So, my initial plan was to have. Much needed tummy tuck, then my husband got the idea of implants in my head, so I was going to do both at the same time. After careful consideration and trying to plan this all out, I decided to hold of on the tummy tuck and just get the breast aug. Why?
1) tummy tuck takes 10-14 days recovery ( don't have that much time built up yet this yr to take off)
2) it will be a few more months at least until I get the money to cover both procedures at once
3) I'm impatient, I want something done now. :-)

The surgeon I'm seeing is currently using mentor, but is adding sientra so I chose sientra. From what I've read, the silicone is more cohesive, the warranty is better, and they have a lesser chance if capsular contracture. Also I get a little discount. Next wk I will go in for a second consult and the schedule my preop. Any ladies with sientra, please share your experience and results.

If you combine the procedures, you only pay for the Operating Room fee and the Anesthesiologist's fee once, therefore saving yourself a couple thousand dollars...might want to wait and save up and schedule them at the same time for that reason?

I know. That's why I wanted to do them at once. One recovery time. One anesthesia fee, one OR fee, plus a discount when u do multiple procedures. one proces. But, I would have to take 2wks off work for the tummy rick and I only have 1wk right now. It'l take me another yr to earn another wk. The the BA I can take 2days off and have the weekend. My work requires vet little physical activity. (i draw blood) Also it will take an undetermined amt of time to get the $ for both procedures at once. It would've be easier but something cane up and I'm $2k short of what I had. So I'm in patient and I just want to get something done. :-) plus I've lost more Weight than I wanted to which includes in the rear and I want it back, so u want to gain some weight back before the tummy tuck and if my butt isn't where it used to be or how I would like it, I'll have some fatto transfer there.

Thanks. And I know about the financing, but won't work for me because I have a recent deli quinsy on my credit report (forgot to renew my student loan deferment) and a recent collection. Unpaid $50 copay from the a hospital visit when I was pregnant. Totally forgot to pay. That not my score down big time.

Sports bra out of stock:-(

So, I've had these sports bras in my shopping cart on Walmart.com. I've been visiting the site frequently to check for other options or deals. I've been meaning to go to walmart for e last few weekends to try them on and maybe purchase in store if they have them, that way I can save on shipping and get the right size. So I finally make it to walmart on Saturday. They didn't have the fruit of the loom 2pack for $10.94. Only the 2 pack for $15 which comes with a black and grey and is lower cut. I prefer the higher cut one. Anyways, I purchase the danskin front zip sports bra I. 36c, I was looking for 34d; they didn't have it. Get home, go online to purchase e other 2 pack and it's sold out in the black/white/grey combo. So frustrated. I don't want any other color. He black and pink will match my scrubs everyday, but I have nothing else to wear the ore colors with. Bummed.
