We all get scared, I was scared at the office prior to surgery. I am so happy I stuck with it. Recovery has it's ups and downs, but each day it gets easier and you'll see the same!

Thanks! I had to postpone my surgery until November so now I have lots of time to read more profiles and see how everyone else is doing. The one common thread here is that everyone is happy that they did this. I'm hangin on to that. Wishin it was November already!

Hang in there...your day will be here before you know it. Although I am sorry you have to wait :)

Me too! But it will give me more time to work out and get in better shape so that I can heal faster. Plus...it's much easier to wait through the summer than the winter.
These are all the things I keep telling myself. I want it to be November NOW...lol.
We're going to Vegas during my time off and then taking the new bod to Hawaii in the spring. Lot's to look forward to. :o)
By the way, your 1 year post op pics look amazing. You are my inspiration!

I am excited for you! Hawaii sounds wonderful...stock up on the new suits for that trip:)
I am feeling so good these days and completely happy I did all of this. Please keep in touch both before and after your procedure! I will be anxious to hear about everything:)
Hugs to you!

Funny thing is, I haven't had a swim suit on in public for about 20 years. Now, after seeing everyone's wonderful results, I'm looking forward to wearing one again!
I saw a friend of mine today who is 2 days out from her breast reduction and she is SOOOOOO happy. She looks great! It was very inspirational.
Is is November now???

You are also going to look wonderful and want to be wearing the suit in public! I won't lie it does take some getting use to. But once you break out of your box you will love it.
I never in my wild dreams thought I would be wearing a bikini in public again at the age of 47. But why not...right:)

OMG!!! I have an associate at the clinic where I work who, as it turns out, had a breast reduction on May 2nd. She went to the same Dr who will be doing my tt and reduction in November.
She stopped by my office yesterday to show me her results. I am so inspired! The pictures on this website keep me motivated for sure but seeing results in person is an unbelievable experience. I am so grateful that she thought of me and decided to come in.
She looks AMAZING!!!
Still can't wait for November! Thank you again to all you ladies who share your most intimate photos with us to encourage us and keep us looking ahead!
My friend has encouraged me to take pic and get them posted so I can join in the fun.....

Ok,so, I have spent the last few hours pouring over this website (again). I'm having a breast reduction and a tummy tuck on November 14th. Had to postpone it twice already but this time, nothing short of death will keep me from it. Death or fear. I'm not so much afraid of the TT, all of you wonderful ladies have shared your stories and it has put my fears to rest. It's the breast reduction that has me shakin in my shoes. Both my mother and my aunt had BR's and both of them were soooo sorry. My mother even had an augmentation afterward because she was traumatized by the differece in her body. I guess she just got used to being large breasted. I need your help..... I need to hear success stories from you girls who have done this and are happy with it. My mother has me scared to death....
Thanks gilrs...xoxo

Hi Salem,
I am so happy to see that you created a profile! Hurray...stick with me and I will help you through this process:)
My list of questions for the Dr is growing daily.
:o)
LOL..you do that! You know where you can always find me.
You are so sweet:) You will get through this and will end up with a nice new tummy.
It is a bit unsettling to post the before pics but it's ok. We have all been there posting our lumps and bumps to the world. It actually feels really good and motivating to get them out there.
Once they are posted you will look at them and get even more excited to be able to post the after pics. But you do whatever you are comfortable with. No pressure....when you are ready.
That is ok. You will know if and when you are ready to post. If it bothers you then by all means keep it private.
