  1. @@VSGAnn2014 She's done everything! She's been in practice for 23 years. Her names is Dr. Carla Garrison in Springfield Mo. Of courses she's a board certified plastic surgeon.
  2. @@bayougirlmrsc Lol! You're too funny! I'm going to do it I'm just scared! Ugh! Why must beauty hurt!! I did NOT enjoy those c-sections btw!!! I will gladly take pain over another kid though!!!! DONE!
  3. Did you cry?! I'm going to cry aren't I??! Should I just start now?
  4. @@bayougirlmrsc Wow that looks awesome!!! I hope mine looks like that! I don't get to stay in the hospital with a pump. I go home the same day as surgery with pain pills and muscle relaxers. That seems pretty brutal to me. I don't know how this is all going to go. I'm not going to lie, I keep having to look at before and after pictures or else I'm afraid I'm going to try to back out out of fear. I'm excited one minute and then think what the hell am I doing??! I moved my date up today to April 4th instead of the 6th so my husband can spend an extra day with me. I'm basically going to be on my own after the second day. My husband has to go to work and the kids will be at school. I hope I can do this. How do you survive on just pain pills and muscle relaxers after such a brutal surgery?!
  5. I dreamed all night that I had my boobs done and the silicone flipped. I kept trying to flip it back around. It was a horrible dream! If I were just doing the boobs I wouldn't be scared, maybe I'm delusional in thinking they won't be bad. It's the TT that has he scared to death!
  6. @@AvaFern ha! I am excited and then I see another YouTube video of TT with muscle repair and freak out. I know I should stop watching them but it's like a train wreck! I can't help but watch. Did you have muscle repair done too?
  7. @@AvaFern Dang it! I went to your profile hoping to see some pictures of your boobs and NOTHiNG! Lol!
  8. @@FocusOnMeNow Yes I tried them on with a bra. It was a size 32 DDD which is what I was before....well I was a 40DDD-E . Here's a picture of 750cc... That may seem big to some but I think it's perfect!!! If I get that I will be thrilled!!! I will insert a picture of my breast before the weight loss maybe that will help. I'm on the right. Not the best picture but you can probably tell they were big and full! Plenty of cleavage without a push-up. I just want that curvy figure back.
  9. @@AvaFern We are doing to bigger implant because I don't have hardly any tissue left. I have deflated little bags! TMI but my nips are in a perfect location and are not sagging. Is the tissue around them. If I do a smaller implant I will have to have a lift and all the scars to tighten the skin around a smaller size. I'm trying to avoid doing that. I tried them on over the little bit of breast tissue I have and they looked amazing with my hip bones and smaller waistline. I guess I'm just use to big boobs because I've always had them and am built to carry them. I will be discussing it with her agian before surgery. I'm not a small framed person. I'd say medium. I have a larger rib cage. I wish I could just see them in my skin before hand but that's not possible I found some pictures of women my height and weight with the same size I'm getting and I like them. We shall see I suppose. I would insert a picture but I'm not sure if nudity is allowed?
  10. @@Queen of Crop Are you getting around ok now? Does it still hurt? I took the whole month of April off and May as of now. If I feel good enough I may go back in May though. I make my own schedule so I have control over the amount of time I'm off. I'm just wondering how you function at 3 weeks.
  11. I stopped tracking a long time ago but I figure around 1,000 maybe more a day? I don't know. I snack a lot which they say you shouldn't do but I'm still losing weight so....I may track for a couple days and see. I just eat whenever I feel like it.
  12. @@Queen of Crop Ok, I was wondering about that. Well hopefully it resolves itself soon.
  13. Yes, you will. If not we would be a big group of grumpy people. Hang in there!
  14. Congratulations! Beautiful!
  15. @@cherri2082 Congrats on the weight-loss thus far! I can't comment on the 50 since I'm 35 BUT our start weight is just about the same!
  16. @@Dub Thanks! It's a ends to a chapter of a much disliked body. Long time coming! Nothing I ever imagined would have happened in my life.
  17. @@Queen of Crop Did you have muscle repair done too? Did you not have a drain in the beginning or did this happen after the drain came out?
  18. I think it's big until I see pictures of the tiny girls with 1200-2000 and I'm like ok now that's big! Not a fan of that look but to each his own I suppose.
  19. @@CowgirlJane Thank you! That's another reason why I decided against Mexico. I'm afraid something could go wrong and I want to be able to drive a few miles and see her if it does, or if something needs to be fixed I want the person responsible to be there to fix it. Hopefully it will all be ok though. I don't know how accurate the try on bra is with the implants in it is but when I put the 750 on and on top of my boobs mind you I loved it! Maybe it's because while I have a small waist I have nice hips that give me an hour glass figure and these really helped enhance that since I lost mine. I asked her if that was the biggest and she said it would be big enough! Lol! I will try it on again but I'm a fan of the big boobs! I think that's why it bothers me more than any other body part. I just miss them so much!!
  20. @@MichiganChic yay! I have a recliner and shower chair. I guess I need a walker too apparently. I have a bunch of before pictures since I was sending them to different surgeons while on the hunt for one. I want them off my iPad but I'll keep them for awhile : ) what's a "auto flap" augmentation? I've never heard of that?
  21. @@HeatherSchwartz You are going before me! You'll have to update me on your progress! We did a fitting and as of now we are going 750cc silicone over the muscle. I've been researching everything and I like how they look on other people so we shall see. The ultimate decision will be up to her once she's in there. I'm trusting her. That sounds big to some but it's really not for me. I have a larger rib cage too. I've always had a small waist compared to the rest of me so this should really enhance everything.....hopefully!
  22. @@Kathy812 Thank you! I'll try to keep it updated once it's done.
  23. Oh and NSV. My surgeon said not to lose any more weight! She said she makes her TT tight so I will be really small in the waist after. Never thought I'd hear that!
