I am booked for a total makeover!
I am having a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, vaser lipo to abdomen and flanks and breast augmentation.
I went for 5 consultations and finally decided on Alberto Di Giuseppe with Surgicare (part of the hospital group). I am going to Dolan Park Hospital for my procedure.
I have always have small breasts and said I would have them done by the time I was 25, but it just never happened! To be honest after having two 10lb babies my stomach became more of a priority to get sorted for me. I went from a tall slim size 10 to not being able to fit into a 16 after each pregnancy (i put on about 5st each time!). I lost the weight really quickly both times and was back to a 10/12 within a few months. After splitting with my husband i was terrified thinking i was a freak for having such a saggy and stretch marked tummy and I hid my stomach. I have gotten over the part where i think im the only one who looks like this... i know its a byproduct of pregnancy and the associated weight gain. But i still hide my tummy. I cant wear a bikini, i hide it from my boyfriend, i hate my tummy! My friends couldn't understand why i wanted it done... until i sent them my pre-op pics :) it is hidden well under clothes, but it is in intimate situations, and swimwear situations that my tummy is an issue.
I am going away with a group of gorgeous, young, child-free girls at the end of August which has made me actually book up to have this done after all the years of wishing for and talking about it! I have an opportunity to get the money for the surgery, its something i have always said i would jump at given the chance so here i am! Finally booked for the 19th May 2015.
i feel like i have been through every emotion... excitement at the consultations, to guilt at spending the money so selfishly, fear of the actual surgery, dreading the recovery with 2 kids to look after, worry over taking time off work, worries about what message it sends to my kids, dreading the 2.5 hour drive home following survery... but I know this is something I want to do for myself.
I am a single parent, i work hard for me and the kids, i bought my own flat last year. Got the prioritised bits done!! And i have wanted this forever... so why not now?! Wish me luck!

Before pics and boob sizes

So here are some before pictures.
Just realised I didn't discuss implant sizes! I have always worn a 34A/B, but got measured today for the first time in my life and I am a 34C (shock!)! I have tried a 340cc sizer and to be honest it felt huge but that is probably because I am not used to having any breasts at all!. Throughout my 5 consultations I was recommended anything from a 300cc to a 500cc. I have asked my surgeon for a big bigger, natural look, appropriate for my frame, and he has advised a 500cc for my right breast, and a 450cc or 500cc (will decide in theatre) on my left as it is a bit bigger. The surgeon uses Motiva implants. 2 surgeons measured me as needing a 13cm diameter so the 500cc fits the bill. He has advised that anything with a smaller diameter will not suit my body shape and size.This does scare me as it sounds huge, but I am going to trust his professional judgement and go with it!
Feeling excited today looking at swimwear! Cant concentrate on my uni assignment! MUST.STOP.THINKING.ABOUT.SURGERY!
I do need to make a list to make sure I don't forget to do anything before Tuesday! Wish i had booked Monday off now!

Im really excited today!
Had my phone call from the hospital today. My driver is picking my up at 4am on Tuesday morning (waaayy early!).
So I went and bought my toiletries, i have my button front nighties, dressing gown, slippers and medical bra ready too :)
I ordered some ScarAway strips today too! Does anyone have any experience of using these??
Cant wait to get work and uni assignment done so I can have an early night Monday! Eeek!!
