So even at 16, everything was skinny except my stomach. 2 giant rolls or 4-6 handfuls of blubber. I gained a lot of weight in my late 20's/early 30's. I am 5'2" and had reached 225lbs. I lost 85lbs and have gained some back.....but that belly never seems to go away. I workout 4-6 days a week for 45min -2 hours a session. I spend a considerable amount of that time on my core and still....I carry a bakery around my waist!
About my boobs....those girls are cute and perky if I am cold otherwise they are hanging water balloons! Honestly if I were not doing the tummy, I would just leave them alone....but I figure if you are going to be in pain....and spend all that dough.....fix it all! I am more nervous about how they will look than I am about how my stomach will look. I don't want them to be big above the nipple, I don't think that looks natural. I would prefer for them to be larger under. I don't know if this makes sense but I don't want my neck to have boobs and I have seen some implants that look that way.
My surgery is a month away and I am terrified! I am going to Mexico, then after 2 weeks flying to GA to stay with my best friend before returning home to Illinois. I have no idea how long I am going to need to recover but I am more frightened of the post surgery than the actual surgery itself. I am not good at pain! Lol! I know that sounds funny, but it is true!
I want drugs, lots and lots of drugs! I would prefer them putting me in a coma for a few weeks but I don't think that is an option! Did I mention my hatred for pain?
Well....we shall see how things go as time gets closer I am more and more nervous about traveling afterward!

Feeling anxious
The closer it gets the more fearful I become. Did I make the right choice? I just wanna be done now!

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! What doctor in Mexico are you going to see? Make sure he or she is board certified in MX and that you've researched them thoroughly. I don't know if they do pain pumps down there, but you might want to ask about that.
Also make sure you communicate with your doctor that you don't want the upper pole fullness. Profiles (high, moderate, moderate plus) can make a difference in this, so ask about that.
Please keep us posted throughout your journey!

He is certified by the american board for p.s.
I think I understand the pole fullness comment but I am not sure. Can you explain more?

my back is killing me
Well....the clock is ticking and my surgery date gets closer and closer but I really don't have time to think about it because I have two daughters graduating from high school and one moving across the country.
I think about it most often when my back hurts. Hoping no tummy will mean a lot of relief!
