Living my best life!

I’m 36 years old, 5’7 and 185 lbs with three kids. My surgery is scheduled for May 31st with Dr. Sigal. I’ll be getting a breast augmentation - 560cc silicone - with lift, tummy tuck, and lipo of the flanks.

I’m excited for surgery, but the closer it gets the longer that time seems to drag out. I had my pre-op appointment on Friday and picked up my prescriptions this week. It seems that Lovenox comes in the form of injections that I will have to give myself every day for the first week after surgery. I’m a bit squeamish about that (of all things ????) but I imagine that things should still be numb so soon post-surgery.

By this time next week I’ll have a new body! Today we picked up everything on the pre-op list and I’m trying to think of some other things to make me comfortable during recovery. Instead of buying or renting a recliner to sleep in (as suggested by others on this site) I’m planning on camping out in a pillow palace on my comfy chaise sofa.

I’ve never had any kind of surgery before so I’m a little nervous, but I’m super confident in my surgeon’s skills and his team’s excellent care. Almost a year ago Dr. Sigal did an amazing job on my wife’s breast augmentation. The result is perfect and the scars have healed beautifully. When I look his other reviews on this site, I notice that the incisions also appear to be impeccable.

I’ll be sure to post some Before pictures soon!
