WORTH IT$10,000
I am a 43 yr old married mother of two boys 23 and almost 21 years old. Never did I imagine I would be able to have this procedure. This website has been a true source of information and TRUTH . It helped my decision to be an informed one. I am going to have my surgery on August 21 about seven days before my 44th birthday, what a perfect birthday present !! It has been a real encouragement to read all of the information on the procedure and the recovery so I know what to REALLY expect post op. my pre-op appt is on Friday Aug 10th. I am very excited and nervous all at the same time. I feel like a kid at Christmas.....

Along with the TT I am also having lipo to flanks, hips ,thighs and Brest lift w/aug. From what I read this is common to have all done at the same time. My first son was a C-Section and that was not to unbearable but then again I was only 20yrs old. The recovery was a pretty easy one. Has anyone had a breast lift w/o the augmentation and wished they had ? I would really

So today was my pre-op visit so it is starting to become more real, especially after I wrote the check ! The guilt of spending so much money on myself also began to set in, but after some thought I began to look at the bigger picture. Let's face it ladies because we are so uncomfortable with our bodies we are less likely to enjoy our time with our children and our husbands (wife). So if you do the math and take the money spent and divide it by the number of years you have left on this earth.....which by the way will be filled with much joy and happiness... It really is not that much money after all ; )
At least that put my mind at ease.
I have 11 days left until my surgery and the nesting phase has begun. I have started to clean like a crazy lady so I won't be tempted to do too much too soon. I am used to working out six days a week so this down time will not be an easy one for me. All of you ladies who have had surgery keep posting your post-op status it has helped me to prepare for I will be going through

Hey! You are going to love this site! So much info on here. I think it depends on the look you want after your lift or aug that will help you decide what you get. Your PS will know the best options for you.
i have not had surgery but when I described to my PS my idea of perkiness(everyone has a different idea of what perky is) I decided to go with a lift and aug. I really wanted upper pole fullness and my breast not touching my rib cage - if that makes sense. But everyone is different on what they want to look like.Â
I look forward to following your story! :-)

Dear Blonde
Thanks... Yes that totally makes sense and I understand what you are saying. That is exactly how I described it to my PS and his response was the same. Thanks again and I will let you know how it goes

Omg you are so right enjoying times with our families. I really do not like doing certain things like the beach and pool- its warm here @9 months out if the year. I do them but maybe a little less then I should! Good point!

Thanks. My husband has been very involved in this whole process. He told me he already sees a change in me and I haven't even had my surgery yet. I am looking foward to feeling positive about my body once again

That's a great way to out it feeling positive about your body!! I am so looking forward to that too!
Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! It does seem common to have both surgeries done at once. I'm glad you found a doctor you're comfortable with (the most important part of this whole process). Please keep us posted on how you're feeling as you get closer to your big day.
