Hello! I am finally starting my own blog after stalking this site for YEARS! I even had an appointment for a consult in 2012 but got cold feet and cancelled it- after my friend got a breast Aug last year and I did the "pencil test" and could walk around all day without it falling- I am going for it!

Why exactly do you need someone with you the first few days after sugery? I will have my husband there to bring me home and I am staying one night in the hospital but if I have surgery on TR- get home on FR and he is gone all day on SAT at a tournament do I NEED to have someone else around for those 6 or so hours? I am pretty self sufficient but I don't want to be stupid with this-

It's to assist you after surgery due to pain, being on pain meds, etc and (God willing they won't be needed) to make emergency decisions should something change during surgery. I have not had my surgery yet, but I had 3 hernias repaired at once which required muscle repair and I could NOT stand up straight for about 3 days. Even if you're not having any abdominal work it will still be uncomfortable or painful and you'll need physical assistance. I've read other cases on Just Breast Implants website where a few have gone without for their surgery and some have been fine though the rest have said it was very difficult.

What is the pencil test?
May 15, 2015
From a surgeons website: By placing a pencil beneath your breast and if your nipple hangs below the pencil when you sit or stand, then you may need a breast lift. If the nipple is above, increasing the fullness may correct this.

Losing weight before my consult
I have been really good this last week with my diet and working out but the scale has not moved ! ugh- I have a tight time frame to get closer to my goal weight before I meet with my PS for the first time in April- I am 5.5 and weight 179 as of today:( I really want to be closer to 150 when I have my surgery in April(very end) and final goal is 138 after everything- any tips on the best ways to lose weight other than good old diet and exercise(trust me- I am doing that!)- let me know~~~

Hello and thank you for sharing your story!!! I noticed a comment for protein shakes. If for some reason you don't like or cannot tolerate the shakes, I drink Isopure protein juice (you can get either powder or ready-made). I'm 5'7" so not much taller and I put off losing the weight from having my twins. They turned 3 years old October, 2014. LOL. I figured I had no more excuses. I started at 163 and used an app called Lose It. In 2 months I got down to 140-145 depending on the time of month. ;-) So maybe that might work for you. I'm moving back to WI because my husband got orders to go to Kuwait and I'd love to hear what you think of your doctor. I was thinking of surprising my hubby and have it done before he comes home.

USMCMPgirl- thank you so much for you tip- I really appreciate that- I will tell you that I have a lot of inside scoop on my Dr. and I have heard that his work is simply amazing- there are 2 other PS's in his group that are also really great- I have been on LOSE IT but switched to My Fitness Plan and I totally agree with you- it works!I will keep everyone posted on how things are going but I plan to lose at least 20lbs if not more before my consult in April:) then hopefully another 10 before my surgery at the end of April:)

For me it's watching the carbs ...... I tend to lose quite quickly when watching them

Swimming is the best way to lose weight. I swam every night for an hour and managed to lose twenty pounds in two weeks. I needed to lose weight right before my gastric bypass and wanted to do something that did not make me sweat profusely. Swimming has now become a way of life for me.

Oh my gosh- it's scheduled!
I got an email from my PS's RN(who is so great) stating that if I knew my date(I do) I should book it now because we would lose the time slot so I said go for it and we are booked- oh my gosh- I am so excited!!!!!!
So glad you are starting your story with us! Here's a list of pre- and post-op tips for you. Do you have a good support system to help you through this?
