Less than 2 weeks and I'm getting nervous!!
NovascotiagirlieMay 22, 2015
So it's less than 2 weeks away and I'm feeling really scared! Anticipated this for years and have had it booked for months. All of a sudden I'm really having serious doubts. I am not afraid of being uncomfortable or of the surgery so not too sure what it's about. I just keep looking at everyone's experiences to help keep focused. Maybe I'm a little scared that the changes will feel weird. I haven't had boobs since I had my first baby at 19. I'm sure I will get used to it I'm just over thinking everything at the moment.

I did that the week before my surgery. I started talking myself out of it, saying I didn't need to spend the $, that my stomach wasn't that bad, maybe I just need the boobs & not the TT, then surgery day came & I was so excited I forgot all about doubting it. I'm SO glad I did it!!! Your going to do great & 2 weeks post op you'll be amazed at the new you! Good luck!

I appreciate the encouragement! I didn't expect to have these feelings of doubt especially where I have been almost obsessed to have it done for years! Looking forward to it being 2 weeks post op so I can stop fretting.

I'm there with you. I'm scheduled for June 9. Just booked yesterday! Not much time to contemplate but maybe that's for the best. Nothing worth having ever comes easy. I told my sister I was going ahead with it and that I was scared.. She looked surprised. Said, you went through the labours you did (10lbd babies) ... And THIS worries you?
She's right. We are moms, we are built tough. Everything will be fine! :)

You're right! We can do this like champs lol. Your surgery is only about a week after mine! I will be thinking of you as I lay in my living room chair recovering.

Many get nervous before a major procedure. Especially if they are spending a lot for it. You have done so much to give life. It's okay to do something for yourself. You can do it. You deserve it for being so selfless.

I think that's a normal feeling, because I'm scheduled for June 4th and I keep going back and forth on whether I'm making the right decision. But, I'm going for it. I have a couple of friends that have done it and they all have said it's the best decision they've made for themselves....they are 10 years & 3 years out from surgery. Hoping I feel the same way. They all said they had the same emotional roller coaster before and to expect to feel that again after surgery. I have another friend who had a mini tuck last week and she's still uncomfortable but happy. But those feelings of questioning ourselves will pass. Good luck!!!

It definitely helps to hear from others what to expect physically and emotionally. Thank you and good luck to you as well!

I am excited to see your results and hear about how you're feeling. I'm certain you'll say, that the worry before hand was the hardest part! All the best :)
May 25, 2015
Thank you! I can't wait to be on the post side so I can encourage others!

I'm so glad to hear all of you. I just booked my TT for June 25 and been feeling the same way. Second thought and questioning if I'm doing the right thing especially after 10 yrs of going back and forth. Thank you all for sharing.

Good for you! You deserve it :)
It's definitely helpful to hear how others feel before, during and after! Lots of mixed feelings and emotions are involved.
June 25th will be here before you know it... I'm excited for you.

I have 8 more days and I see people saying that they buy extra compression garments. Where do I get some?? I am getting a tummy tuck and having lipo on my thighs... I will be coming home with one garment but I'm sure it will get pretty gross pretty fast. I'd like to be able to get something to wear while that one gets washed.

I got some at Macy's, I've seen others order them online. Good luck :)

My PS said use the surgical one she sent me home in for the first two weeks then can transition to Spanx or ones at Target. The surgical ones are a higher compression so you want to stick with those. My newest favorite is a $30 one from Target. I like it better than my $80 pairs of Spanx.
