Planning a BR and TT. Although I've made some serious lifestyle changes, nothing will get rid of my big belly and droopy boobies!

I received my approval today! I'm so excited. My surgery is scheduled for April 18th. Everything's going, boobies and belly! Now the planning begins. I'm stressing a bit over the discomfort of the compression garments more than anything. I'm always ripping my clothes off as soon as I get home, so the idea of having to wear garments 24/7 has me a bit antsy.

Hi, I'm currently 42DD and 200 Lbs. PS mentioned how many grams he could remove, but I don't rememberer. I have another consult on 4/4 and will go over everything. Surgery is scheduled of 4/18 so I'll drop as much weight as I can in the next month.

You will get use to wearing he bra 24/7. It's not like the big ol uncomfortable bras we use to wear. The first thing I use to do when I got home was take that bra off. Now I don't even notice. Good Luck! You will love the new you!

Well ladies it's 9:00 pm and I have my last two cigarettes to smoke. By morning I will not be smoking. I'm a little nervous, but I am taking Chantix as an extra helper. I've stopped before and stupidly had a drink one night 13 months later and started up again! Drats!! Now I have to do this all over again.

If you don't smoke, don't EVER start!

April 18th can't come quick enough. I order a pillow wedge tonight and a compression surgical bra. I wasn't sure whether to go with the Palmer skin therapy oil or the Bio Oil so I got both!

Pray for me that I keep my strength and stay away from the cigs!

You can do it, Teri! In my case the first 3 days were the hardest...stick it out...it is defintly worth it! Good Luck!

Hi Lady Teri! I quit 5 1/2 weeks ago. If you can get through the first week, you will be fine. I hear that Chantix is pretty good. I will be praying for your smoking success.
