38 Year Old Mother of 3, Long Awaited Surgery - Golden, CO

I have been planning this surgery for more than 8 years. I've been unhappy with my body since my 3rd child. I just want to feel good about the way I look. My quest to find the right surgeon began 1 year ago. I checked out 3 surgeons, who were all great, yet have significant price differences for the same procedures. This confused and worried me as all 3 were board certified with great credentials and reviews. I decided to go with Dr. Steinwald because of the time he and his staff spent with me, as well as my initial impression of both. I'm extremely nervous and have all these irrational fears as the date closes in. I'm terrified to say the least, yet I've never wanted anything as much as I want this. Does anyone else feel the same? I will post pics as soon as I work up the courage! This site has helped me so much and I would like to help others!

I've done my pre op appointment, I have my prescriptions, and now I'm nervously waiting! I'm crazy busy at work so I don't have too much time to worry! I'll be having a tummy tuck and BA with silicone implants,325cc. My sister had her MM about 8 months ago and she went with 250 cc, so I'm a little on the fence about the size. I am about her size and weight but I felt she was too conservative when she chose her size. She even admits that she will most likely have a revision to increase the size. I don't have much breast tissue and as I tried on the sizers I loved the 325s both times without ever knowing the ccs. I tried a range from 200 to 400 and felt the best with that size. I hope I don't regret it! I want to be as discreet as possible and do not want people to see me and automatically assume I have implants.
I am going to post a tummy pic ( I'm horrified) but I know seeing everyone else's pictures has really helped me up to this point! I'm still trying to talk myself into the breast pic! Maybe right before I go in!

I am having my mommy makeover tomorrow!!I am so emotional today. I keep going back and forth between excitement and sheer panic. I'm so ready to have this done yet, I also don't know what to expect. I've researched, read, and followed other women's journeys here, however I like to feel prepared and never having had surgery, I keep worrying. I'm also worried about recovery. I really am a control freak and I have no control over anything the next week except my attitude. Please say a prayer for me! I hope to update soon! God bless and best of luck to the ladies who will be in surgery tomorrow!
