Im 35 and mother to 5 kids. I have wanted a BA...

Im 35 and mother to 5 kids. I have wanted a BA ever since I had my child 14 years ago. I was a full 32C/D pre babies. Since breast feeding and weight loss after pregnancy my boobs never returned to their full shape. I also developed a stubborn area around the belly button from the stretching. I had 4 more children and breastfed and have lost the volume towards the top of my chest. Im now a deflated 32B/C.
The surgeon helped me decide what size to go to. I am aiming for a 32D/DD. He also suggested the vaser as I am a UK size 8. A tummy tuck was suggested by the nurse but I thought it would be too much just for the areas I need. I'm having full stomach and pubis area which is a fatty area I've had ever since I was a kid. I'm looking forward to not having to hide it in swimsuits when I take the kids swimming :) I also can't wait to throwing away all of my heavily padded bras and being able to fill a proper bra! I have been waiting so long for this and more excited than nervous. I have prepared so much and will share what I have found. Pre op photos to follow later today.

Day of surgery

My admission time is at 10.45am. Im up at 6am and drinking a litre of lucozade as requested. I hate lucozade so this is hard! Still not nervous, more anxious about the state of the house and packing for the hospital.
Last night I ate a high carb meal and this morning my stomach feels horrible. Going to go up for a shower soon then I'll be on my way ????

Arrival at the Highgate Hospital London.

Arrived at 10.45 and shown to the room at 11am. The room was very basic, not the 4 star hotel room others had said it was. Ensuite bathroom was very old but clean. Waited for the nurse to come in and explain what was happening. I had to bring my 3 year old as no one could look after him. Partner rang for coffee and it was brought to our room, can't fault the service. No expenses to pay, it was all included :)

Provider Review

From my first appointment with the surgeon I was unsure what sizes to choose. As I am petite (5ft 1" and 112lbs) I was worried about being too big up top. I tried 3 sizers on with the sports bra and when I tried the 400cc I was like "wow". He said they would suit my frame and agreed that they would be best because I might regret no going bigger. In regards to my vaser he suggested the 2 areas on my abdomen, lower and upper to smooth it out and I requested a fatty area on the pubis area which I have hated since a young age. He assured me that he can do a good job there. The staff have been great too, I have had numerous questions and they have made me feel at ease. As i'm have 2 different procedures I have been worried about recovery as I am a busy full time working mom of 5! I didnt feel pressurized into any of the procedures and glad that a tummy tuck wasn't suggested by the surgeon as they are around £7000!! plus healing time is a lot longer.
