WORTH IT
I've been reading and lurking since May 2014. Thank you everyone for posting the good, the bad, the ugly, the pain, the joy and definitely the pics. I really appreciate the time and effort.
Is there anything you know NOW that you wish you knew prior to your surgery(ies)? I really appreciate the honesty and candor so many of you provide.
I am 44. I have lost a significant amount of weight. I workout 7 days per week. I know this seems excessive but my rest days are "active" rest days. taking a simple stroll, hiking, hell - even grocery shopping at Wal-Mart is a workout. ?
I have this skin on my stomach. It's repulsive. It hangs when I am doing planks, push ups, yoga, sitting in the bath tub and it floats up. WTH? It's ok if I am clothed and it's tucked in, but otherwise, there is definitely an ick factor to it.
Breasts? these are no longer breasts. They are flaps of skin with nipples attached. I can push it all in a bra and appear to look respectable, but do not remove the clothing. Go to the doctor and I have a buffet of boobs to choose from. Big, small, I don't which one's will give me what I am looking for. I want the same size - just where they are supposed to be. :)
Will post more as the train wreck of emotions start taking in everything as the time draws near.
I have the pics from the surgeons office. Will figure out how to upload them. I seem to be getting an "error" every time I try. ?

Staring at boobs....
cupcake_runnerDecember 1, 2014
Called the PS's office. We haven't settled on a definite implant size. Yes, I realize my surgery is a couple of weeks away but I like to have all of my ducks in a row. And knowing what my breast size is seems a little important to me. lol. The receptionist (Ashley) is so stinking happy all of the time and was tolerant of my annoying phone call. (Must happen quite a bit - I hope I am not her only annoyance)
On another note.... I am staring at boobs all. of. the. time. Grocery store, gym, concert, gas station, etc). uuuggghhhh

It's going to get even better... soon you will be staring at YOUR boobs all.of.the.time. Seriously, at 3 months PO, not a day goes by that I don't stare at my body in the mirror. I never have to say anything but WOW!! I am very excited for you!

I am also staring at boobs all the time! I have always been a happy A cup and never wanted anything more. Now that I am left with just nipples I obsess over boobs. I still haven't picked my size yet, but I am thinking I want to go bigger than I originally thought. Good luck with everything!

Yep, all I'm doing is researching boobs, lol. It's like when you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, that's all you see everywhere. My BA is on 2/26, can't wait!

Did you decide on implants yet? Yep, your befores are very normal mommy pics, so you're going to look fabulous since you have a beautiful shape to begin with. Wishing you a great experience :)

Thank you.
Haven't decided yet. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday. I think I will just show him pics of what I do like and do not like so we both have a better understanding of what I am going for.
I was previously an F or G cup and never want to go that route again. Once I lost weight, I lost weight there as well and am pretty comfortable having a C cup. (Running, physical activities, and just plain comfort!!)
Thank you again for your comment!
