I am writing this as a way to pay it forward because this sight has helped guide me through my research and decision making.
I am having my breast implants removed and a full mastopexy.
I am tired of feeling any and all shirts look too provocative, the feeling of weights on my chest, the uneasy feeling because they're so "obvious" and I can't find a cute shirt to save my life.
I will post pictures later.
The pre-op is coming up in a week.
I am nervous but excited to go back to being "me."

Hello BTB....You are going to look and feel amazing. I had mine removed 7 weeks ago and feel incredible. I can wear everything and my much smaller real self allows me to hug tightly, sleep well but most of all I have gained my health back. I have read great reviews about Doctor Hughes so I am sure you are in good hands. Keep us posted, warm calming hugs as your date approaches.

Hi there! That's what I'm hoping for. It's hard for me to run at an incline without feeling that pressure in my chest and my lower back. Thank you for your kind words. It only reassures me I am making the right decision for myself.

Such a comfort when you feel good about your doctor. Good for you for passing up the ones who just "didn't get it"! You will be so happy, I just know it!

I went to the pre-op today. I was given my prescription for my antibiotics and Vicodin. I was also given Arnica to take one week before and one week post-surgery.
The procedure is now paid in full!
There is no turning back now!!!
Hubby will have to give his farewell/good-bye to these pieces of plastic! I can't wait to be able to stand up straight! I hunch to hide them and I am sure my posture has paid the consequences.

Surgery will be here before you know it and you can start the healing process. I'm so glad I had mine. Removed on Monday. :-)

Hi BTB,
Are you having a capsulectomy as well? Your story is so very similar to mine. I have to wait until August 21st to have mine removed!! Agh, so jealous ;-) Can't wait to hear all about your experience!

Hi there M6! Truthfully I am not sure if the capsulectomy will be needed yet. I have had my implants for 5 years so the hope is that it won't be necessary.
I set up my surgery early April so I understand 2 months can seem like a long time. I will try to post more updates after Monday so you can have an idea of what to expect.
I can't wait to be able to wear cute shirts again! I also find myself hunching to hide how obvious they are.
I have a child who is nearing adulthood and a daughter who pays attention to all that I do. I feel I have a responsibility to show her to accept herself...practice what you preach. :)

I feel the same way! I have 6 kids, 5 of them girls who know what is going on. Thankfully, my son is too young to understand. Agh, sometimes I wish we could just turn the clock back! Oh well, hopefully this will be a learning experience for all!

Seriously! This was the most expensive mistake I have made.
I am still not sure what or how to discuss Monday's procedure with my son who is 16. Lol! That will be an interesting conversation.
I have 2 younger children under 8 so they are on an as-need-to-know basis. I think mommy has an ouchy might work.
5 girls? How fun!

Two days to go....wishing you a speedy safe recovery :) xx

Thank you Light! The nerves and what ifs are kicking in. :)
Every good thought and positive energy is certainly welcome!
If my results are a quarter of your results to date I will be ok. He-heee!
My surgery is at 130pm pacific standard so a positive thought around that time will be a blessing! I'm nervous but very excited!
