Last one of 3 kids recently left for college... so its finally time to do it! Had gastric bypass 5 years ago after struggling with weight my entire life...have maintained size 8, yeah! But no matter how hard I work out...stomach is super flabby with ugly shelf and scars from c-section and hysterectomy. Boobs are deflated and look 20 years older than they are. Won't let dh see me naked with lights off.

I've pretty much have Everything in order for mm on wed 12/19. Doing decent job of keeping nerves in check. Thanks to all of the valuable info on real self I feel fairly prepared for what to expect for recovery. DH would prefer that I not have surgery, but is supportive of the fact that I want to have it. He doesn't want me to go through surgery for him and is great about being happy with me as I am. He's into a natural look, not armpit hair natural or anything like that, but understands the effect that gravity has on the body. Gravity is a [RS bleep]! I keep calling my mm my 'degravitational procedure'. He's not a 'trophy wife' kind of guy and doesn't want my BL/BA to cause a lot of attention.
I'm totally doing this for me! Just trying to relax and focus on the finished product and less on surgery itself and recovery.

Well...the waiting is finally over. Whohoo! Surgery is tomorrow morning at 8:00. I'll be asleep in less then 2 hours and the whala it'll be time to leave. Man if I had a penny for every time I second guessed this decision I'd be a millionaire! Lol. I've got everything ready to the point of being a little OCD with all the preparation. Trying to make it as easy as possible for dh since he's not a huge fan of having the surgery. I think he'll be fine once it's over and will be great with recovery. wishing all of you getting ready to have surgery 'calm nerves and hope time flies'...wishing all those who recently had surgery a speedy recovery.

Good luck. I thought about it my decision right till i laid down on the operating table. When they said are you ready I closed my eyes waited for the medicine and said "let's do this". I am on day 2 and I am
Just very sore. No excruciating pain or anything like some people have. I am fairly healthy and take good care of myself so I think that made a big difference for me. God bless and keep us posted on your recovery.

I go Tuesday! I've lost about 60 pounds and am also healthy and fit. Your story gives me a ton of relief. I've read quite a few horror stories. Thanks for posting!
