After wishing and thinking about this for a very long time and finding out how many people in my circle actually had plastic surgery I realized this procedure was a possibility for me. I have talked with a lot of people about their experience, had in depth discussions with my husband and finally made the decision for myself that this was what I wanted. My husband wasn't thrilled about the breast implants, but I knew personally just having a lift would render me unhappy with the results; I just don't have enough volume to keep them the size they are and I don't want to go smaller. I want the pretty round, upright and firm breasts. He's always been supportive but that alone I had to decide and did decide to do implants along with the lift.
I've never known life without some form of tummy. I was overweight my whole life and then I had kids, topping out at over 200lbs after my second child. About 8 years ago I managed to lose 50lbs, but was always frustrated that my tummy just sagged and my boobs looked like deflated balloons. It was disgusting to me. Not to mention my husband at the time (ex now) told me my stomach looked like a vagina when I bent over. It was a cruel comment which has stayed with me. For years I have been super self conscious about my tummy and boobs. I have to shut my brain down when I am intimate with my new husband because all I can think of is how disgusting he must find me (although he's never once said anything cruel or hurtful, only tells me how beautiful and sexy I am).
My husband is super supportive and is 100% behind me and ready to care for me. He helped me work out the funding and encourages me to do what I need to do to be happy with my body. At my first consult, in the harsh florescent lights of the doctors office he looked and me and said "sweetheart, I don't know why you think you need surgery because you're beautiful". It was very sweet.
I was able to secure the funding and book my appointment for June 1st with Dr. Neaman in Salem. His name kept coming up every time I spoke to someone about it. It was $100 consult fee unlike many that are free. I also made a trip about 50 miles to Portland to check out a doctor there, but decided that the 2-3 days making that 100 mile round trip after my surgery would be difficult and Dr. Neaman seemed fantastic.
I am now 22 days from surgery and my pre-op is scheduled for Tuesday. I am beginning to put my list together of what items I may need after my surgery. I also find in the days that come that I am getting more terrified and have to tell myself to stop thinking about it. I know the only way to get the results I want is to endure the surgery but it is scary regardless. Because I've read so many Real Self reviews that have helped me, I hope my story can help someone else.

So nervous!

20 days out. Waking up at 4am thinking about it. I am scared, but know the only way to change my body is get this done. I’ve lost weight and I workout, my tummy never goes away, always looking 4-6 months pregnant and my boobs are so saggy. I’m excited but terrified!
Got some button down pj’s for recovery. Those of you who have had a mommy makeover, what do I need the first week? Thanks

Lab work today.

Headed to the Lab this morning to do all my pre-op labs. It’s starting to sink in that this is happening. I’m obsessed with what my belly and boobs look like now and can’t wait for them to look the
way I’ve always dreamed. Being overweight my whole life I’ve always had a belly and big droopy breasts.
I’ve begun tanning, which I don’t normally do, but I feel like if I have a tan, my hair, nails and toes done I can feel somewhat normal when I look like Frankenstein; all appointments are made.
I usually sleep with some type of bralet and last night I put on one that I got for after my surgery and the thought of having pretty breasts that actually stay put is so exciting.
I always look for people like me on here to see what results might be similar and I like the ones that tell me their height/weight so I can get an idea. Therefore, I’m 5’6 and 173lbs. I wear a size 8 and my bra is a 36D at VS. I wonder if they will change.
I’ve also embarked on a strict Paleo diet and doing CrossFit 4+ days a week so I can be in better shape for what I’m about to put my body through.
My pre-op is Tuesday and I’ve got a long lot of questions going.
