well I scheduled it for sure today!! I'm so excited to get this done. A little nervous about recovery and such, but mostly excited.
I had 2 consults, and feel very confident about my choice for my plastic surgeon. Realself has helped me immensely in getting enough guts to go ahead and do it. It's so nice to see it from people's point of view instead of wondering about who is "editing" or benefiting from the before/after pictures and comments on a plastic surgeons website.
Both surgeons I consulted with told me very similar things and that I do have a lot of excess skin on my stomach (yea! It's not just fat), and my poor breasts are saggy enough they both recommend a lift as well. (not comfortable posting nude boobie Picts on line, so hope that helps the visual...they're pretty deflated) Looking at doing about 250cc implants, and hopefully that along with the lift will get me back to my small perky C (pre-kids size)

Then a bit about me. Im 29. I have 4 kids; 5, 4, 2 and my baby is 10 months old. My husband is fantastically supportive of me doing it, but in no way pushy. He just wants me to be happy and comfortable about me, and in my own skin. I workout regularly 4-6 days a week either running, doing p90x, or Insanity. I'm 5'4 and 118 lbs.

Let the countdown begin!!

It's starting to seem more real...12 more days! Trying to get the last minute things taken care of. What are all your thoughts on the arnica and bromelin? Are they worth it? Gel or pill or both? My husband works in the health food industry so I'm no stranger to homeopathic stuff and I'm a regular supplement taker. Also what do you all eat following surgery? How's the appetite? I'm thinking I'll be pretty passed put from the pain mess (oh how they make me loopy, I hate taking them) so I was thinking protien shakes and greens for most my meals for the first 72 hours, to get something in my system and to get the healing process started. Is this realistic?

Takes with my plastic surgeons office today to get my mess called in and measurements for my girdle and stuff. These next few days are going to fly by!! I hope!! :) thanks to all you real self ladies for all your support and encourgement. I don't know why I feel so guilty even thinking about telling people. Only my mom and hubby know so far, and I really don't want anyone else to know. So thanks for providing a place to talk!
