One week and one day away!!

Next Thursday, 11/21, I go in for a breast lift and tummy tuck, and I'm not as nervous about the surgery as I am about the time off work. I am a self-employed hair stylist and just had to take two weeks off for a hysterectomy. For this next surgery, I am unable to take as much time off, plus it's the beginning of the holiday rush. As of now my surgery is scheduled on a Thursday, I will have four days off, one day of two haircuts, a long and busy day and then 6 days off for the Thanksgiving holiday. Reading reviews on here, the first 4 or 5 days are pretty rough. Can anyone out there give me some insight, tips, recommendations? Or maybe scold me and tell me I'm an idiot?

I gave birth to 3 babies and breasted all 3 for a year, give or take a month. My breasts have always been a bit large for my frame and during pregnancy and breastfeeding they became gigantic and uncomfortable. They have since deflated but are still too large and saggy. I have diastasis, stretched skin and stretch marks, which no matter how hard I work out will never improve to my liking. I had a hysterectomy almost 3 weeks ago, so the bruise and two little incisions are from the laparoscopic surgery, which was my very first surgery btw. Due to having large fibroids and endometriosis I haven't been able to exercise like I should and put on weight and muscle tone has diminished. I'm so excited to get back in shape and having smaller, perkier breasts will be amazing! Honestly, I have always hated the attention my large breasts get, and the stares and comments bug me. I am always trying to hide them and find myself slouching, which is hard on the neck and shoulders. I look forward to being able to stand up straight, chin up, tits out! I have been VERY strict about following doctor's pre-op instructions. I am hoping for an easy and quick recovery.

I haven’t slept well the last few days because I think I’m nervous about surgery tomorrow! I did all of my hospital pre-admitting yesterday, worked a really long day and have a really long, busy day today. I’m not expecting to get much sleep tonight and have to check in to the surgery center at 5am tomorrow morning. Surgery is scheduled for 7am. I have been waiting for this for over 10 years and never thought I would actually get it done! My youngest child is now almost 12, and I feel it’s a good time to do something for me, even though I have feelings of guilt about it. Wish me luck!!! I will pay updates when I can:-)
