I am very excited and nervous about my tummy tuck and breast augmentation in three weeks!
after a huge twin pregnancy (my babies' combined weights were 16.5 pounds) and then a 10.5lb baby after that, I was left with a big diastasis and loose skin. I have been wanting to get my stomach fixed ever since, and have always been interested in a boob job- I am so excited for my new body!

pre-op appt this week

my pre-op appt is this Tuesday, and I know that after I meet with my surgeon again, and finalize the details of the surgery (not to mention pay the bill!) it is all going to feel even more real!
a little more about me... I am 5'11" and 168 lbs. I wear a size 10 in most clothes. I have always been relatively trim and athletic, though I am currently not in my best shape. at differnt points in my life, I have been a runner, a dancer and practiced yoga often. one of the last times I went to a yoga class, the instructor told me that I shouldn't do one of the more difficult poses because I was "expecting." I left that class in tears, and haven't been back since! I can't wait to be flat again! I am looking forward to a mommy makeover this spring and a bladder surgery in the fall (I have major incontinence after vaginally delivering my youngest- she was a 10.5lb baby). I dream of running without peeing my pants, and wearing a bikini again! plus, it will be fun to have a little more up top- I have always had really small boobs, and though I'm not going very big (the goal is a full C, around 300ccs) I think my body will look more proportionate.

I had my pre-op appointment yesterday and the next time I see my surgeon will be the day of surgery- crazy! he confirmed that I have a hernia, which I had been wondering about. we discussed my abdominoplasty in more detail than we had at the first appointment, which was good. he marked me where he will make the incision, which was very helpful for me- the location of that big scar is an important point for me! we also talked more about my breast augmentation- my breasts are at slightly different heights, and he said that it was going to be a challenge to make them appear more even.
I spoke with the nurse about pre-op protocol (I am now off Advil and birth control pills until after surgery!) and she was very helpful in her recommendations regarding clothing, support garments,etc. she is actually having a BA with Dr. Lee today!
I left the office with all of my prescriptions that I will need, as well as a list of over the counter items (neosporin, probiotics, stool softener).
most nights, I have been having anxiety dreams about this surgery, but in my waking hours I am mostly just excited and looking forward to a few months from now when I am healed!
