ORIGINAL POST
I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck, Breast...
$16,000
I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift/Enlargement, Lipo of flanks and upper thighs. I've done tons of research and picked Dr. Breister Ghosh. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about her. OF course, I'm very nervous about going into surgery. I've only had my tonsils removed when I was 5. LOL.

You sound like me! I had my two babies and prior to that had only ever had 2 wisdom teeth out. My nurse Lindsey was amazing when explaining the meds, the procedure & risks. My Dr. was the same. If your heart is set on this change, I can tell you at PO Day 5. It's worth it. I've not hit any of the lows I've read from other ladies, I'm sure they happen, my experience has just been so positive from start to finish. I committed myself to that mindset regardless of any set backs that I may incur. Recovery is a process -- that can go forwards & backwards, you just gotta stick with it. Good Luck to you! Lots of good reading and support here.

About me....
I'm married, with no children, 43 yrs old (will be 44 in Oct when my surgery is scheduled), I'm 5'7 and 144 lbs (+/- on any given day). LOL
I've always had a belly pouch! My mom used to have me do sit ups and run around the house to try and get rid of it. Sure, it would get smaller, but still a pouch no matter what. I've always worked out at the gym and/or had personal trainers. Recently, in the last 2 years, I've been doing Cross Fit and took up running. I've run one full Marathon and three Half Marathons and various 5k's, 10k's and 15k's.
I've wanted a TT for a long time. I've also always wanted bigger breast. My husband finally agreed and I set out looking for a PS. I found a great one and booked my surgery on OCT 16 2013, 7:30am!
Wow, 3 months away. Seems like so long down the road, and yet it's all I think about! I have lots to keep me busy between now and then. I have one more Half Marathon on Aug 18 2013. Then my husband and I are going to Hawaii in Septemeber. Then, before I know it, it will be Show time! :-)
I'm in love with the site and all the wonderful women who are sharing their stories. It's such a blessing to have this and all the support.
I'll update with before pics when I take them. Not in a hurry to show my pouch to the world..but I will.
Looking forward to all the advise and words of wisdom you all have to share with me.
Thank you!

You are going to look amazing when everything is done and the swelling subsides. I would just advise you to be prepared for a bit of a shock with post op exercise abilities. I'm not trying to be negative at all. I just thought to myself, "I'm in great shape. I run and I do heavy lifting. I'm going to come out of this like a champ." I ran a half marathon in April in 2:10. In June it took me an hour to cover 2 miles post op on the treadmill. The other thing that I wish I had heard a lot before my surgery was that "smaller" girls don't see the same immediate and crazy results that the "larger" girls see right away. I have not dropped a size or 2 or lost weight in my post op period, but I was at my goal weight (within 5 pounds) at the time of my surgery. I honestly only had loose skin to remove. There was no fat. I weigh the same as I did on my surgery day and wear clothing 2 sizes bigger (on the bottom) than pre op right now. I also got 2 pounds worth of boobage. Again, I'm not trying to be negative. I just wanted to see these awesome results like everyone else and for me it will take a bit longer. I am so jealous that you are getting to do cross fit. I can't wait until I am cleared to lift again. You are also doing your surgery at the exact right time of the year in my opinion. I would have timed it for your exact time if I could have. I think your experience will be great. Best of luck to you!

Me too Nichole. I'm still wearing the same size pants i was before. I do look better in them tho. I didn't even lose any weight. I thought for sure I would be down a size at least! I'm still swollen (at least I hope) and thinking i will go down at least a size?? I'm 10 weeks though. Who knows... I don't have the stamina I had before, and I'm scared to do too much. I don't want to have to have a revision. Anyways, still thrilled I did this surgery. I would do it again in a heart beat. :)

Thanks Nichole. I don't think you're being negative, just realistic. My best Half time was 2:17 and I want to beat that in Aug. :-) Since I am "smaller" I feel like maybe my results won't be a dramatic at first but it's all relative to each person. It's not so much losing weight for me, its being rid of the belly pooch once and for all. I do SO much working out and running that it shouldnt be there. I'm just tired of feeling "fat" because of the pooch. I'm willing to be patient in getting back to working out. I think the best we all can do is to listen to our doctor and our bodies! And yes, Im so glad I'm doing it in Oct when it's cooler out. Thank you for your support and you are doing amazing...you really are a rock star!
