Hi all! Been hanging out here for quite some time, researching and learning. I used to be pretty heavy- lost about 65 pounds when I was 20 years old and have been self conscious about my droopy breasts Ebert since. Happy to have lost the weight but burdened with feeling inadequate and embarrassed about what happens when the clothes come off. Sick of hiding and being uncomfortable naked. I had a consult two weeks ago and the doc recommended a lollipop lift and saline implants under the muscle. I'm at the point where I pick up the phone to call and schedule my surgery but then hang up because I'm nervous/scared/unsure. I've never had surgery so I'm pretty anxious about that and the cost makes me think twice too. I can afford it but feel guilty about it at the same time. The fiance and I are about to break ground on a new home so there's a lot on my mind regarding money. He's completely supportive and told me to get it on the books- he just wants me to be happy and comfortable with myself and the girls- and he knows he'd get to see them more if I was happy with them!! ;-) So I guess I'm just looking for any words of encouragement to give me strength to do this. I really look forward to the day that I'm not trying to hide myself and that I actually look forward to being topless- or heck, just braless in t-shirt around the house! Thanks to everyone in advance for posting to this site and offering up all the information and advice- it really helps. Oh, I'm about 5`4" and 135 lbs., I'm a saggy 36 C- plenty of space left in my bra, thinking that a nice sized D will be the largest I'd like to go- future hubs' only request is that they look natural and not much bigger. Want to be sure I fill up the tissue I have though- no more sagging!! No kiddos for me so no worries about breastfeeding. Thoughts? Advice? Anything at all would be so welcome!! Thanks again for any help!! :-D

BA/BL scheduled! Yikes!

Found my courage (at least long enough to book my surgery!) and scheduled my surgery for October 17th. The office staff have been great and super supportive, the coordinator was giddy for me, which was sweet. Its all I can think about now and the thought of recovery and missing work and class is a little daunting. Surgery is on a Friday and they told me I'd almost definitely be able to return to work the following Wednesday- I hope they're right! I've seen lots of people who've had a pretty quick recovery and those who've needed much more time- hoping for the best! Anxious to receive my package in the mail with all the details- I'm a bit OCD about knowing everything I can! Excited but nervous! You think they might start prescribing me some meds this early in advance so I stop stressing?? Ha... jk. Here we go!

Just had to say that, today, for some reason I'm really excited about this surgery and the positive outcome that will hopefully follow! Not sure why the crazy excitement today- could just be that it's Friday and that everything is better on a Friday! Who knows! Ok, that is all..!

Your story sounds so familiar! Over the past several years I've lost over 80 lbs, 40 of it being since January. I'm really happy about my weight loss and I feel so much better, but it sure didn't help the girls at all! We're not promised tomorrow, you just have to go for it! My husband tells me how proud he is of me and to look at this as my reward for all the hard work on my body. I've been scheduled since mid May and I've had those days when I've second guessed my decision and my emotions get the best of me. I just have to remind myself how worth it it will be in the end. It scares me, I've never had surgery, but my husband and family are being so supportive. As long as you have that support system you'll be fine! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Hi! Thanks for your kind words and i apologize for not responding sooner! I'm still nervous and worried about how recovery will go but hopefully it'll be fine. My surgery is on a Friday and I plan to go back to work Wednesday. How'd things go with your procedure? You look awesome!!!

Darn small text on this phone! I thought you're procedure was on August 28- and thought your profile pic was an update! Your girls look good in that pic too! :-) :-) how's it coming prepping for your procedure?? Getting excited?!
Here is a recent question posed in our Doctor Q&A about deciding whether or not a BA is for you. Perhaps some food for thought. Let us know what you decide to do!
