5 1/2 weeks post op! New pics, and feeling much better about this! - Clearwater, FL

I'll start by saying that I have been literally stalking the reviews on this site for a good 6 months or so now. Not like a creepy perv or anything, but I have thoroughly enjoyed watching everyone's journey and seeing how happy you all have become with your results! I have booked my surgery date for December 14th 2012 (4 days from now, and 2 weeks before my 30th birthday!) I would also like to say that I am feeling so much more confident and at ease about doing this procedure, because of all the info here. Now I would like to publicly share my experience, and hopefully it will help someone the same way!

I am a 29 year old mother of two girls, ages 4 and 2. Both children were breast fed, and I gained a significant amount of weight during both pregnancies. I was athletic, 5'0", weighed 110 lbs, and wore a 32B. My peak weight during pregnancy was 175lbs, and while breastfeeding my breasts grew to a 34E. (ouch!) Of course after engorgement, they deflated like punctured soccer balls. Currently, I am 133lbs, 32B cup size.

My pre-op appointment was last Thursday 12/6/12. We made the final decision on my new boobie size, which will be 500cc high profile silicone implants, placed under the muscle via inframmary incision. That will likely place me at a large D cup or possibly DD. I will also be doing a full tummy tuck, with lipo on the flanks and additional lipo on the outer thighs. My blood-work came back good, and I was sent home with an abundance of instructions and prescriptions: Parafon Fort DSC 500mg (muscle relaxer), Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg (antibiotic), Vicodin/Acetainophen 5-500mg (pain killer), Ativan .5mg (anxiety), and Vistaril 25mg (nausea). As a precaution (strongly urged by the PS staff) I have also purchased laxatixes, and Hibiclens to prep my skin before surgery. I think the only thing I need to get now is some button/zipper front tops for comfort while my new ta-tas heal. Are there any other supplies or comfort items any of you could suggest?

I am so excited! Fortunately, I have a strong support system to help around the house and with the children! My super-awesome fiance switched his schedule around to take the kiddos to daycare, and his mother (who also lives with us) will assist me during the day. This would never be happening if it weren't for them =D

I will try to post another update in a couple days before the surgery! xoxo
