I finally figured how to share my story from my smart phone. Yay!!! I've been looking on here for a couple months and I am pretty much a RS junkie at this point. I have a very supportive husband of 10+ years and two fun-loving children (G9 B6) I'm 30 years old. I had two natural childbirths that I loved, I plan to embrace this pain the same way. My biggest fear/anxiety/nervousness is that I won't be able to be the super mom I pride myself in being when I'm recovering. I work full-time as an office manager and my boss is very supportive of this as well. I plan on taking 2.5-3 weeks off and returning to do paperwork only at the beginning. I have worked very hard over the last 10 years to be in the physical shape I am in today. I actually weigh 30 pounds less than the day we got married. I only gained 25-30 pounds for each pregnancy but for my first one I was very ill and lost 23 pounds before gaining my first 8 pounds in my 3rd trimester. I gained all the weight in 2 months and it caused major stretching in my belly.
I'm now at the smallest I've ever been. 127.4. :). I'm 5'4. I've maintained 130's for over 3 years and just got a little boost in body sculpting when I started running in June 2012. I'm running my first 1/2 marathon on the 20th. (Just for fun) I originally wanted surgery on 21st but PS said he wouldn't risk putting me under dehydrated or fatigued. I respect that.
So I've always wanted a tummy tuck, and when we were approaching my first consultation 9/2012 my DH ever so kindly said "well since your going to be in surgery and its only a few more thousand dollars why don't you get some nice [RS bleep]." I started entertaining the idea. And then I tried them on and let me tell you. 300cc's = love at first sight. My face lit up and I couldn't wipe the smile off. Now I think I'm almost more excited then he is. I'm a very deflated 34B. possibly an A. I wear VS well. Both PS that I consulted with said I am borderline on a lift on one side. I opted to do the implants and go from there. I originally wanted 300 but after reading on here and looking at hundreds of pictures and stories I'm now leaving towards 320-340. I'm getting silicone.
Okay so I think that's the majority of information. I go tomorrow 1/16 for my pre-op and to pay. (My second biggest nervousness) I have the normal issues mommies and wives have of this being selfish. While my husband, friends & family have told me otherwise. I'm very open and honest about my upcoming procedures, I've worked very hard to get here. In 2010 I had my consultations scheduled and time off planned then I decided that I had to take our children to Disney first before I could do this and deal with the selfishness feelings. Did that in Feb 2012. Now I'm ready! Bring it. I look forward to sharing my experience with you ladies! And hope to add pictures tomorrow. I'm going to ask my PS to email me the ones they took.
Just getting home from my pre-op. I've never been...
