ORIGINAL POST

Hello everyone! Usual story here...I have 2 kids...

Hello everyone! Usual story here...I have 2 kids and after nursing, my breasts have deflated and become not the perky size 34B I once had. Now, I'm pretty sure I'm a 34A, maybe smaller but I've just been wearing sports bras for the last couple of months and before that, it was nursing bras...anyway, after my first child, Hubby and I decided one more would complete the family and I would be able to get my mommy makeover.

I am 3.5 weeks post op from tummy tuck. I couldn't do them together bc I still had milk during my consultation June 4th but since then, I got on depo provera, which has helped significantly to dry me up! Needless to say, my doctor said that it would be safe to operate. And since Hubby is currently deployed and due to come home beg. of August, it is almost perfect timing. Now I am just counting down the hours...lol.

oh, here's my profile: 5'2", 96 lbs, getting 350 cc under muscle. Dr. will be doing measurements tomorrow again to help me determine which profile would be good for the look I'm desiring, which, btw is something Scarlett Johanssen-esh. I'm so excited! Though, kind of nervous bc doc said I was borderline lift..if I got them big enough, I wouldn't need one. But I trust his judgement. He's done amazing with my belly..I just wish the swelling would subside but one's body takes time to heal. Anyway! Will post pics in the a.m.!

So, I left the practice at around 10ish this morning...was still pretty doped up on anesthesia, which, btw, I wish I would have had the guy I had for my TT. I think the lady I had today over drugged me. Lol. I didn't have hardly any nausea w TT but today, I ended up throwing up about an hour ago. I feel a little better now but still queasy. My breasts look great from what I can tell...still have the strap over them. They are soft underneath where my actual breast tissue is and kind of firm on top. I'm pretty sore under my armpits and in between my breasts so I've been icing it down with covered ice packs. Not wearing any surgical bra per Dr.'s instructions. We'll see how tomorrows follow up goes. I was borderline lift so I'm kind of scared of sagging and ruining my perky new breasts!

So, I'm not even 24 hours post op from my BA. Can't sleep due to back being uncomfortable. My breasts have a tightness to them similar to when I stopped nursing and got engorged so I guess I am used to it. But my armpits are still soar like they were in basic training lol. My mom is such a God send...I don't know what I would do without her...she has been so helpful with the kids in all this. And my sister has helped tremendously as my trusty driver since we live about 1.5 huts away from PS. Can't wait to fly back to NC when Hubby gets back from deployment! He already loves them! Lol. Crossing my fingers for a smoothe post op appt today...not looking too forward to breast movement exercises--needless to day, I will be medicated! I know every woman's body is different and some women like myself have a gap between their breasts on their chest wall...I'm hoping with the mod plus understand that they will help close the gap a little. I'm not looking for a miracle lol but I love the look of a busty cleavage line. We shall see one they settle. Ugh, no matter how many times you brush your teeth after one throws up, there is still that nasty ass after taste. Blah. Nite, ladies! Will put up more pics later!
