WORTH IT$20,500
So 4 weeks from today is my mommy makeover on dec 6. I'm getting a tummy tuck with lipo and breast lift with implants! All the reading I've done on this site has been super helpful ! I'm excited and nervous but ready to do this! I've got two grown kids, both large babies. 9 lbs 12 oz. and second was 9 lbs. then my weight went up and down over the years. But typically about 40 lbs overweight. So about four years ago I decided I was done being heavy! I've lost about 45 lbs and have kept it off. I always thought if I could just lose the weight then my stomach would be flat again. Lol well I was surprised ... I've got loose skin that I can't diet away. And losing the weight my boobs went from C to a saggy B. I'll post some pics.

So I have my preop on Monday the 21st and I'm sure we'll get that figured out. At my consult she said 350-375 cc. But that was about a month ago now. All the research I've been doing says to go bigger than you think. Plus, I think I want to go a bit bigger than I initially did. So we'll see. I'm nervous. But I've never read anyone say that they think they went too big. Lol

How to deal with coworker questions
One subject that I haven't heard brought up much is how to handle coworker questions and looks. I am not telling anybody at my job what I'm doing. I work with a lot of people and if one finds out then they all do. I know I'd be judged by many of them. Has anyone else dealt with this and how did you handle it ? I have to tell HR on Tuesday the 22nd that I'll be out for three weeks in dec.

I am in the military and I work with mostly all men, so they don't get it, but no one really has been judgy to me at all, no one really wants to talk to me about it though. ha! The few women that I do work with have been very cool about it and some say I don't understand, but if it makes you feel better than more power too you. I say screw the judgmental people and tell who you feel comfortable with and if anyone get snotty that is their issue.

I'm glad it was no problem for you! I had to tell my supervisors yesterday that I'm having surgery and I'll be out of work for a few weeks. One asked what the surgery was for and I just said that I didn't want to talk about it. The other asked if I was OK. I actually felt guilty because they automatically think somethings wrong . Anyway, I'll see how it goes when I get back to work afterwards,

You'll have to get creative and come up with some off the wall procedure and tell them you had that done! Haha!

Ya or if they push it then I'll just tell them I had some lifelong problem fixed. That should shut them up! Lol

I went with hernia repair and it worked like a charm. They're all quite nosy where i work and had to ask a lot of details but it all went well so they haven't found out so far.

That's a great idea! Totally believable. I'm hoping if they don't notice my boobs then maybe they'll just leave it alone. Lol

Haha I told my work I was having a hernia repair too. Never told them I was having implants or a TT.

I told my human resources that I was having a women's surgery. My boss was cool about it. I'm taking 3 weeks too
December 10, 2016
Ya I'm thinking that they are guessing that. But really all they have to do is look up my dr online to see what type of dr she is. Oh well. If they ask anything that would be pretty bold on their part

I chose not to tell many people- only a select few. Not because I'm ashamed, but rather the judgement. So many people think they need to preach on what YOU should do.
For me personally, I decided this because I told a client that I was thinking about doing it. Client was incredulous- because I'm a size 0; lectures me on why I didn't need it, I was tiny!
Hello- it's not for size, but to remove damaged, loose skin. Client refused to listen and ended up thinking I had a body image issue that was my husband's fault.
My surgery has everything to do with my happiness and how I feel in my own skin.

Ok preop done
My preop went really well yesterday.
My husband and best friend came with me. My husband was mostly for moral support. My friend is the one who will actually be taking care of me. After surgery I'm going to stay at her house a few days. She is retired and offered to take care of me. Now that's a really good friend. We pretty much decided on 400 cc silicone under moderate plus. I'm hoping it won't be too big on me. I want to notice a change but I don't really want everyone else to. If that makes any sense lol. So two weeks from today. I'm almost done xmas shopping and decorations are up. I'm starting to pick up a few items I might need. Such as a walker my husband found new on Craigslist for $10. Got a neck pillow yesterday. And a few toiletries. I'll need to pack everything since I'm not coming home for a few days. I told my work I'll be out for three weeks. I can't wait!
