WORTH IT$17,500
I was a teenage mom and never really had the perky body, excluding my younger teenage years. My daughter was almost 11 pounds and did a number on my breast and stomach. I hid my imperfections well over the years and with clothes one would say I have a pretty decent body.
I work out regularly to maintain my weight although I could lose 10 lbs from holiday feasting :)
Last year I became really serious about becoming leaner and I lost a lot of fat but made my breast saggier and stomach looser. :(
I've researched MMO's for a while but never had the time to actually heal. I'm finally at a place in my life where I've done all that I can do to look great and I'm leaving the rest to the gifted hands of a plastic surgeon.
I consulted with Dr. Basu almost three years ago and I'm scheduled for another consultation February 27th.
I have a surgery date of April 23rd in mind but of course, this is dependent on Dr. Basu's availability. Anxious, excited, and nervous are just a few of the feelings I experience when I think about going under but I'm ready to get it done!

The grass is not greener on this side, for now...
Still hard to believe I actually went through the procedure as in the past, I would continually push my surgery day out.
I have not had the opportunity to see my stomach and boobs but my doctor and nurse said I had fantastic results. I'll hold off on peeking until my 1st post op appointment. Not to mention, I'm scared to touch anything at this point!
As far as the pain is concerned, it's been manageable except for this searing pain I intermittently feel which literally takes my breath away. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have very little appetite as well. Not sure if it's my binder being too tight or my stomach not being able to expand like it use to. I'm perfectly ok with that as I could stand to lose 10 pounds or so. Regardless of me not having an appetite, I did have 2 BM's after sipping on prune juice for an hour. Worked like a charm :)
The drains, oh these drains...I have read plenty of RS'ers comment on these nuisances and they were exactly right!! I'm really praying they are removed next week.

Yes, the drains are a nuisance! I'm glad you are healing well. My pain is manageable, its the foam/binder/tape that itches which is driving me nuts.

Hey there! I cut open one of my husband's undershirts and put it under my binder. With the front being open, I also have access to my breast. Huge help with some of the itch.
All those emotions are normal with such a big surgery and transformation! I hope most of what you're feeling is excitement though! Here's a list of questions to ask at your consultation(s). Please keep us posted on how it all goes!
