Update inside - postponing: First surgery booked for breast lift on Nov. 26 - SO excited!

Update:   I learned late yesterday afternoon there is a small chance of my breast surgery being covered so I am postponing it for now but having my arms done on December 17th as those are definitely considered purely cosmetic and I will have to pay the total cost myself.

I also reached GOAL today as I posted on the DS forum if anyone wants to take a peek :)

I asked about having more than one surgery done at the same time and he said no it was not in my best interest so three weeks after that I will be having my arms done as my hubby and teenage daughter will be off for two weeks at Christmas to take care of me and run the household.

I am not at all nervous about either procedure but the tummy tuck that will come later - and the one I hear is the most painful to recover from - may be different!

Thanks to all of you who share your stories and especially your photos so that others may know what's in store for them.

Mickie! How exciting... best wishes on your plastics journey!

Hey Mickie,

I had an extended TT w/lipo and breast lift two weeks ago today.  There has not been anywhere near the amount of pain I was expecting! 

I am glad you are not sweating your BL, I have had minimal pain (really only discomfort till day 7-8) and then nada! 

My TT-abdominal muscle repair is more tender but mostly when I cough/sneeze.  I haven't taken anything for "real" pain since day 3-ish. 

Good luck, you are going to do great!

It's so exciting to take this next step. You are going to love the new you! Best of luck to you.

Mickie - how exciting!  It's almost here...  I know that excited feeling.  I go to Monterrey for surgery on Jan 13th.
