I'm going to start this by saying I'm both passive aggressive and OCD and vain very vain and therefore my stomach which is less than impressive must be improved to whatever level of improvement can be done. My breasts are fine and perky but not a lot there 36 b and not very full. I was intending on a December surgery and after careful thought I figured man I'm way less busy in July but without help from the hubby.so because of this 7 month bump up I feel the need to start tracking my thoughts and asking you ladies for advice. I am Beyoncé nervous about the TT and scar and possibility of a vertical one along with choosing the wrong implant size. I'm 5'7" 144 and sorta in shape. I can't believe I'm going from it will be cold and Xmas time to hot and summer. Although I do need to call ps and verify this and see if there's availability. I'm very involved on school board and coach tball and my kids are involved in everything all of our stuff requires a drive of up to 30 min so mid July to mid august is our only (nothing zone) I wonder if I'm not thinking about something for this time period.

I hope some of u ladies can aid in some advice on size I'm debating between 450cc to 600cc I want to be full but not with them so big there in the way for sports ...thoughts

I have supplies for the most part arnica, sports bra, I have a giant recliner couch already, breakfast tray, arnica gel, hearing pad, gauze pads, stool softener still need toilet riser (necessary?) and !?! What else?!?

Thanks for starting your story! I think "Beyonce nervous" has to be a new buzzword here on RealSelf. :) Here's a list of recovery supplies that another RS member put together. Good luck and keep us posted as your big day gets closer!

:) These boobs need an overhaul, especially after breast feeding. I'm considering just a small implant (sub 250 ccs, moderate plus) as I have minimal breast tissue plus I'm just paranoid that people would instantly know and then the questions and judgement would follow (I'm in a fairly small and conservative town) Checked out your pics and your smile is gorgeous!!! Plus I never considered Botox until I saw just how lovely your results are!

Not yet with Dr. Tholen but hopefully soon, husband will take the day off so I can make the drive - cannot wait! Will be looking out for your updates, even if you chose just to go with the TT your bod is going to look even more amazing. Good luck :)

Thanks yeah it was like 4 hrs to drive for the consult but I justify it by eating at one of minneapolis's awesome restaurants last time it was the lowry .... Yum glad I don't live there I'd be a cow I'm a foodie ... He is very straight forward and doesn't sugar coat. Not pushy at all and very informative. I liked that he literally didn't rush me at all and it was a Saturday um that's amazing

I have 4 kids 11,8,5,4 and I'm pretty nervous about taking care of them after , I have family that will help my BFF and my hubby. He farms so this time a year he's busy winter was going to perfect but eh? I'm pretty jazzed about the tummy tuck obviously I'm a little in the fence on boobs only because I have great ones just little but then I picture myself in a swimsuit and I'm like omg I need them. I am very athletic broad build so I think bigger breasts would fit my build better . I'm planning on silicone mod + but not sure how bi between 450-600 I'm thinking somewhere in the middle maybe 500 but not sure .
