ORIGINAL: BambiBoi I spent a few minutes copy/pasting all the pro and con reasons you've given Luci. But then decided against producing it. Here's what's important: People will notice. No one will care about the difference, except you. I understand body image issues fairly well, so my words may be falling on deaf ears. No one you play with, publicly or otherwise, thinks about your body shape. They are worried about their own. You won't see a difference in the way people treat you, so don't expect it. And don't make other people's interactions with you part of your win-condition. If you believe that this procedure will make you feel better, then do it. It sounds to me like you've hung your dream on having this done. The simple reply is, this really is all about me and how I feel about my body image. The not so simple reply is, People will look at me differently not because of my body changing, but how I will feel about myself and carry myself in front of them. I very well am aware that I will not get to be a supermodel...like, ever LOL. I'm not doing this to be perfect or frankly, even close to it. It really is about being ashamed that at the moment I have to buy mens extra large tshirts to properly cover my breasts. I haven't shopped in the womens section in a very long time because the clothing just doesnt fit. I can't even buy clothes from the big womens stores because those don't fit me either...I am 5'2", most of the tops from those places that fit my breasts are too big in the shoulders and go halfway down my thighs. In order to buy womens apparel that even comes close, I have to buy in maternity. It's humiliating to have the sales clerk come up to me and ask me when I'm due...my youngest is 10 years old and I am SO DONE with having kids LOL. Pants never fit me either. The ones that don't hang off my ass are so tight in the tummy that I can't make it through a couple of hours without taking a break to get them the hell off. Forget wearing jeans...muffin top with extra spillage...eww gross. And the part that doesn't come out the top gets pushed down toward my mons and it looks like I stuffed a really old nasty pillow in my pants. The thing is, of the 4 plastic surgeons I interviewed before making my choice, ALL of them stated that the problems I have are NOT fixable with exercise. They are the result of having 3 children that basically broke my body. Other than my tummy and my boobs having so much extra loose skin, I am lean and fit and healthy and strong. My legs are thin and sexy, I have a cute little heart shaped ass, my arms are nice and slim (mostly...they sag a little too, but I can fix that)...but I look like the saggy baggy elephant and without this surgery I can't do shit about it. I would love to say I don't give a shit what other people sceneing are thinking about the way I look. I'd also love to say that they aren't looking. Believe me, I look at them...so I know they are too. Yes I have my shallow bitch moments and sometimes make comments about other people's bodies (only to Mr though) and I am sure other people do it to me. Yes that makes me a hypocryte in some instances. The difference to me is, I give a shit what I look like and am not willing to get up on a table in front of a room full of people looking like the blob. That's just not fucking sexy. When people watch me scene I want them to be thinking about what I am doing, not how gross it looks. (unless of course we do a fisting scene and then god dammit yes, I do want them getting squicked because that's why I do THAT in public ROFL...wimpy bitches ain't weal twue subs if they can't take a fist up thier ass!!!...just sayin LOL) This isn't even beginning to mention how I will feel when I am out working and dealing with people in the professional world. That's a whole nother bucket of snakes. If you don't look the part, people just don't take you seriously. Right now I look like the cranky old married Mom (I am the cranky old married Mom, but that's besides the issue) After Monday that's no longer going to be a problem. I will be able to conduct myself in the professional manner I always have, but my body will match. Anyway, everything right now is all paid for, confirmed and ready to go. The only thing I haven't done is pack my overnight bag. I won't need much though, they are only keeping me for 24 hours...then I get to come home and be miserable in the comfort of my own home. I've got several meals ready to reheat in the freezer, I've got my recliner chair all ready for me to sleep in for the first couple of weeks, my laptop is all set up in the bedroom hooked up to the 42" tv as a monitor, so I'll be able to watch my internet tv, play my games and bug you guys about how much pain I'm in LOL. Meds are picked up and ready to take with me. Just gotta put some toothpaste and a set of clothing in a bag and show up. 1 more day. Lucifyre
