49 Year Old Female Ready to Return to a More Active Me with Less to Tote Around! - Tallahassee, FL

My expectations are to have the kangaroo pouch removed, the breast size decreased down from a 38 DD sometimes DDD to a small C cup or big B, remove bra roll, and finally the flab right at the top of the medial thigh. I am expecting to be in pain and miserable for a few days but a girl just has to suck it up sometimes to get her body back.
My goals are to:
1. no longer have discomfort between the shoulder blades
2. straps to no longer dig into my shoulders
3. a bonus would to be able to go without a bra every now and then ( hoping)
4. my abdominal kangaroo pouch to be flat/gone.
5. be able to jog a mile without having to stop because of back and shoulder pain due to bra digging in the shoulders ( I even wear the Enell bras right now which are like wearing a posture harness)
6. look good in a bathing suit and feel confident
7. able to exercise with out my arms hitting the sides of my breast - I want them small, pushed in and up.
8. mainly that I can get healthy with the help from my surgeon, his staff, my family and friends.

It has been a journey that started in February 2014 deciding I had to loose all weight I gained when I went through chemo. The most I have ever weighed a whopping 281 lbs. I am now down to 189 to 194 lbs. I just keep floating back and forth and can't seem to get anymore of this weight off of me. I have decided to go ahead and take the time to take care of me. I am lucky that my husband is in agreement that I have worked hard at loosing all this weight and need something to help me get over the hump. I would like to no longer get red areas under the pouch which really hurt as well. So my journey to the healthy flat side is soon to happen on August 12th.
Scared but excited to get this done. Look forward to having my rs family help me along the way.

Getting final things done around the house. Still waiting on my lipofoam to arrive which I was informed would not arrive until tomorrow afternoon after my procedure. I guess we will put it in ourselves when we arrive back home.
Nervous but ready! See ya'll as is said often back after I am on the flat side.
Thank you my RS friends.

Well I went in at 1115 and was done at 6pm. Took forever but did well. I told them it takes a long time for me to wake up. Well it was 11:15 when I was finally awoke enough to go to the hotel. It always takes me a long time to wake up but I think it worried them a little. Hubby said I was entertaining to the staff waking up. I threw up for them and that was the turning point at which I woke up. Staff was super nice. One even said she would go to the hotel with us but hubby felt he was ok with me. I can tell that the boobs are a great deal smaller and pushed in and the kangaroo pouch is gone. I will see what else is gone when they unwrap me at noon. Only a 5 on pain level right now but i know it may get worse. I asked only to take Tramadol and extra strength as I hate taking the oxy stuff. So far I am doing ok. Let you know more as I get more lucid.
