Polavarapu Doll ;) - NYEE Teaching Hosp, NY (WORTH IT)

still in love with my new tummy and working on my scar

WORTH IT$4,495
It I over a year and after getting my breastlift I started using mepitac. I said what do I have to loose by using it on my tt scar even though I'm far out. Well I only wish I had used it sooner. I like the mepitac silicone tape better than the scar away silicone tape. I can see some areas improving after a month. If you read on Iferraro's blog she used it and her scars are practically invisible......Im still in love with my belly. :-).....

Hey sweetie, So glad to see and hear u are doing so well, as for me still not so good. Last time we connected I was in the process of getting my money back, which I did but I wanted to know if u were familiar with NYU plastic surgery program (residents). I have a consult on Wed@150 dollars..smh, they dont give u a price range like NYEE. I also tried NYEE but it was too late bc they were transitioning the new fellows that start in June so Im on the list, was told to call back then. I am starting to believe maybe im not suppose to do this feeling sad :(

Blooper!!!! I posted yesterday then realized I was a day early *_* ay yayay! Scattered brains. I can't even blame it on the pain pills cause I ain't taking any lol..

Thinking back When I booked my date I was very excited to get my belly fixed. Upon telling a few people of my plan to have surgery I encountered that many of them were not happy for me. Comments I received- " aren't you proud to wear your stripes?" ** "you should be proud of motherhood" ** "you don't need that!" ** "that's being vain" ** " that's nature and I would leave it alone" ** " are you menopausal?" ** " what's gotten in to you?" ** " are things okay with you and daddy ?" ** " Is there another reason for you wanting this?"** " can't you just go to the GYM and work out?" ** " I love you just the way you are, you don't need a tt" ***those are the ones that remember**
They put a damper in my spirit at that time, I began to question my decision. I was crying one day while praying and decided to get undressed and go to the big mirror. I looked at myself and got very mad, I sobbed even more and I still wanted my tt. I said " Lord all I want is to look better and feel better about myself, that's all I want. I want to wear pretty dresses that fit nicely, I'm. Sorry if I am being vain as that Is not my intention. I want to looks pretty in my night wear, and house clothes, I don't want to look that big in my waistline. I'm still a woman that would like to look better for my myself and my husband. Am I wrong Lord? I don't want to walk half naked around I mainly want it for myself. As I was having this conversation with my heavenly father I cried and cried til I was tired. I felt peace in my heart after. Thoughts came to my mind " do you think it was an accident you stumbling with the teaching program?" " Your ways are not my ways" " don't you know that I know your hearts desires and the situation before you even ask?" .. Right there I felt grateful and started thanking him for the blessings. He knew the situation all around. Specially the money part. I didn't even know that these programs existed. Now that I had my heavenly father's approval there was no one stopping me. The comments, the doubts, the guilt kept coming and going but at the end of the day I still wanted the belly fixed and so I got it fixed.*********************************************
Don't give up !!!!

A year later I'm still very happy and grateful. I look better and feel great. I was blessed with Dr. Kiran and glad that she was not intimidated by my huge belly. She took the challenge and succeeded. **************************************************
Hubby - he is very happy and amazed by my new belly. He apologized for giving me a hard time. The change was for the better. I get wayyyyy more attention from hubby & many gifts here and there from him. Now he looks at dresses and tells me " lets go into that store to check them out" he bought me a few that he liked (ugly ones) black and white that I accepted gracefully and wore them too. He was so proud cause he found pretty dresses for wife ( which was nice) but I decided to go shopping while he was at work better, so I could choose what I want it ;D....Hubby did go thru a period of insecurity that was getting on my nerves. Sometimes I felt like loosing my cool and my lady manners but I didn't. Let's just say he survived that one lol.. He had to deal with his issues himself, he was tripping over nothing cause he went EVERYWHERE with me. After seeing that I was still dressing and acting like a lady he has been doing better ( but his guards are not down)................................almost forgot! He's working on loosing weight now ;)

Wife Duties- well I have step it up a notch to help hubby. I praise him more, I send him nice and naughty texts (not too naughty) he says sometimes coworkers asks him why is laughing but he can't say or show them. I been buying him little things here and there like a Nautica body spray, little perfume and stuff like that.

Now 7 days post op breastlift at the same hospital with Dr. John Curran. He is awesome ladies, another blessing. So far hubby has been spoiling me but he laugh a few days ago when he saw me in bed typing away and said " your milking it ha!!" And I. Said "yes I am" LoL*************************

Life has many bumps along the road but don't let that stop you, Keep going. There are still many blessings ahead :-)

Thank you for such an uplifting message. G-d wants us to be happy. There is nothing wrong with what you did. I hope you can take a lesson away from this: Don't ever let anyone steal your joy. Listen to your inner knowing. Follow your heart.
