Finally my Time Has Come!!! - Detroit, MI

Hello all!! Im the mother of 2 miracle babies &...
WORTH IT
Hello all!! Im the mother of 2 miracle babies & the wife of an amazing husband. Im 34yrs old, 5"6", 216lbs as of today. Ive ALWAYS suffered with huge breast as a child and adult. At age 12, I was a size 38DDD and never saw a training bra in my life until my stepdaughter came into my life. My heaviest was a 42 JJ and even when I weighed 135lbs, I was still wearing a 38F-H bra.
My chance at a new life came this year. I was 285lbs and a size 42JJ. I knew I had to tackle the weight issue first, so I got busy! Just when I thought a Dr would consider looking at me, I went to see my surgeon. After he reviewed my case, he informed me that it was neccessary to lose more weight for the best results, so once again, I went home & got busy again, but this time with a personal trainer. Almost 2 weeks ago, I went in for another consult/follow-up and was approved for a breast reduction/ lift. I think I cried from the office all the way home & thanked God for this amazing blessing!! Finally my time has come & even though Im nervous about the whole thing, Im more excited than anything. These breast have haunted me all my life!!

Hi OHarris! It looks like you and I are going in on almost the same day (but I'm in Brisbane, haha). I wish you all the best for a good outcome. I'm sure you deserve it after all the hard work you've put in :) I think from looking at your photos, that you're going to have a great result.

Thank you HayleyH. When is your surgery? Im praying we both have a greatoutcome..

Hi there - I am leaving in about 3 hours. I just had a quick peek on here. I think you other ladies are a lot more prepared than I am. I haven't bought any supplies or bra's or anything, not even oils or creams :( I think I will get all my instructions at the post-op appointment on Friday...the dr's rooms haven't exactly been helpful. I think I am going to have to do a bit more reading on here and buy stuff. I do get fitted with a bra in-rooms 2 days after, and they said I can buy more than one if I want to. They are $39 each, meh!

We are surgery buddies! I go in on Wednesday as well! Are you ready?! I am getting really excited now :) The nerves are settling down....praying we both get amazing results!

Jkd001 Yaaay us!! I dont know how I feel day to day. Im excited more than ever one minute. Then the next minute Im freakn out. I know I have an awesome surgeon, but after you read a few bad stories, in the back of your mind your like, what if?..Omg, its so great to know I have someone having surgery the same day as me!! I have to be there at 530am and the surgery starts at 730am..Lets keep each other posted..How do you feel??
October 20, 2013
I have my roller coaster moments too but I've been trying to stay busy and not think about it too much. Lol. I am feeling really good at the moment. I have to trust that PS will do what I have asked which is so hard to do. I have to be there at 6:45am. They are going to call and confirm the day before. Not sure what time surgey actually is. All I know is they told me to have my hubby there to pick me up around 12:30. Def keep me posted! It is so nice having a surgery buddy! I found some the day before and day after too. Makes things so much better! Do you have everything ready?! My room has been over taken with all the extra pillows I could find. Have to get the recliner ready too. So much to do! Lol It's like I'm having surgery or something ;)
October 20, 2013
I pretty much done the samething..pillow stock, vitamins, different ointments, & cleaned house..lmbo..we're truly both in the same boat with nerves & excitment..
October 20, 2013
Just got back from church and my mind is starting to wander...LOL. I am taking the kids to a baptism party...just waiting on the call that they are all there. Hopefully that will keep me and them busy for awhile. I went and sat on the recliner in my bedroom and it is not nearly as comfortable as the one we have upstairs in my hubby's man cave. I wonder how much he would kill me if I made him bring it down from up there! I probably wouldn't make it to surgery. LOL Hope you are having a great day and keeping busy! Two and a 1/2 more days, 3 more sleeps!!! :)

Lmbo..I cleaned my whole house from top to bottom ( 3 levels/ 2full bths) nonstop. I started at 11am this morning and finished about 6pm. I even scrubbed some walls and dusted..looking for more to do tho..the closer the date, the more I get raddled..more excitment than nerves though. Yes, 2 and 1/2 more days till surgery & 2 & 1/2 more sleeps for me. I have to be at the hospital at 530am and surgery starts at 730am..I wont get any sleep Tues night, because I have to get packed and have the kids stuff ready so they can ride with hubs..so we may leave out at 4am..smh

One Last Look..
I woke up this morning and went to the bathroom and caught a glance in the mirror of Suzie & Suzzane. I can't belive they'll be gone in less than 2 days. I swear it seems like Ive had weights on my shoulders for years & Im looking forward to having them removed. Today is my last preop appmt. Time to write this in stone family!! :)

YAY! How did pre-op go? You are going to be so happy and a huge weight will literally be off your shoulders! Can't believe we are going to have a new set of girls in just 2 days! Seems so surreal :) Hope your nerves are good today. I have my moments of butterflies in my gut. So exciting!!! Keep in touch! XOXO
October 21, 2013
Hey Jkd, my nerves are a mess, but Im good..the preop went great! He did some markings and answered a ton of questions..I'll be going down to a D or DD cup. He said taking me lower can risk tissue & nerve damage, but Im fine with that. Love ya more & let the count down begin..lmbo..our tommorow is the last day we got to suffer, let go out as CHAMPS!!!
October 22, 2013
Sounds great!!! So excited for both of us :) You are going to look absolutely amazing! I just know it!! Get some rest....I feel like I have a ton to do tomorrow. Started laundry tonight so that I can fold and put away tomorrow before I can't do it for a week. LOL. XOXO
October 22, 2013
Jkd, yeah definitly down to only laundry tommorow & going shopping for some button down pj's and antibacterial soap..Im in my "OMG" moment again cuz I cant believe how fast the surgery got here. I'll hit you up tommorow eve with words of encouragement & speedy recovery blessings and prayers. We got this :))
