Well I'm one month post-op from my Anchor cut TT and Breast Lift/Augmentation. It's been an adjustment period to say the least. I'm super pleased with my lower tummy. I'm tight as a drum and my waist is very defined now. I do have some excess skin at the top that he could not get during surgery. He was concerned about blood supply issues, so I need a skin excision (No Muscle work). I;m sore mainly in the morning and will have to continue wearing my girdle til January.
My breasts are still changing. They are still big, but look decent on my frame. I have a high chest profile and even though I'm wearing a 34DD, It doesn't look that big. One thing about breast augmentation , is that the breasts look different almost daily. So even though my nipples are lower than my PS would like, we are taking a wait and see attitude. I'm fine with that. I just want a good result. Well, revise it with my brachioplasty in the Fall.
Now, I'm planning for a Lower Trunk Lift which includes outer thighs and buttocks and hip reduction and lipo. This is the absolute worst part of me and the hardest surgery I will have done. I have what I commonly refer to as "Sharpei Ass"", so any results better than what I have now will be a significant improvement. this surgery scares the hell out of me though. I have to do a hospital this time and have to hire a nurse for wound care because my mom has cancer and cannot care for me. I'm also hiring a housekeeper to come in while I'm laid up. Tentatively scheduled for February 27th, I still got to check my school schedule (6 week classes).
It's a good thing that I discovered an unknown stash of investment money that my husband forgot about and was left to me when he died. It was exactly the amount it was costing me for surgery. Otherwise, I would have never been ale to do this.
People often ask me if it's worth it. Yes, it is worth all the pain adn even all the money. I walk tall, I have great confidence and I feel much more feminine than I was a montha go. My gastric Bypass surgeon may have saved my life, but my Plastic Sugeon is giving me the life and body I've always wanted, scars and all!
Cheers,
Lavender

Re: One Month Post Op
Wed, December 6, 2006 - 6:12 AMHe died July 13th of this year. He contracted Legionairre's Disease whil we were on vacation in Florida. I have apending lawsuit but I probally won't see a dime. It's complicated. So, I'm a 34 year old widow and single mom. It's not easy. But I'm a strong southern gal.
I didn't even know about the account until last week. He had stowed money away about 5 years ago and just forgot anout it. It was a mutual fund type thing, so it made alot of money in that time. I thought I was going to have to sell my firstborn son to get my thighs done, but now I don't (lol). I may have some left over to get my brachioplasty in the fall .After that, no more surgery until I start getting old and saggy again in 10 year or so. I may still need the breasts re-done at some point, but I'll cross that bridge when I I come to it. -

Re: One Month Post Op
Wed, December 6, 2006 - 12:37 PMI know. I can't wait to get rid of this saggy baggy butt and thighs. I look decent enough in clothes. Don't want anyone looking at me nekkid right now!
I've pretty much decided to fix anything and everything that I don't like about myself. I won't touch my face though. Maybe alittle botox (lol). But It's my body that needs a total renewal. I hate to say it, but if my hubby had not passed away, I would have never been able to afford it. He did want me to have new boobies though! He was breast man after all! -

Thu, December 7, 2006 - 12:15 AMIt must be a bittersweet thing for you huh.
Hey I am happy for you. And I am very sorry about your hubby.
As far as plastic surgery goes.... Im pro it. When I got my tummy tuck I was in so much pain and i thought hell no... never again. But the surgeon told me I may have to have a revision after having kids one day. Now that I know what a wonderful thing it can be, I would do it over again in a heartbeat.
Yay surgery!
