I just got home from the hospital.  We would up doing the the full cuts under the pectorals, nipple excision, and extending the cuts around the back.  There was also some lipo done to sculpt and smooth.  My surgery was originally scheduled to last 4 hours.  We wound up at an even 8.

 

I came out of surgery at 3:30, woke up at 4, and was walking by 4:30.  They removed 3.5 pounds of skin. I have 6 drains in, one in each arm, each side of my chest, and in each side of my back.. So far pain is not so bad. I'll keep you updated.

 

I cant wait to see what it looks like!

I had A-cups in my C-cups, LOL.  Also so may ripples in the back I looked like a Star Wars Character.
