So I'm 5 foot 140 pounds. I've had two children but even before them I've kind of borderline on the bigger side of girls my height . So after many years of research and wanting and saving and backing out of A little tonsillectomy -lol- I decided to have the surgery so I drove four hours today from Yulee Florida all the way to Columbus Georgia To see dr.c. He was really cool and country also down to earth and the staff is really helpful so I put down 2000 today to kind of force myself to do it because if I don't do it this year I'm never going to do it because my husband is tired of hearing me talk about it he said just to do it but his only request is that I somehow get a bigger ass I already have implants 350 Overfilled saline moderate profile and I wish I went smaller but it is what it is. Hopefully with the fat transfer I'll have for balance to my boobs and butt ratio. :)

I don't think you look bad now! I am doing the same thing. I have pretty much settled on Dr. Cochran, I just have to bring myself to make the apt. From what I have seen of his work, and how good you already look now.. your hubby better watch out! Your going to be smoking!!! :)

i was scared for years to have my TT. Don't worry, the anxiety is way worse than the actual recovery. You'll have pain pills so don't stress over it and just go for it :)

I'm scared of pain pills but I do well with Xanax lmao.. Hopefully they can give me something other than Codeine because that makes me sick as a dog....

Me too! I couldn't take my pain pills, I took them the day I left the hospital and that was it, they made me so sick and dizzy... I took Tylenol extra strength for the pain and it was fine. The first few days are uncomfortable, nothing horrible. Be prepared for the emotional ups and downs. I read about them and didn't think they would affect me but they did. We'll all be here for you. Eat plenty of fiber and drink plenty water to help you poo after surgery, eat protein for healing and energy, it'll be healed before you know it :)

So my husband is a military special forces ' i'd rather not specify' and he goes on deployments like any other military man but unlike traditional deployments where they are scheduled I never really know when he will come and go sometimes so my mother-in-law will be taking care of me when it all happens. Ugh.. Anyways I was ready to finance my surgery with care credit the day of my consult but I got the vibe they don't like it when you do that so unlike any office I've been to before they are letting me make payments prior to surgery date which is really cool.. I would totally do it tomorrow if I could but it sucks being a military wife stationed in a strange place with no friends or family so I have to plan my life around other people but it is what it is... I've wanted this for so long and I'm living with the body that I can't stand and I feel like I'm just existing not living ..I'm just so scared for some reason and I know it's just an illusion so I was wondering if I could maybe exchange email addresses with someone who's had the surgery before you could maybe be like a surgery sponsor or something that if I had a crazy question they wouldn't mind answering it privately .. Idk.. But honestly even be better if it was a person who had the same doctor as me but I'll take what I can get ..

Haven't had the surgery yet but I did see Dr Cochran just yesterday and I've chosen him as well. I probably won't have it done until February...gonna save up some extra funds so I don't have to finance. I also work retail so I'm going to get the busy holidays under my belt before the doctor takes my belly. Good luck with your surgery and I know I'm not as useful as someone who's already been there, but if you have any questions or just want to talk about it....I'm willing to try!

Send me a private message on here anytime you need to I'll answer any questions honestly. I was so cared before surgery too and after wards I wish I hadn't worried myself sick so much. It really isn't that bad.

Your absolutely righ....real self was such an instrumental part in the decision process... I found my doctor on the site and I read so many success stories that it helped in pulling the trigger on the procedure...Very inspiring site about plastic surgery!

take your time to heal, eat fresh foods, then when you are cleared to exercise.. kill it in the gym. You are not far from your goal weight. You are going to look great! Dr Cochran is the man.
