Went for my consultation a few weeks ago and have confirmed my surgery date of December 30. I would do it sooner but work is very busy at the moment so it will be performed during Christmas break. I'm very excited. I can't believe it's taken me a few years to go through with it. The cost was one thing as we all know life gets in the way; and, being a career woman and mother, I don't have much time to be off. I just finally got tired of dealing with the pooch and my breasts not being perky let alone remotely large. Ready to feel more womanly again.

It's going great! Better than I expected. I think for tt the best advice I received was from one of the other comments from a fellow RS'er and that is to move around as soon as you can tolerate it. Within reason of course like walking only. No twisting whatsoever. Please let me know how you do! @ready4nxtlevelme

Got all medications filled, preop necessities obtained, and everything in order before my surgery on Friday. I am a little nervous. Had a nightmare one night that my breast augmentation was done but looked only slightly bigger and not the large ones I wanted. Right now, I'm hoping surgery goes smooth and recovery is swift. A prayer would be most welcomed. ????

My husband will be in charge of household and our children plus taking care of me. He does a lot around the house and with the kids that I feel a little guilty having to rely on him for everything. But he seems happy to help. God bless him.

I will post preop photos tomorrow or Friday so you can see the complete before. Until then, hoping all is well.

Best advice the sooner you start moving around and off the pain mess the quicker your recovery. I returned to work day 17 First couple days are the worst. Happy recovery

I wasn't able to post picture before surgery. I'm still in much pain. I will write more when I don't feel so groggy. This is what I could manage to take. I was hoping for 533cc but my PS was only able to put 492cc. My breasts are so tight along with my tummy. Will post more tomorrow. ????

Oh my gosh very swollen and sore at the moment. It's day 4 post op and it gets easier to move around with each day. I did have to cough yesterday. That was total misery. My liposuction areas and my breasts hurt the most when I move. My PS did lipo on my flanks and it is tender and pretty much black and blue. I'm going to post a new pic tomorrow. Thank you so much for checking on me. Hoping you are doing very well. Xo Kareen
