Getting TT & BL this morning, FINALLY(2/27/2015)!!! It wouldn't allow me to put today's date in. I'm Super excited, anxious & nervous. Will finally have my body back after 16 years!!! After praying & fasting about this situation and bringing it to the Lord, I'm confident my PS will do an AWESOME job and everything will go well. If going with BA, I suggest doing research, as they are not permanent & will have to be replaced at some point. There are other issues with mammograms, possibility of bursting & hardening of breast muscles and more. Not advising against them, just suggesting you do your research before making that decision. I decided to go with just a breast lift & tummy tuck. It was a hard decision as it was only a $200 difference in BL & BA. Well pray for me RS Fam, I'll be a new woman this afternoon!!!

God bless you! I admire your courage and the fact you DID your research! As a recent explant survivor, I would agree that your choice is one I would have chosen 13 years ago had I known the real truth of BA and its future risks! Speedy recovery to you!

Well, it's been about 24 hrs since my surgery. I feel great. Walked around all yesterday. I've been getting up & down by myself since I got home yesterday. The more I walk, the better I feel. I'm able to stand straight up now. I'm even able to drain my own tubes. I'll be able to see my boobs tomorrow. Don't get to see my tummy until Tuesday. I only take 1 Percocet every 4 to 5 hours, that's it. No other meds. I have Demoral but I don't take it. I wish all of the pre ops well.

Wow! So glad to hear you're feeling well and moving around easily. Did you have a full tummy tuck with muscle repair?

And one more question...TT vs c-section. Which is worse in your opinion?
March 1, 2015
Yes, full TT with muscle repair.
