30 Years Old, No Kids, Breast Lift and Implants Needed Due to Weight Loss - Cincinnati, OH

UPDATED FROM katiebug

BA/BL surgery this friday.... really anxious

$11,500
Hi all, my surgery is scheduled for this Friday, Halloween, ha, frankenboob anyone?? Want to say thank you to everyone on the site for sharing their stories- it makes this procedure a little less nerve-wracking. I'll be getting a lollipop lift with implants- size TBD, going in Wednesday to get that nailed down. Hoping for maybe a nice moderate D, or whatever the PS thinks fits me best. I'm currently an asymmetrical and empty B/C due to a 65 pound weight loss, 30 years old, 5'4", 135 lbs. I'm starting to really get nervous about the procedure and recovery- having trouble focusing on work and school stuff (going back to school and have an exam tomorrow night!). Just hoping that everything goes well and that recovery isn't terrible. I've never been under or had any sort of surgery so I'm just pretty unnerved. Trying to just breathe and relax.. part of me still is in disbelief that this is happening! Very lucky to have my fiance and mom going with me and takng care of me. My fiance has been so supportive and won't leave my side so that is extremely reassuring. If anyone has any tips or tricks they used to calm the heck down during the days leading up to their procedure I'd love to hear about them! Take care!!

One more thing!

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?!

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!
