Long Post...excited...ADVISE PLEASE!

Blessed4ever · 07-15-2009, 10:44 AM

OK..so as some of you know, I went for my first consult on Monday.
All went well. I had in my mind that I would wait until January to have my breast augmentation..because I just delivered a baby 9 weeks ago. I did not breastfeed, since I was a surrogate..

Anyway..I have my mamogram scheduled for October. That was the first that the clinic could get me in.
But, my PS said their office could get me in sooner and we could schedule breast augmentation surgery for NEXT MONTH!
I just called the mamography office and they said as long as it is past 8 weeks from delivery, having a mamogram would be fine!
SO>>>>>>>>>>
Should I go for it??
I am so excited at this prospect! I have been on this website SEVERAL TIMES A DAY for several weeks now and I cant think of anything else! I have been thinking January is SO FAR OFF! But now I have the opportunity of scheduling surgery for AUGUST! Holy Crap!

Here are my 2 questions for you all!

My hubby and I have a vacation planned for the middle/end of September. We are going to Florida for a 3 day cruise and staying in a time share for 5 days!

How many weeks post op would you all recommend until I could "easily" go on a vacation? Will 3 weeks be enough time for us to be able to swim, take walks, and "enjoy ourselves" together?? KWIM?

ALSO...

I have about 15-20 lbs I want to loose, and it is possible that my breasts might continue to loose a little more fullness as the next month goes by.
Do you think that will effect my breast augmentation? What if I get the breast augmentation done and then loose another 15 lbs afterward? Will it mess up my results??????? I dont want anything to screw the end result up, and if it would be better long-term to wait until I loose the weight and my see what my breasts do, I guess it is worth waiting for??
Do you think it will make that much of a difference??

OMG! Can you tell I might be a little excited??????

I was told not swimming for 1 month minumum. But is you are ok with no swimming you should be fine and your PS might be different with swimming restrictions they are diff in post op care forgot to address your weight loss ?? did you ask your PS about this at the consult thats what I would do and get their advice. A big weight loss is sure to make a diff in that area.

I was told no swimming pools for 4 weeks post op and no hot tubs or lakes/oceans for 6 weeks. You could easily lose 10 lbs. in the next month and that would only leave you with 5-10 to lose after that. I don't think 5-10 lbs. would make much of a difference.

I am still not allowed to swim until 2 months post op. There is no way you can swim. You can enjoy yourself still. Just cover up the girls when you go out and put on sunscreen. You can go for walks. I say go for it and if you do go in the water just wade around and throw some waterproof banadging over some gauze to be safe. To have boobs that much sooner it really isnt much of a sacrifice no swimming. GL!!! And losing 15 lbs wont hurt your boobs any.
