He said that as long as I gained an appropriate, recommended amount of weight during pregnancy (25ish lbs) then I should look like any other woman afterwards. He actually took some time to look up a picture of someone's before and after pictures... then showed me an "after pregnancy" picture of the same person and she looked exactly the same. They recommend you wait a year post-op to start trying to get pregnant to give yourself time to heal.

You've got GREAT boobs.  I'm super envious.  I also think you look fantastic and will look fantastic still in a month.  I hope that you have super experience with Dr. Capella and I know we're all looking forward to hearing how things go.  

Break a leg and all that jazz :D

Breast lift? Really, I think your boobs stayed quite in tact! Hope that is OK to say :) It is what I am most worried about regarding myself... I wear a 40DD now. AMAZING JOB! You must be super excited! :D

Not going to lie - your boobs are damn nice as is! Once you have them lifted, I doubt you will want to do anything more. As for the extra skin, for having lost 250, I think you look awesome. You've been kissed by youth and good genetics! Lucky you.

I have to agree that I think there's an awesome body just waiting to come out under that skin.

Best of luck tomorrow! I can't wait to read a great report!
