40 Years Old - 3 Kids Later, I'm Getting a Lift with Implants - Del Mar, CA

Thanks for the helpful advice, keep it coming! Are you getting excited? Yours will be here before you know it!

I have been really sick the last couple of days, so I've just been trying to get past the vomiting and terrible menstural cramps and haven't had time to think about my surgery much. Although I did wonder to myself if I will feel this horrible while I'm recovering. :( I hope not. BUT I will say, that I am so glad that I'm having my period before my surgery. I've read a few reviews from ladies who start their period the morning of surgery. That would be such a pain.

Maxi dresses are on sale at Nordstroms for forty bucks right now in their Savvy section. I bought five and they have been so helpful!

Oh that sounds horrible :(. My worst fear is that mine will start soon and not only do I have maxi pads taped to me for leakage from lipo but than I have to worry about other leakage . Ugh!!

Thanks, Beth! Thankfully my mom will be visiting for the first few days, then my husband is taking a week off. 34 days, and counting!!

Good news about your mom and husband helping out post-op. We'd love to see some wish boob photos if you have time to post any!

Hi! I originally started narrowing it down by doctors who would take my insurance, because I was having something else looked at that would have been an insurance procedure. It was a previous umbilical hernia repair, that thankfully turned out to be OK, so I don't need to worry about it. I had been narrowing down the list based on credentials and the pics in their gallery that I liked. I liked the doctor I met first, who was also looking at the umbilical repair, but his results in the gallery weren't 100% what I wanted. Close, but not perfect. I also asked my primary physician who he would recommend, but I did not like any of the results of that doctor. My husband even agreed that all of the results looked like Franken-boob. Super long incisions (from all the way under to way up high towards the armpit - I have never seen any pics with anything similar), and not at all what I was looking for. Dr. Marin has all of the qualifications and results that I am looking for. They were able to fit me in rather quickly, I think it was less than a week. My surgery was schedule for much later, but that was only because I already had the week picked out, since my mom will be coming down here to help me out with my kids. It was so comfortable being in the office, and I knew instantly upon meeting everyone that this is where I would be having it done. I would recommend you make an appointment so you can see if they are the same fit for you. Here is the link to his galleries **** My pre-op is on Thursday, I can hardly wait! Let me know if you end up meeting with him.

Thank you so much! My consult is in Thursday. Good luck with your procedure, I'll definitely be checking back with you to see how your ore op went. Only three more sleeps till Thursday!

on... oops!

Oh, it's just my pre-op. Surgery isn't until 6/27. I booked it about 145 days out, and now I am down to 18 days! :-)

Exciting!!

Oh, I hope so! :-) Doing my best to stay busy.

Straws & pajamas are the last on my list . I found a good deal on a 2 pack of hook-front bras, to use in the first few weeks, in addition to the one the office provides. Just emailed you the link. How was your pre-op?

Thanks, I'll have to add pineapple to the shopping list!
