You are gonna love it. I wont say that it isn't painful but oh so worth it. I had mine done almost a year ago and I am so happy I had it done. Just get everything you need to do for a while done because it will be awhile before you can lift or do anything much for a while. Good luck and I know you will be so happy when it is done.

good luck and I know you will do great , you look fantastic already I was debating on a boob lift end of dec, but a part time job has fell into my lap that I dont think I can turn down to many perks in it including a vehicle..hadnt planned on going back to work, but thinking if I get out and around more maybe the weight might slip off easier...so I will die an old saggy boob lady prbbly, wasnt sold on another surgery anyways, it has felt so good to just feel good !  annie~

please keep us informed and if you feel up to it before and after pictures would be great
what did surgeons say about the timing of the surgery im in uk and have been led to beleive i have to wait 24 months after reaching goal which seams a long time to me
any way good luck and you have done fantastic
ps if any others rhat have had surgery are reading his and are brave enough can they post some photos because for all the activity this site gets there dosnt seam to be many ps stories.

Ooooh, you are going to love how you look and feel afterwards .... LOL after you get past the healing part. The best advice I can give you is:
to put everything you need at counter top height, don't forget the stuff that's down below like pots and pans,
get lots of pillows to prop you up, put under your knees, to get you into a recliner position,
get a toilet riser (most drug stores carry them). It's a plastic seat that fits on your regular toilet that makes the seat about 6" higher so you don't struggle to stand up
take your stool softeners OFTEN. Remember what it was like after WLS? Well it's worse after PS.
Good Luck!

I envy you.... Best of luck to you! Make sure you keep us posted. One of these days, I hope to have some ps work done. I could build a whole new person out of the extra stuff I've got! LOL Heck, if they could take some of the extra to pad my boobs a little... wowza... I'd be stacked! LOL

Wishing you the best of luck! Has anyone out there had arm surgery (brachioplasty)? I am having it done beginning of next year and don't know much about it. Any input would be helpful!

Just some information I found out in my searches. If you live near a university hospital you can get the skin removed by a plastic surgeon at no cost to you if you are willing to donate it to burn victims. I know we all have extra to spare! Just an idea for those of use having trouble affording plastic surgery.
