My goals are to have the breasts, I've dreamed of having. I've always had small breast, so I've been in the itty bitty [RS bleep] committee all my life. Having 4 kids all you get after that is flubber for a tummy. I am 55 years old and I think it's time to get my body back and enjoy the rest of my days. I have been trolling this website for a while and have read so many stories, some that scared me and some that inspired me to get the surgeries I always wanted. My surgery is schedule June 6, 2016 with Dr. Jeffrey Sweat, MD at New Body MD. I don't know if I'm brave enough to share pictures of my old body, I might be willing to share pictures of my new body. (LOL) . I started researching Drs. and using this site as a guide. I feel I have chosen the right DR., to do my surgery. Looking forward to a new me and checking off my list in preparation to surgery.

Congratulations on your decision. I keep seeing your doctors name with positive reviews so that's awesome. Haha about the pictures because I understand. I posted mine and refuse to look at them again until post-op. Thank you for sharing your story.

I see that you are having your surgery June 9th, congrats. We do have similarities I also had a hysterectomy and I believe that's why that pooch never goes away. I too feel it's my time to get the surgery at my age. I will keep you posted.

Very nice. Your date is right around the corner. I hope you will share some pictures and how everything goes. What are you doing to prepare?
May 30, 2016
Yes, one week away, I'm super nervous but excited. I have all my supplies in a basket. I live in a two story home but I will be staying downstairs in the guest bedroom I have a recliner in that room, bathroom is close by. My husband will be taking off for the first three days I have family members come by to help out. Pretty much I'm set and ready to go. I've been hitting the gym to take my mind off the surgery. I'm not working so this is the perfect time. I read your review on our Doctor, how are you feeling now? He didn't want to see my wish pictures either. I will say I trust him and have confidence in him doing great work. I will post After pictures and try to give a weekly update. The Before pictures not to excited about posting those LOL. I saw them on my TouchMD portal that Dr. Sweat office set up. I was like hurry up and make me over LOL. I will also follow you to check out your progress. Cheers to our J Sweat NewBody's

Prepared and ready to go. My room is set up downstairs in the guest bedroom with a recliner, I have all my supplies missing one thing an adult coloring book. Everything is in place. Question what do I tell my teenage sons LOL. I say nothing but my daughters say you need to explain? I'm not working right now so I don't have to worry about taking time off. I did tell church members that I will be taking a vacation for the month of June as I do work in a couple different ministries. I'm curious to see their faces when I come back with big boobs. I mean what do you say because I sure didn't say what type of vacation I was taking. I will be posting again June 6th.

Hello it went pretty good. Hardly any pain stop taking Narcos and Valiums just taking Ibuprofen . Dr Sweat is excellent 525 cc under muscle looks natural . TT painless I don't know how. A little irritated Yesterday due to constipation. Finally went can I say oh my God what a relief that was. Minor throat irritation First couple of days due the tube in my mouth during surgery. Walking around the house hunched over is no fun but gotta deal with it. Getting out the recliner is a Challenge Overall I'm ok should get drain out next Friday. Trying to be the model patient Your gonna love Dr Sweat work

Wow that's awesome. How big were you before the implants? I just ordered my size yesterday. I think it will be a good size. Just curious about yours. How hunched over are you? I have class 6 days after. Really don't want to stand out like a sore thumb all hunched over. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes. Glad to hear your recovery is going smoothly.

Just had surgery this morning. I don't know how you managed to be pain free. I'm in a world of pain right now. The meds aren't doing much.
June 15, 2016
It will get better keep taking pain Meds . First couple of days is painful. I have a high tolerance for pain, so everyone is different. speedy recovery and to your pain Lessing
June 15, 2016
Forgot to ask what kind of pain Meds were prescribed. Also you had the breast lift?

June 15, 2016
Thanks. Norco and Valium. First I only took 1 norco because sometimes it makes me nauseated. Probably should have just taken 2. I took a second one 2 hours later and that seemed to help more. But now I'm afraid I won't be able to do 2 together now. Since I don't any to wait before the pain come back too much.
June 15, 2016
Once you get your pain manageable you will be ok. I still haven't posted a picture LOL your good you posted right after surgery.

Today is the day to regain my strength. I am a athletic person so I become bummed out when I'm not able to do some form of exercising . Today I walked around the backyard for 10 minutes and light stretching. I am trying to stand a little taller, that hunched over feeling I can't do because that makes my back hurt more. I'm writing this for myself and not trying to make anyone feel some type of way about their progress. Listen to your body and do what you need to do. Everyone heals at their own pace. I thank Dr. J. Sweat for telling me not to be stuck on the couch and his suggestion was to walk the day of my surgery, which I did. I'm going to push forward gain my independence back. I am happy with my results so far and one day I will be brave enough to post a picture, I promise. I have an appointment this Friday hopefully my 1 drain will be removed and if its removed I might try to dance my way out of the office. Things I do to help Yoga breathing, meditation and listening to lifescape music of ocean breeze to go to sleep. Eating a high protein diet and drinking plenty of water. Wish me luck on Friday appointment NO MORE DRAIN

Good luck at your visit tomorrow and I hope for you that it does come out. Heck I've fantasized that my docs office would call me tomorrow and say he had a cancellation and he'd love to remove my drain. Lol, one can dream. Sounds like you're having an excellent recovery, you go girl!
June 17, 2016
