I am so excited I am officially one month away from becoming the hot mama I always wanted to be. I am 5'6, 165 lbs. I have two beautiful girls 5 and 2. I have a wonderful hubby and great family! I have never been thin. I have always been 150-175. I got up to 200 pounds with the last baby. I have pic of myself at 139 lbs before kids and still didn't have a nice tummy or breasts. I have always wanted to do this.
I have spent the last 45 days obsessing over this. I have looked at pics and read all posts and youtubes I can.
I will post before pics and then after pics. I have been packing my bags because I am staying overnight in hotel (dr insists) first night and then staying with mom for three days. I don't want my girls to see me in pain. I also have a new puppy who is very attached to me and I don't want her jumping up on me.
My mom is a nurse which is a good thing and bad thing. She is not too thrilled I am doing this but she knows I a, strong willed and can't stop me. (love you mom!)
Going to postoperative appointment on Monday. Hubby is coming with. He said it is because he is afraid I won't listen to all the ps's instructions but I think he wants to help pick boob size. Ha!

Went for my postoperative appointment today. I got my prescriptions and even dropped them off to be filled already. I got one for pain, one antibiotic, one for muscle spasms and one for anxiety. I am not an anxious person but I guess maybe I will be during this process. Ha.
I also picked my silicone implant size 500 ccs. I am a pretty excited. I hope I am not going too big, but every pic I picked out of his clients he kept saying yup that's 500ccs and I would say what about this one and that one was too so I said ok we are going for it! Hubby seemed happy. Ha!
I am 29 days away and I also excited. I am just hoping I am not having unrealistic expectations. I know anything will be better but I want to look hot!!!

Welcome to the site! I'm so glad you're here and that you've started your story on RealSelf.
Do you have your supplies ready?
I hope you'll keep us updated throughout your journey.

I feel pretty prepared. I have been on all the posts and made a list and I got homeopathic medicines and toilet seat riser and shower seat. I haven't gotten a compression garnet I am waiting to see what size I am after. Dr didn't say I needed one for surgery day.
March 5, 2013
The dr will give you the compressing garment. You should come out of surgery with it on

Congrats on making the decision. I couldn't be happier. His brother did mine a month ago. I also went with 500cc. They are not too big. Looks very proportionate. I still had some left over stretch marks. I was a little disappointed at first but they were super bad before. Love my new bod and hope you do too!
March 5, 2013
I just saw your pics. You look awesome! And thanks for telling me you have 500 cc because yours look great and you are smaller than me so that makes me feel better about my decision. The saunder brothers are awesome. Their father was a ps too! Talk about a talented family!
March 5, 2013
Thank you! They are. Everyone uses them around here. I honestly believe he wouldn't steer you in wrong direction. Are you doing saline or silicone? Are you having it done at Wilmington hospital? The nurses there were ok. Kept pain to minimum but discharge instructions were a little vague so make sure you ask a lot questions before hand.
March 5, 2013
Silicone. No dr Saunders has surgicenter in chaddsford pa and he makes you stay overnight in hotel suite with nurse and discharges you at 7:00 in the morning. But I will still make sure I ask lots of questions. Thanks for the tip!
March 6, 2013
So excited for you! My surgery is 8 days after yours so I'll be watching your progress closely. I hope you'll post pics right away so I can follow you. I'm obsessed with reading about and looking at pictures, etc.
I'm 44, Mom of 2 and looking forward to being a hot momma too!!
I love the look of the 500cc implants, but I can't go that big. I'm a runner and trying to go as big as I can without making the girls so big that I'm running with them instead of them running with me! ha! So far with sizers, I think I'm either 350 or 375 Sientra moderate profile unders with a crease incision. My pre-op is on the 18th and I have a TON of questions! So many that I'm typing out the list with a blank area for the response! This site has been awesome for information, but also gives me lots of things to ask about.
I can't wait to see how things turn out for you, I'm sure you're going to love your new body!!

I actually am a light runner (mostly 5ks) but I wondered about it too. I have a friend marathon runner and she has 600 and said it takes getting used to and a very expensive sports bra double bra combo but she doesn't have any issues. So I said wth ;). I will def post pics. I am a pic freak normally so this will be no different. I am always taking pics of people's injuries. Ha ha. Why not my own! I hope to post daily for everyone and myself to look back on! Good luck with your surgery too! Keep us posted!!
March 6, 2013
I'm a marathon runner and I went with 500. Have not started running yet but they aren't really THAT big. But if I end up slower I figure I well look hot crossing the finish :)
March 6, 2013
Ha! That's hilarious StarFish! Now the races are going to start being about the outfits instead of the bling or the time! So glad to hear that even at 500, they don't seem huge. Thanks for sharing.
March 6, 2013
My thoughts exactly. I can't wait to run and not have to worry about pulling my shirt down and covering my blubber while I run! I recently ran a race and I slowed my time down because I was too busy running with one hand and one hand holding my shirt. I knew a ton of people there and didn't want to be embarrased. I caught a glimpse of myself in a store window running one time and I right then and there I knew I had to get a tummy tuck. A very defining moment for me. Sad!

4myguines-well, there are signs of clarity for all of us. Guess that was yours! I've never run like that, but I don't wear anything tight, ever! I think that is going to change...
March 7, 2013
I have pants with tags still on just dying to be tried on. Can't wait. I hope I can wear them a month or do after surgery ;)

hi 4myguiness,
I have my TT scheduled with Dr. C. Saunders on the 17th of April. I am so excited! But since you will be going before me, I will be frantically reading your posts.
March 7, 2013
That is so awesome! I am excited to see how we both make out with same surgeon! I will def keep you posted and post pics and can't wait to see yours. We can be Tt Saunders sisters. Ha ha

Ok. I think I need to ground myself off this site. I am totally obsessed. It has taken over all my free time. Anyone else feel that way? I have never taken naked pics of myself and now I am constantly taking "before" pics.

Yes! I hear you! I am so thankful for this site and all the information that it has, but it's also consuming all of my time as I can't stop reading stories, updates, reviews and viewing pics! I'm hoping for burnout so I don't look at it as much.
March 8, 2013
Lol I was the same way! I am so glad that I have those before pictures now. It really puts things into perspective. I am so excited for you!!! It really is life changing!
March 9, 2013
I look at this site like 6-10 times a day. Every time I feel like I know what is going to happen and what to expect as my outcomes. Then I second guess myself every time. I am 4 days away now. I really need to get everything around. I keep saying I am going to tackle my list and I end up putting it off.
March 14, 2013
I looked at your before pics.....you are going to look AMAZING!!! I'm so excited for you!!
