WORTH IT$5,400
Over the course of 8 years I have had 3 children, ages 6, 4, and 2 and have breastfed each of them for well over a year. My breasts pre pregnancy were maybe a 36 B and during breastfeeding a 36B.... My weight has fluctuated from 165 pre pregnancy, to 203 and now I've gone down to 153! However with weight loss and the discontinuation of breastfeeding my boobs have completely disappeared. My 34b push ups are pretty empty! Lol
So my decision to do a BA was made a long time ago but delayed due to having babies. Now that I'm done having kids I am sooo ready.
I had my consult on Monday 2/8 and I've already set my surgery date for 3/17.
I've decided to do 500 cc Silicone implants under the muscle with a tranaxillary incision and lowering of the breast pocket. So excited!

Lifting my 2 year old post augmentation?
Sooo for the past couple nights since I scheduled my surgery I've been having anxiety about the recovery. I have a 6 year old, 4 year old, and a 2 year old. My 6 year old and 4 year old I'm not worried about, they're pretty self sufficient, however my 2 year old Is the one I'm having anxiety about. He's really attached to me, and I'm worried about being able to lift him after surgery. How did you mommies deal with recovery with your toddler? I'll have my sister here for 10 days after my surgery but after that I'm on my own ????Hubby works late and is home pretty much at 7 during the week and on weekends he's off. My surgery date is March 17 and my oldest daughter goes back to school April 1 (spring break) sooo I will most likely need to lift for car seats and when they fall asleep in the car after April 1. Is that enough recovery time? ????

I don't have kids but I was advise not do any weightlifting until after 6-8 weeks. I can just imagine how heavy your 2 years old is. Your sister will be a big help for that 10 days and take advantage of that. The recover time varies from how your body is responding to the surgery. I don't think a dr saying a patients return to work after 4-5 days is necessarily true as some women may have lighter work duties than others. Driving is hard for me right now after 10 days. I'm going to try driving again later so we'll see. All takes longer for me until I'm back to normal. I'm being more cautious too as I've never had any medical thing happened to me before. Good luck k aND keep us posted :-)

Yeah I believe my dr said no lifting for 3-4 weeks but that's definitly something I will have to clarify. I'm getting so much anxiety as I am the sole caretaker here and am always active. Idk how I will remain sane during recovery period.

Okay so it's really unavoidable with toddlers at times, really not practical to say to wait months before picking them up. I have a 14 month old and she weighs 25lbs. For the first week my husband took off and was picking her up, now that he's back at work, and we live in a two story home, I'm obviously going to have to carry her. I'm a stay at home mom and he's in the military, gone for days at a time. I expressed my conserns with my doctor and the staff, and they said to squat down, keep your elbows in and lift with your legs. Its only you know, to put her I the high chair or to pick her up over the baby gate. Its been fine and I've had no pain at all.

P.s. i'm not trying to be a doctor I'm just trying to ease your mind a bit

Haha thank you so much for your comment, I actually went in and talked to my patient coordinater and she said the same to use that technique to pick him up when necessary. Mine is 2 and he is now 32 lbs. but he's such a cuddler he's always hugging me so more than anything in worried he may be too rough

Nice I'm glad they said the same thing!! So not realistic when people say to wait 4 or 8 weeks to pick up your baby lol. Awwww I've had to get on her level one the ground for cuddles too. Had a few head-butts to the boob but not too bad. Your surgery date is so soon!!! I hope the next few days don't drag on for you

21 days away, so anxious!
My surgery is exactly 3 weeks away now. I'm so excited and anxious at the same time, trying to keep busy and keep my mind off of it lol I've been exercising more and have finally dropped my plateau, I'm now at 149 lbs hoping to make it to 145 before surgery.
I've been obsessed with reading reviews on here and reading about people's recoveries. I'm so nervous about how recovery will be for me since it seems to be quite different for everyone. I'm not looking forward to the anxiety of a messy house from me not being able to clean during recovery time lol. Agh I obsess about everything.
Also I have bought some essentials that I see a lot of you ladies recommend for after surgery, so far I have:
Arnica tablets
Arnica gel
Scar away strips
Tylenol pm
Tylenol for muscle aches and pains (600mg)
gel ice packs
Coconut oil for massaging
Anything else I should add to the list?
