30-year Old with 3 Children. Oklahoma City, OK

I started having children at 18. I went from an A cup to a very large D cup. I only breastfed for about 3 weeks and my tatas quickly deflated. Baby # 2 came along at age 22 and I breastfed for 8 weeks. My boobs actually maintained shape and fullness. I was happy with them at that point. I divorced, remarried at age 27 and at age 28 I became pregnant with baby # 3. This time my new husband requested that I breastfeed longer. 10-months old I had decided I had enough. However, my boobs paid the ultimate sacrifice. I am happy with the fact I was able to breastfeed. About a year later I had to have a partial hysterectomy. I knew that my baby making days were over and I was okay with that. So here I am, ready for new boobies! I've lost 40 lbs and I can hardly wait. I'm nervous about the pain but I look forward to not rolling my boobs into my bra any longer. April 16th isn't far away but it seems like years.

I am so excited, nervous, ecstatic, worried, happy, and very ready for this day. I know I won't be happy or fun at first but I'm ready for next week to be here. :) I'm going to follow doctors orders to the word. I want as close to perfection as I can get. I don't want bad results because I've caused them. Hugs to all of the other April 16th surgery buddies. We've got this!! I can't wait to see our amazing results. I'll hopefully, update tomorrow.

I woke up this morning very tight but not unbearable pain. I definitely have no problems with wanting to eat either. I slept through the night except when my hubs woke me to make me take the pain meds I was prescribed. He's been an amazing nurse through this experience. I'm very thankful for that.

Post-Op visit: Dr. Brou... What can I say?! He's been an amazing surgeon. Patient, kind and if I had questions, he answers them without hesitation. Post-Op was at 9 this morning. He asked how I felt and my response was "sore, could've slept a little bit longer, tight but not unbearable and I was so excited". He laughed and said "I could've slept longer too." Haha! He asked if he could take a quick peek. He looked and said "your breasts look amazing, especially for only being day two." I turned to look and I've been so scarred but when I looked... I wasn't mortified. He did a great job. Now it's my turn to take care of his artwork. I was so happy I have cried tears of joy. This has been an amazing experience thus far!

I have attached what I started with and what I have now side-by-sides.

If you're struggling as to whether you could do this... I wouldn't struggle anymore. Wished I would've done this a long time ago. Losing my 40 lbs motivated me.
