I had my tummy tuck 7/2/2008 after losing 110 pounds. With every day that passes, I get more impressed with it. I'm still a big girl. (I went from a size 26/28 to a 14/16 since July 2007.) I feel good about my weight loss and surgery and I actually have a flat lower tummy now. The surgeon was so right in advising me to get my tummy tuck first to enhance my look and to inspire me to continue losing weight. I'm really trying so hard now to lose 20 or so more pounds to get me at my goal weight that my doctor set for me.
The only surgery that I still really, really want and have always wanted is to fix my breasts. I have *always* hated them. I'm so embarassed even when my hubby sees them. He had always been very encouraging about them and says that he loves them but self consiously I don't.
I met with plastic surgeon this past 2 weeks to look at my tummy and to discuss the breasts. The tummy is doing fabulous and I'm actually 5 weeks post op this past Wednesday. We discussed the breasts and they are awful. Just about every woman is uneven but I'm really out of whack. My right breast is like a full D/DD cup. My left breast has its own zipcode and is more like a DDD/E cup. Yeah, that bad. The surgeon is planning on reducing lefty all the way down to match righty and then performing a lift with a tack on both. So, afterwards for the first time I can EVER remember, I should have perky, even, beautiful breasts. I could cry because it seems almost too good to be true.
The surgery will take at least 5 hours and the price is but priceless to me. It is scheduled for Wednesday 10/22/2008 at 9AM. That gives somewhere at 74 days to lose a little more weight to be somewhere that I feel happy at. Wish me luck!
