Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck.

Ok, so I've been researching these procedures...
WORTH IT$14,020
Ok, so I've been researching these procedures since my second child, 9 years ago.(I have 3) I finally came into the means to pay for the surgery and BAM! I went for a couple consultations and already set a date in about a 2 week time frame. It's as if I had to do it this way, so I don't chicken out. The doctor I'm going with is the one I felt the most comfortable with in the consultation and not to mention he's done work on my mom and my Aunt so....he's pretty much officially the family surgeon. Lol he is an excellent doctor, who takes the time to answer every question thoughtfully and explains every detail. He did a great job on my family so I'm trusting he will do his best for me. My procedure is paid and set and there is no backing out now! I'm extremely nervous because, 1. I have never been under before.....2. This is my first surgery.......3. I'm scared of the recovery and complications that can arise......4 I'm not rich and this is something that took me a very long time to save up for....5. I just need to take a couple anti anxiety meds to get through this.lol My excitement is finally starting to rise and show because now, that it's paid for and set, it just now seems more real to me. I'm having a TT and breast augmentation. No lift because I was blessed with slightly deformed breasts. Thank God those are going to be gone! Btw Dr. Stagnone does the best breasts, hands down. I've seen his work and he comes highly recommended for the boobs! Lol can't wait to see his artistic work on me!
UPDATED FROM Txlilly
15 days pre
Trying to prepare for this
So far I have .....tank tops and yoga pants to wear, sports bra, spanx....my list for the next store trip is thin maxi pads, Maderma, Gatorade, they provide the binder......my caretaker will be a family member who has an electric recliner,walker, pillows out the wahOo. Lol I'm open to any other suggestions if I'm missing anything. I'm also wondering if my surgeon is going to include lipo of the flanks? I've noticed that most women who are chunky like me are automatically getting the back lipo thrown in to accent the tummy tuck. I took a pic of my back and was grossed out at how fat it looks. (Hadn't seen it in a while! Lol) I'm hoping the combination of the tummy and breasts will help my flabby back out! I'm doing everything backwards because, I really wanted to lose 20 lbs before I did this but ......if I don't get it done now I may never get the chance to do this again. I'm not seeking to look like a super model, I just wouldn't mind being able to wear a two piece without feeling completely gross. That is my ultimate goal in 6 months or by the summer the latest. Happy healing mommies!

Hi TXLilly,
Know exactly how you feel. I am 3days post-op and I had the exact same pre-surgery thoughts/emotions. I've been told it's very normal to feel like you're finally at the head of the roller coaster line (after waiting forever), and now kinda want to take the emergency exit out. ;) You sound very prepared! I highly recommend coconut water with Pineapple instead of the Gatorade. I bought several cases on a discount and have felt so much better drinking something more natural and healthier. Haven't had much of an appetite, but I bought several packages of fiber and protein bars, which have been sooooo great to nibble on. My friends who have gone through MMs also supplied me with fresh cut up pineapples and papayas (to help speed recovery time.)
LMK if you need anything or have questions! I'm bed-resting and love a good distraction! :)

Thank you so much for your input! I'm definitely a roller coaster of emotions. Lol
