$18,700
Hi everyone! I've been married to the love of my life for 22 yrs now, we married VERY young. I was 15 he was 18 . We have 4 beautiful children ages 21,19, 8 and 5 the first two wrecked my lower half had surgery already... (Bladder lift and POP) Lol! And the last two and wrecked my boobs. (Going to fix soon) I breastfed for 8 yrs and 2 mos straight between the two! Agh!! I've been overweight almost all of my adult life. I had Roux En Y surgery in 2002 and lost 150 lbs got down to 170. Had the little ones and gained weight again, up to 250. I've since lost almost all the weight 195. My wonderful Hunny is paying for this surgery for me as an anniversary gift. I'm going to get an extended TT and sub muscular mentor memory silicone 800 cc implants as well as some Lipo to my flanks and Lipo to the lower buttocks. The price includes 1 night in the Hosp cause I can't tolerate anything with codine for pain.

Hi! Congrats on your surgery. Why so expensive? 18,700 seems really expensive for a MM in San Antonio. Even for a one night stay in the hospital. But, Dr. Greene is located in Stone Oak right? That hospital is pricey. I paid 13,639.00. But, my PS has her own surgical suite. I had TT, BA with lipo of the inner and outer thighs, knees and hips. I was floored by her prices, but and the end of the day shes board certified, and my TT looks awesome. My left breast took forever to start to drop, but everything looks great so far. I'm 4 weeks out. Things look better each day. The pain is awful for the first 5-10 days, and a one night stay isn't going to do much. Surgery is so expensive. The pain is constant for the first 5-10 days. The first night was the easiest as I was still feeling the affects of the anesthesia. The day after was when things got REAL :-0.

It's so worth it. I went there and to like 4 other PS's for consults. Cosmetic surgey is just soooo expensive. But all worth it in the end. I'm sure you will look amaze!!!

Nervous!!!!!
I'm soo nervous! I went back to see Dr Greene and his team is AWESOME. Dana gave me the best advice, I was kinda worried about going to church or other places with these big books all of a sudden. She told me to go to Victoria Secret and buy a bra called the bombshell. It'll make you two sizes bigger. Then when people see you tell them it's the bra! That's IF they ask me anything.

Very common to be nervous!! I couldn't sleep and all I dreamt about for a month was my surgery lol. Keep us updated with pics and ask all of us any questions you might have.

Thanks pertyprnces! What size do you think I might be after? I'm getting 800cc silicone and I just went to Fredrick's of Hollywood and bought a 38DDD. Do you think that's about right?
March 12, 2015
I have 400cc mod+ silicon under muscle and I'm a 36F at Fredrick's but I'm a 36DD at Victoria Secret.

Thanks. You have a lot more natural fullness than I do. U look great! How did ur baby do while were healing?

My 4 year old was great but my soon to be 2 year old is a mamas boy and wanted my attention. We just made sure he sat next to me on the couch when watching movies or he was put on my lap for cuddles . Overall it was a lot easier then I thought
March 12, 2015
That's a relief! My 5 yo is a mamas boy too! He BF'd till two months ago!!! Lol. I'm glad to hear it wasn't SOO bad. It gives me hope!

Hang in there, surgery is always a big thing, my mom had a TT after 8 kids... We wrecked her body... After she had the TT she took it easy for a couple of months, and wow, the results!! She looks amazing!!! She didn't get lipo or a BA. The surgeon only took off the loose skin after babies and loosing weight. She had plenty of natural breast tissue, so she got a lift. And still ended up a 36DDD!! Hahaha I missed out on that gene! Have patience, you are going to look amazing and recovery can be tough, just take your meds and rest, rest and more rest!!
March 14, 2015
Thanks Tica. I wish I had enough breast tissue. I need more... Lol. The 22 yes thing is work too. Lol.
March 16, 2015
Wow congratulations on your anniversary!!! Now since you made it though over 20 years with the same person....lol this surgery will be a breeze...Good luck and I will be following your journey.
March 17, 2015
LOL!!! Thanks... I know it'll be a breeze, I've had 3 surgeries this past year alone. I'm ready to do something for me! (appendectomy, exploratory stomach surgery, and hysterectomy with some vaginal vault work too) now it's time for the outside to get fixed up and pretty!! LOL

Trouble with hernia.
I'm having ALOT of trouble with my hernia. It's above my belly button where the scar tissue didn't heal from my hysterectomy. It's popping and hurting. And I can hear a lot of stomach noises. I am only a few weeks from surgery and I hope I'm just getting nervous.

It's normal to be nervous! Talk to your PS/the nurses about your concerns, and don't ever think you're "bothering" them or are asking "stupid" questions! Be sure your PS knows about the popping and hurting of your hernia!
March 18, 2015
You're prob very focused on anything your body is doing right now!! I did that and I ended up with hives grrrrr lol!! Try to keep yourself busy and calm!! And def let your PS know what's going on with your hernia!!! Getting closer yeah for you!!!:-)
It sounds like you have a very supportive man by your side. So glad you are able to do this for yourself. Please keep us updated throughout this amazing journey!
