Finally Getting a Lift After Many Years of Waiting. - Reno, NV

Since I was 18 (Im now 22) I have wanted a breast lift. When I was 18 I was approximately 135 pounds and a cup size D. I loved the size of my breasts, but wanted a lift. I got a consultation for the lift and was quoted about $6,000. At the time I could not afford it, so it remained a future goal.
Well over the past 4 years I went from 135 pounds to 171 pounds, my breasts would spew out of a DD sized bra, and they became even more saggy. I spent a year dieting and I have managed to lose 50 pounds, so I am about 125 pounds now, and a size B/C cup size. However, now I don't just have saggy breasts, I have tons of extra skin on them, and they are smaller then I would like. This past summer I got another consult and it was determined I want a lift and an augmentation. My doctor highly discourages getting the 2 surgeries at once because it often leads to less than desirable results once healing is finished, so we just talked about the lift. I am getting a full anchor lift on December 22nd at 10 am. In approximately 1-3 months I will be having a second surgery for my augmentation, hopefully silicone and size DD. I am very nervous, but super excited!Updated on 22 Dec 2011:I have my surgery today at 10. I am fairly nervous, mainly about anesthesia. I will update once my surgery is done :)

I am not sure why my post has so many spaces lol. So, I am finally just getting out of my anesthesia haze nearly 24 hours after surgery. I did not do well with it, any time I moved I would throw up all the way until about 1030 this morning. My throat also hurts from the tube they placed in it.
Once I woke up from anesthesia I had a hard time remembering to breath, which was kinda scary. As far as pain, my stitches sting, but nothing awful. I have nipple sensation already, I can feel when they get hard. I can look down between the padding and my breasts are perky and firm, and I am assuming they are going to look awesome! I will be able to take a shower and just have my compression bra and steri-strips on tomorrow. I will take pictures to show what they are looking like.
