Hi! I'm starting the journey! In one week I will be getting a full tummy tuck with intense muscle repair and no lipo. I've got a five finger gap between my ab muscles from top to bottom. It causes me physical pain from my muscles not being able to balance the ibtraabdominal pressures and also makes me look 5 months pregnant at day's end. I'm very active and in shape. The muscle separation has prevented me from performing at my best with lack of proper core engagement. I'm excited this can be fixed! I'm dreading staying still and out of the game of life and my family (18 month old and 8 years old) for so long but am trying to focus on the long term goal and that I won't be in daily pain any more once I recover from surgery. It'll be a long recovery but at least it'll be on the road to getting better, right?! :-) So, I also have deflated breasts after nursing both kids. From the clotges outside appearance it is not apparent how bad they are but I know and I'm always having to accommodate that. I decided to get a Breast augmentation as well. I'm a size 32 around and would only measure at maybe a low B but wear a 32D due to the width needed and with padding and hiked up straps it fits best. Pre-babies, I filked this size out completely. Now I do not. There are gaps. It weighs on me. I'm getting implants to fill my deflated boobs out once again. I'm restoring my abs and my breasts. :) I'm not going any larger and so from the outside they won't really appear larger (since I wear padded bras) but I will have a lot more clothing options, swimsuit options and lingerie options!!! And most of all I will be more confident in my own skin in the bedroom with lights on! I've only told my few best friends about the Breast aug as I feel it's a really private thing for me. Last summer when enough skin would have shown that someone might have seen a difference, I was still nursing so it won't be much different! Yay! It's for me and nobody else for my case anyway. I will be getting silicone, most likely moderate, and between 250 and 275cc, max 300cc. My PS will actually be putting sizers in me once pockets are created do she can view them to pick the perfect ones for my desired look. Oh my stats! I'm 5'5.5" and 120lbs. I'd love to hear from anyone about to go through this or who has for any tips! Happy journey and thanks for reading my story!

Seriously?!? TMI but monthly visitor?!?

I am due to get Aunt Flo any day now as far as I can tell... But no show so far. I'm not pregnant but my cycles aren't steady yet since I've only had two since giving birth 19 months ago (nursing I guess?) but yeah... Last time it was 35 days, time before 33 so I bet on that range and we're cutting this close! I really really don't want to deal with that during surgery or even the first week after! Surgery is Thursday! I don't know that there's anything I can do to speed it along! How crazy is it that I want it to come?!? Geez!!!

So crazy! Mine started the day of surgery! Nothing you can do I guess. The nurses just stuck a pad between my legs :-/

No way! I thought I was the only unlucky one. Was it hell trying to take care of it after surgery? :(

I had to get off birth control for the surgery- so I am officially enjoying my monthly visitor now. It's Saturday hope all is done by Wed!! Feel the pain!

Haha about the edit! I was going to get on BC but was waiting until after. Ugh such a stupid cycle. I have no signs of anything. I should have figured that if I wanted and relied on a regular cycle it would let me down! Lol

I hope yours is done by Wednesday though! Fingers crossed! Mine are usually fast so if it'd start already I bet it's be done by Thursday. Fingers crossed for me too ;)
