Well, I am the mom of 6 beautiful children. And like everyone else, it has done a number to my body. Though I look at the stretch marks, loose skin, protruding tummy and saggy breast as tattoos of what they all mean to me. I could have worn these tattoos forever but I have another love...my hubby. He is such a great man, he deserves a hot wife. So when I flippantly suggested years ago having surgery and he said do it, it sat in the back on my mind.
Now, that I know I can't have more children I am taking the plunge. So to start out I was doing this to look good for him, but then I found a PS. I started noticing women who had ps, looking at before and after pics and then I joined RealSelf.

My thoughts were "I'm going to look like that?? Really??" Oh, I am 5'5", 36B, 153 with all my weight in my belly. (People still ask me am I pregnant...tired of that). I probably don't put a lot of thought into the way I look normally but all of that has changed since my post op. All I do is stay on RealSelf and think about how my body might come out. I'm so excited. I really trust my PS. My spirit feels good when I'm at his office or in his presence. So I am just trusting God and him to restore my body. I'm having a full TT w/lipo, BA without a lift. 4 days...yikes

Uploaded some before pics. I realize now I don't really look at myself much. Its hard for me to imagine being cute.
Paid all my bills. Got my prescriptions filled. My good friends are cooking dinner for my family and I every day for the next 10 days. I've got good friends. No one knows I'm having plastic surgery, just hernia surgery and repair.
I'm scared/excited.
Well I guess I better enjoy sleeping in my bed. Only 2 nights left.
I hope I can sleep. Wish I could have a glass of wine. Sigh!

Good luck with your surgery! You will love the results! Are you going with Saline or Silicone, & how many cc?

MecuteReally

March 12, 2013

Thank you. I decided on saline, under the muscle. And I don't know how many cc because I told my PS I wanted a full D and he said he would take several different sizes and fill it up until he got me the look I was after. I just took him pictures of what I wanted to look like. I was a D when my breast were full and nursing so I felt comfortable with that.

Good luck tmrw. So saline is better than silicone?

MecuteReally

March 12, 2013

Well silicone feels more natural to me but since I have a lot of breast tissue anyway it wouldn't make a difference in my case. My doctor also informed me that saline if deflated goes naturally back into the bodies system but silicone does not. I didn't feel comfortable with that.

Headed to the hospital. Still in wow this is happening. Seems surreal.
Really wish I could use just a little lotion and deoderant. :)
Hopefully, I will have more time on here now that I can't work and I will be down for a minute. What a mom has to do to get a break....lol.
