I have had consultations with two surgeons. The first was referred to me by a gf who had her BA with him. He told me he refused to combine breast lift, implants, and tummy tuck in 1 surgery because the results wouldn't be that great. I was quoted 27k for the lift and tummy tuck and a second surgery with implants. Hmmmm, no????The 2nd surgeon I have had my eye on for years and he told me it was outrageous that surgeon 1 wouldn't do all procedures in 1 surgery. He was probably trying to scam me out of more $. Surgeon 2 wasn't really a people person but that's not important to me, his work is. His reviews were high and I liked his work better than any other surgeon in my area. He quoted me $17,500 so the next week my husband called the office and paid for it all as a Christmas present to me???? My pre-op appt is Jan 23rd and if everything goes well I'll be on the table on Feb 5th! I will post pictures tmrw morning, I just got home from work????

I workout 4-6 times a week. Weights, classes, cardio, etc. However, most of us know that no matter how hard we workout or diet our saggy breasts, skin, and stretch marks will never go away. I hate the skin flap "apron" I have while sitting, it absolutely disgusts me. I am covering an ugly tattoo I got when I was 17 (at 17 I thought it would deter me from ever having babies ????).

I find myself "nesting" much like I did before all my children were born. I have been cleaning, organizing, disinfecting, prepping, and I even steam cleaned my carpets! I received a few of my post surgery essentials in the mail today. Compression garment (my god is it ever tight), from hook bra, scar therapy, arnica and bromelain (for swelling and bruising). I also ordered protein powder, amino acids (to minimize muscle atrophy while recovering), gauze, tape, wipes, books, and antibacterial soap. I also moved a sofa into our bedroom but I think i'lI borrow my friend's recliner instead? I still feel so unprepared though! My husband will be taking off 2 weeks to take care of me. He was an EMT so he'll be fine with changing out dressings and cleaning me up, etc. He's truly a saint <3
