Finally had a Mommy Makeover and I'd do it again!

I am a younger mom of 5 (28 years) and I had my first child just before 18. My young body was done for early and my husband married me after my first child. I am a smaller woman and my breast were beautiful while pregnant but deflated to emptiness when I finished nursing. My stomach has this pooch I cannot flatten and it's so annoying to fit clothes...BUT, most of all, I really want to feel good about presenting myself to my sweet handsome husband. Intimacy is hard to achieve when I am thinking "NO, DONT LOOK" and I just want to feel good about being naked infront of my man.
SO, I am looking at either 275 or 300cc BA to just fill in the lost volume and I am having an extended TT.
I am scheduled for one week from Friday! WOOT! And I can't believe it! I am nervous, excited, anxious, excited and a bit feeling guilty to burden my hubby with my havung ot be out of commission a bit, but he is sweet and supportive so that helps.
We are keeping this a secret though, so that should be interesting, HA! I want to talk about it, but I do NOT want anyone to know, so .... I am glad for RealSelf! :)

Yes, it is soon. I have waited long enough and done plenty of research, so....why wait anymore, right?! :)
I figure my changes will be noticable, but not overly so. My bra does much of what my breast change will be and as far as they could tell my stomach could be from spanx or diet/exercise. Atleast I hope that's what they think, lol. I don't think anyone will ask though. If they do, I'll just say I've started walking again (I have) and eating better (I have). :)
Aussie, are you anxious about how long it will take to shift back into being a mom again?
So, tomorrow is my post-op; 2 days later I will be...
I am mostly excited. I am a little bit nervous, but more-so about recovering without being too big of a burden to my family.
I have a wonderful husband who runs our construction business as well as is in a full time college degree program at a local university. Our 5 children have school, activities and birthday parties. We are very involved in our local community, etc. So, having this done sort of adds a bunch to his plate...especially since we don't want anyone to know.
His mom is helping with the kids some and has done great not asking questions, but, I know I wont be able to lift our 2 year old for 3 weeks, so that is going to be a challenge.
All that to say that this is more of what I am nervous about than the actual surgery.
The surgery I am very thrilled to rip the band-aid off (as the saying goes) and get it over with. I am glad I haven't had to wait very long since scheduling because the waiting is what could have freaked me out. Rushing has kept my mind busy.
I am curious how long before other healing moms were able to be mostly functional in their homes again?

I had my preop appointment and Before pics taken,...
I love my doc and his staff even more and felt so comforted when I went to register and have blood drawn at the hospital and the nurses were raving about Dr. Bogdan and his wife who is the anesthesiologist, Dr. Veve. That sure was comforting!
I told my mom in love and a good old friend about what I am having done. They were surprised, laughed with me some and supportive. My mom in love is keeping my littlest son on the Mon-Wed (including overnight) following the weekend after my surgery since my husband will need to go back to work/school. My dh will take the children to and from school.
I am still not anxious about the surgery at all; only excited. I am a little bit about the length of time recovery will take however I am more and more encouraged by the ladies on this site that the worst goes by quickly :)
And we're glad you found us. Thank you for beginning your story! JenBob wrote a great post in the forum about what she's wishes she knew before her MM. You should hop over and check that out.
Your husband sounds like a gem. I'm glad you're getting good support!
