Today has been a big day! I chose my surgeon! Now it all feels real. I've hated the size of my aerolas for so long and then after having two kids and gaining and losing and gaining and losing weight my boobs are shot!
I got the PTO approved at work and my dad will be taking me on surgery day. Now I'm just waiting to hear back about the financing I applied for. I'm curious about what everyone else is doing/did about financing. I'm paying half up front and wanting to finance the rest.

I've known I wanted to do this for a while. I sat down with my husband November 2015 and was like "let's be real: how long will it take for us to save enough for this..." We don't like to finance, so we set a goal date and we cut back on things like eating out as much, long weekend getaways, and other little things so we could pay cash and go shopping for clothes after :)
Good luck!!! This is an exciting time!!

putting some on my 11.99 percent visa card,have some care card also very little their 450.00 or so the interest is much higher at the docs office credit companies 22.99 percent.hope this helps you sister dystni@yahoo.com sent you a message

That does help! Thanks! I applied for medfinance, but the finance fees are outrageous! I think I'll be better off using my mastercard

If I didn't have savings I would not have done it. A perk of waiting till you are in your 50's I guess. Was able to pay cash all up front.
Good luck

I put some upfront and am debating on wether to finance the rest of Care Credit or on another one of my cards.

I used carecredit years ago when I got lasik, but when I applied through medfinanceloans they wanted to charge a $500 finance fee! So I just got a credit card with no interest for 15 months. I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. It ended up that I'm only charging $3800 of it. Mine is $10500 total.

I paid cash. I didn't want to have a bill for boobs if we could help it.

I'm so ready to have new boobs! Can't wait to get these big weights lifted up and get quite a bit of aerola cut off!
I hate my current boobs. The surgeon said there is no breast tissue left on top. As you can see they just hang! Yuck!!
I'm young and don't want to feel negative about my boobs forever. I've wanted this for so long, but have waited because every time I get ready to go for it I feel too guilty about spending money on myself since I have 2 kids. My parents are super supportive of my decision which I was concerned about too. I'm so excited that I'm finally doing this!

I felt the same way. Why do we feel so guilty?? I always do for my family with love but when it comes to myself I second guess everything!! I know it will be worth it!! I'm scheduled august 31st!

Your time is coming pretty soon!

I guess it's a mom thing- guilt, the gift that keeps on giving! Ha.
I know that I take great care of my kids and that they have everything they need, but as a parent I always feel guilty doing for myself.

I'm feeling guilty too :(

Pre-op scheduled! Planning for Recovery

KPalmer24
So I paid my deposit today. I also scheduled my pre-op appointment for August 22nd at 8:30am. I am so so excited! It's surreal. I've been thinking about this for years.
Any advice on things I need to get for recovery??
Also, my family are willing to help with my two boys. How long should I plan on them being away?

You should be good for company in 48 hours but will have some great pain and swelling issues dont be alarmed just give yourself time to get through it
July 26, 2016
Okay awesome! I have planned for the boys to be with family for two days and then some help over the weekend. I'm a single mom so it makes it tough, but they are 5 and 8 or they can do a lot. We'll have a movie night when they come home!

Hi doll!! Pillows pillows pillows lol! For me personally, I was so glad I had a bunch of pillows cause it's hard sitting and sleeping comfortably for about the first week...so pillows definitely helped with comfort...some days weren't as bad but absolutely make sure u stay on top of your meds!! I had to have my husband open my pill bottles cause I couldn't do it...You don't realize how much u really use your chest muscles for basic everyday things (like pulling ur pants up after using the bathroom lol) Is someone going to be staying with u the first night? Record or rent a bunch of movies, have a TV tray or some kinda little table set up with everything u need next to u, and just relax...and don't feel guilty about it either :) oh, and get bendy straws lol!

Thanks for all the advice!! I have lots of pillows ready and I have 8 seasons of Grey's Anatomy on netflix that I want to watch ha.

My dad will be taking me to and from surgery and he will be available that first night if I need him, but won't be staying with me.
