Tomorrows the Day!

Tomorrow I complete my (surgical) transformation.  I will be going to the hospital at 6 AM to check in for my last round of plastics - Brachioplasty+Mastopexy.

 

I will most likely have three incisions on each side, one starting in the crease under my pec to my armpit, then one up the side and one up the arm - each meeting in the armpit.  I am also doing the nipple excision and re-placement.

 

It will be about a month before I can submerge again, and two weeks for cardio.  But its going to be so worth it.  Wish me luck!
