avatar
February 22, 2016
I chose a different ps. There was no miscommunication. It's how she preferred to do the surgery. She feels that eventually the real breast tissue will sag where the implant never will, therefore never needing a revision.
My current ps felt that revisions are necessary when the implant is too large for the original area. I didn't like the idea of being all implant.

Gotcha! Yeah it sounded weird to me too, especially after reading all the doctors that replied to your question. I'm glad you found someone else! Good luck on Thursday!
