Exciting times... I have mine in January.

Hope it all goes well and make sure you come back and let us know how you are doing

YAY!!! So very exciting I'll bet!!! Let us know how it went. Look forward to your updates.

Those are the two things I want, especially the breast lift. Although I'm not sure what exactly that surgery entails. I'm not interested in implants. But my boobs hang down, one points down. Can someone describe the breast lift surgery to me. I'll be 63 in January, not sure if this is a silly thing to do.

No. My insurance didn't even pay for my medically necessary IUD. I've gotten used to ignoring them and paying out of pocket.

Basically they cut completely under the breast and up and around the nipple. They move the nipple to a higher location and close the bottom removing the excess skin. Mine will be a bit more extensive because of the sheer amount of excess skin along with existing tissue, they are going to create a sling for my tissue so it has a normal appearance.

Tummy tuck will be a vertical tummy tuck. Lots of cutting.

Congratulations! This is an exciting time for you! I am scheduled for a TT and inner thigh lift on December 29th. My preop in December 3rd, so I am beginning to formulate my list of questions and collecting pictures of results that I do and do not want! Best of luck to you!

I have two bags packed - one to take with me for surgery and one to leave at my parent's where I will staying for two weeks to recover. I took some Soup over there yesterday and put it in the freezer so I'd have easy meals to access. I also ordered a ton of Premier Protein and shipped it to their house so I can have it for Breakfast and/or a snack. I'm going to try to get at least 80 grams of protein a day while recovering.

Today I'm straightening the house, getting a pedicure and tonight I bathe with special soap. Tomorrow I'm supposed to wash with the special soap again at night.

Monday morning I'm supposed to take another shower with the soap, put on cotton panties and loose clothing and be at the surgery center at 6:45. Let's get this thing done!!! I'm so ready.

Wow congratulations, my insurance will pay for a breast reduction if medically necessary. So I don't know if that's like a life or not I haven't researched it yet. I'm a fighter lol and will fight my insurance double time to get them reduced after surgery
