WORTH IT
I just scheduled my TT and BA for Sept 26. After reading some of the stuff on here I am really nervous for recovery. I have 3 kids - 8 yr old girl and 5 yr old twin boys. The pregnancy with the boys, unfortunately, did my stomach in. I have always been very flat chested so I look forward to having something there!

I went and did my blood work today - 3 little vials of blood - easy! Hoping it all comes back OK. I have to see my family doctor on Thursday and back to my PS on the following Thursday for my final decisions on size etc. It's getting closer!

Best of luck to you, I spent last couple days before surgery getting my "area" ready, getting fresh foods in the house, making up a few dishes for me and/or my husband and just making sure I had everything I needed, lol, I ended up even renting an electric hospital bed for my living room and at first was thinking I was nuts but it ended up being wonderful, some people have used walkers after surgery due to walking bent over, I kind of wish I would have thought about that, I laid out loose clothing, like gym shorts and muscle shirts which is what I wore for a while, best of luck and if you have concerns or worries or questions most of the gals here are great with helping out, good luck to you !

Thanks! I don't have a walker or a hospital bed but I did buy a used recliner and I'm hoping that will be good enough.

the recliner seems to be great for most all the girls, best wishes sent your way

I was super stressed out on Monday! I called the PS surgeons office to see if they could give me something for the anxiety and while I was talking to the nurse I burst into tears. How embarrassing! She said they don't normally give anything and that the doc was out of the office that day but she would talk to him the following day and see what they could do. The next day she phoned me (I thought they had forgotten about me) and they did give me a script for Ativan. Since I have it in the house now, I don't really feel like I HAVE to use it but just knowing I have access to it makes me feel better. I will probably take one tonight to sleep - depending on how I am doing. I am going to do my last minute running around today and try to get the house cleaned. I also took some before pics yesterday and will post them soon.
