Today is my one year anniversary! Having the Mommy...
WORTH IT$18,000
Today is my one year anniversary! Having the Mommy makeover was the best decision I made. I am so happy with my results! Will try to post pictures soon. My scars on my breasts are not even noticable. I had capsular constrictions which needed to be fixed (in office procedure-not a big deal). Good luck to those who are getting ready to have their surgery. You will be happy you did.

Thank you-I am also happy with the scars. They are healing nicely. I saw your pics-I think you look fantastic!

You look awesome! You sure are getting back to life really fast and again that is awesome!

Thank you-I am trying. There are still things I can't do. This may sound silly but I am uncomfortable sleeping on my side and I always loved that. It is really uncomfortable for my breasts. I think it will be a while before thay feel totally ok.

I love sleeping on my side too. I have recently begun doing that, but still find that my breasts feel uncomfortable and I'm at 5 1/2 weeks post op. I try to use a pillow in front of me. Time will make it better though! :)

I'm 4 months PO & I still sleep with a pillow between my boobs. Keeps the "top" one from pulling so much. I sleep in a sports bra about 5 nights a week. Sometimes I even find myself holding them both up whenever I go from horizontal to vertical. But it is more comfortable than it was St 2 months PO & it seems to reason that it will continue to get better.

Good to know. I always hold myself when rising from bed too. I sleep with the bra on as well. It is more comfortable that way. The nurse in my doctor's office said it takes a while before they feel like they are natural. I will be patient:)

Your husband I'm sure is POSITIVELY happy! Glad you are having fun with the shopping but be real careful in your spin class and don't hurt yourself. Your bod is smoooooooooth lady!

Got the OK to return to spin! I went to my first class...of boy! I couldn't believe how difficult it was! I took it easy but holy cow...it was difficult. I will be patient and just keep going-it is bound to get easier as time goes on:)
I also got the OK to stop wearing my garments which is great when I want to wear a short dress. I still like the security of the binder-the nurse in my PS office said to wear it while spinning. I don't think I would have gotten through the class without it. I have started shopping for clothes (fun!!). It is so nice to have things fit nicely. I am so happy I did this. (My husband seems happy too:)

Thanks. I try to give updates that can help other people see that life slowly does return to normal. I used to look at updates to figure out when I would start feeling better or when other people would resume certain activities. Whenever you do return to the gym, take it from me, go sloooow. You feel great but when you try to work out, your body will remind you that you need to take it slow because you are still healing. I have been walking more than anything but I will be so happy when I am comfortable spinning again:)

Wear your binder anytime you do cardio. It helps so much. Even on the bike since you are bent over.
August 12, 2011
Thanks..I will. I can't imagine trying to do a spin class without it. I was ok walking around the neighborhood, but I was more strolling than walking at a brisk pace. I went on the treadmill yesterday and wore the binder. It really does help. I think it helps with my posture also.

Hi teachermom, just reading your posts and pics. You have a really good scar and belly button, and breasts lifted really good! You look truly amazing!
August 14, 2011
Thanks-I appreciate that. I am very happy with my surgeon's work and the follow up care.
