Well, after 2 years of "dreaming" about this, I have officially scheduled my breast reduction/ lift and tummy tuck for February 16th!! I can't believe how excited and nervous I am. I have been reading the posts here, which do make me feel better, but this is truly a HUGE step for me. I NEVER thought that this would become reality for me. I guess right now, I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed. I am mostly worried about the pain after surgery and the downtime. From the sounds of it, that is everyones biggest concern. But, don't get me wrong...I am over the moon excited!!! Can't wait to feel good about being in a bathing suit again! WOW!!! I'm looking forward to connecting with you all on here. I'm sure as the time gets closer, I will have a million questions!! Take care all!

I was very happy with the doctor and the results, however as I had been warned, I recceived nothing but full attention prior to surgery. However, after surgery (and payment), I was not a priority. Multiple phone calls were not returned-one being a very important situation. That in itself to me shows me that it would be worth while to research other offices if I were to ever have an additional procedure.

Okay~ I have 26 days to go and am now making a list of all items I will need to buy for after the surgery. My PS does recommend silicone sheeting for scarring and I want to go ahead and purchase them now so that I will have them. Has anyone found that a certain kinds works better than another? There are a lot of brands to choose from and not sure if there is a big difference in quality?

I have a question for all of you:

What pant size were you pre-TT and then post-TT?

Welcome!

The nerves are all a part of this process but I assure you that it will all be worth it in the end.  

You have pain with any surgical procedure but at least with this one you end up with some fabulous results.  Totally worth it!    The first 1-2 weeks are the worst but you will notice improvement each day.  

I look forward to following your journey.

Pre TT I was in a size 10 and post down to a 4/6 - depending on the pants.

Hey Joy congratulations on your decision to move forward. I am just shy of 3 weeks post op. I was a 10 to 12 previously and have no idea what I am now as I am still swollen and sensitive to put any thing but stretch pants on. But I know I am smaller. Keep us updated so excited for you.

Thank you both so much for the encouraging words. I know having this support group is going to help me so much! Okay, Icyblue...tell me how the last 3 weeks has been for you!! I think the anticipation of the unknown is the worst for me right now. :)

Hi Joy,

Can you please tell us your surgeons name. I live in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl and keep reseaching surgeons before I have the guts to actually set up consultations.
