I am turning 40 this coming winter and it has been a 20 year goal of mine to get back my pre-pregnancy figure. I had both of my girls very young so this is a very long time coming. Very much nervous and excited. My surgery is scheduled for June 19th. Looking forward to great results. The scars are a little unnerving but the trade off is worth it.

I'm not doing implants this time...I couldn't make up my mind so just going with the lift!
June 9, 2013
We look very similar. I am doing implants instead of the lift - I am hoping it is the right decision. It was either implants to help lift or stay how I am - I just can't do the lift - funny because a scar hip to hip doesn't bother me, but the breast scars do - I guess because I am ok with my breast the way I am but really want them better but I hate my stomach - lol. We will have to follow each other - thanks for sharing

I know what you mean...I'm hoping not getting them is the right decision. I did discuss with my PS the possibility of having them down the road if I change my mind. I think you will be happy with your decision, you'll look great! I can't wait to see. When in your surgery?

Nearly a week away and I can't wait! The updates and before and after pics on this site have been so informative and helped me so much. I think I have become obsessed with reading everyone's progress! Can't wait to post my own after pictures.

Good luck with your surgery, I hope you have a quick recovery with no issues. If it helps, I am 5 days out from my TT and BL, in no pain (haven't taken pain meds since yesterday morning) and I am loving my new body even if I look like frankens bride. :-) the drains are tedious and uncomfortable but they are only temporary. Again good luck with your procedure!

That does help, thank you! I am so happy for you, you look great! That's funny, I kept saying I was going to have frankenboobs! Totally going to be worth it by looking at you. Congrats and just in time for summer :)

Thank you, hopefully I'll be able to enjoy some of the summer without having to wear this binder lol. The frankenboobs look worse than they feel lol, I am more bothered by the itch. :-( but it's totally worth it, i look forward to seeing your after pics.

I'm so excited and nervous. Feeling a little guilty about the expense too. Considering how long I've waited for this there is more excitement than anything! I am taking my daughter to Vegas for her 21st in August. Here is the bikini I bought for the trip. Can't wait to see my PO results so I can feel good about wearing it :)
