WORTH IT$16,500
I am a 24 year old, 5'10", and I weight roughly 170lbs. Last year I decided to change my life and quick smoking, drinking, and eating junk. I fully committed myself to getting healthy and very quickly started losing weight. In a little over a year I lost 100lbs but was left with quite a big of loose, sagging skin.
I have no children and do no plan on ever having any biologically so I figured now is as good a time as any to have the surgery.
Friday is my 2 week pre-op and I'll try my very best to update along the way as I've found other people stories inspiring and incredibly helpful on my own journey.
Cheers!

2 Week Pre-Op Appointment!
So today was my pre-op appointment and man it was a long one. It was a long wait this morning then I went over implant options (I had already had two consultations with my PS about them but I was having trouble picking a size) and ended up choosing 350cc moderate smooth round silicone. I'm tall an have large chest width (I'm between a 36-38a/b right now) so I'm shooting for a small C cup.
I also got sized for my compression garment and boy is that going to be difficult getting on and off! I looked like a stuffed sausage.
The PS also did a rough marking of where my TT scar line would be and I was very happy I wore my low rise underwear because he marked it perfectly! Hopefully he'll be able to keep it pretty low during the surgery.
I got a list of things I should get (colace, tylenol, dial antibacterial, etc.) and what I should bring with me for surgery.
I'm having my surgery in a hospital instead on at his surgery center so I can stay overnight. If we get the 7AM start time that means I'll have to be up bright and early and be there at 5:30AM. My poor mom is going to hate me after this is all done.
Starting to get a bit nervous but I'm still very excited!

10 days out from surgery.
I've grabbed a ton of stuff I'll need for after the surgery and bought a used recliner from Habitat for Humanity restore for $70. I'll probably donate it back again after my surgery but this way I don't have to worry it if gets ruined from leaking drains or anything.
So excited!

Congratulations on your fantastic weight loss and a new beginning...we are similar in height and weight. I am an inch shorter and 5 lbs heavier. I went with 550 CC's but started with very little I have a long torso and wide shoulders. Check out my profile before and after...however I am still healing and a lot older than you.
