I am a 35 SAHM to 5 kids ages 2-14. I've worked my butt off the past 6 months to lose 30 pounds and now am at 145 pounds with 13.5% body fat. No matter how much I do cardio/strength exercises (about 8+ hours a week) the saggy skin will not go away. I get skin infections from all the loose skin being stuffed into clothes. I "fake" it by wearing a girdle, sucking in my tummy and wearing 2 push up bras, yes two makes me look normal. After looking at hundreds of profiles I see only a handful that look worse than mine and they were clinically obese. The ones that look similar are all 50-60 year olds. Honestly, half of you look just fine and don't need any surgery (I honestly mean that in a complimentary way!) Maybe I think that just because of how awful I feel everytime I get out of the shower and see that full-length mirror. I just want to look normal again and feel the scars are a pretty good trade-off. We are in a financial position to afford the surgery without going into debt. My husband is somewhat supportive. Of course he'd like to spend the money on a Disneyworld vacation or something else. He doesn't care what size I choose. I hope to have a better marital intimacy after the surgery because right now I can barely muster the courage. 3 boobs or no boobs dear? I hate how I feel when he touches me and I shouldn't be thinking about that when we're simply trying to show love towards each other.
I am going going in for a breast lift, augmentation and a full tummy tucky. One of my breasts is a full size bigger than the other which also makes them lopsided or assymetrical and I have severe ptosis. My skin is thin on my torso so my PS recommended silicone unders. I thought the suggested size he gave me was too large and chose 275cc I think? We'll double check during the pre-op. I am currently an A
3 weeks to go - I should mention I found my doctor...

Thank you for starting your story!! I'm so excited for you. Congrats on that weight loss. That's a lot of hard work. When is your surgery scheduled for?

Pre-op tomorrow. Super nervous since the payment...
I'm going to miss cuddling with my babies. I'm going to miss working out. I'm going to miss sleeping in my bed on my side. I'm NOT going to miss the third boob hanging from my stomach. :)
