Where to begin? I've always wanted a ba. Ever since i was 18 and felt unproportional. I'm 5'10" and normally with around 140. VS says I wear a 36C but after 3 kids i think it's a pretty deflated C. I put any thought of a ba on the back burner telling myself or would be a gift to myself for my 35th bday.
Well, 5 weeks after delivering my 3rd soon and having a tubal i deceleration a umbilical hernia. It was pretty painful at first and very ugly. When i went to the general surgeon she suggested fixing it right away but said that my muscle separation could cause problems later down the road. How do you fix that? Abdominoplasty. A tummy tuck? I'm not so sure about that. I agreed that i would like to meet with a ps just to see what she had to say, i meant i wasn't even 3 months pp.
The ps was so nice and personable. The wanted to get me in for a full tt with hernia repair on Dec. 31st. I had to take out a loan from my retirement and didn't get the money in time so it was pushed back to Feb. 11th. Well, when the gs called with the post op hernia restrictions i knew i was going to have to wait until my lo was at least walking. Less then 8lbs for 6 weeks just isn't doable.
So, i scheduled for the end of the year when lo will be almost 15 months old. And i decided that since I'm going under the knife i might as well save up the rest of the year and do my bday present early. I have a consult in March to discuss the specifics and I'm scared and excited all at the same time.
I'm happy I'll have a whole year to get back to my pre pregnancy weight but I normally lift heavy 4 days a week and I'm not going to be able to do that with a hernia. I've also been dealing with some pp depression and i think some of it has to do with situational stuff,like the hernia so I'm hoping taking a low dose of zoloft for a while will help and I can wean off between now and sx time. I'm scared of it too bci haven't even picked it up from the pharmacy yet.
So i have a while year to get in the best shape of my life and then transform into a sexy beast. I know I'm going to deal with feelings of guilt between now and then bc it's a lot of money that could be spent elsewhere but i know it's something I've always wanted and if i have to repair the hernia i might as well do the other and be happy with the results. I work really hard to stay in shape and it would be nice to see that hard work pay off.
Going to try to post some pics so that i can remind myself why I'm doing this.

If you're worried about the Zoloft, start slow and take half your dose for a few days until you feel better about it. When I first started I had a little bit of tummy upset, but it went away. It is great for situational depression! Good luck with this journey and please keep us posted!
