Three weeks post LBL and BA/BL, 19 months post sleeve, and some photos from Mother's...

You look amazing! :)

Thanks!

Whoo-ha, Deena!  My poor little muffins (new term coined by hubby for what used to be called melons) are sooo humbled.  Red-all-the-way!  Wonderful color on you!  Beautiful.

Hahaha, red is my color...primarily because it's just like me - loud, out there, semi-obnoxious.  Thanks, hon!

Wowza!   No wonder all the men were staring - lol!  I can also see that you come by your good looks naturally as your mother is beautiful too!  

Thanks!  She's so beautiful, and she has the best heart.  She's also a genetic mutant.  Woman only got ONE stretch mark while pregnant, she was down to her pre-pregnancy weight 4 weeks after giving birth, and she's 5'9.  I wish I'd gotten THOSE genes. 

HOLY ****!!!!

you look SMOKIN' HOT!!!

Hahaha, thanks!  I kind of feel that way for the first time ever.  I know what it feels like to be pretty, hot or sexy are very new phenomenons :)

Wow!  You got a great result!

You'll be glad you went with 425s.  It will be a good size on your frame!  (I used to work for a plastic surgeon.)

I actually talked to the nurse once my husband left the final pre-op appointment because I was concerned with the size.  Yeah, I want my husband to be happy, but I don't want boobs the size of my head.  She actually explained why that was a good size for me, and why I really wouldn't want to go smaller (the spacing of my breasts, how broad my chest is, etc).  It's the first size my surgeon recommended too.  Said I'd have show, and compared them to Penny from Big Bang Theory.  I should have known I'd end up with him when he mentioned that show.

And thanks!  I'm actually thrilled with my chest.  I was so excited to have a flat stomach, but I really missed having boobs and I'm more than thrilled that they don't need a bra so I can do strapless/cami tops/backless with no issue.  It's the little things :)
