Now Im getting all nostalgic and thinking about how much my boobs have defined (and limited) me, I hate them but it still seems hard to believe that they will be gone. But I guess I wont miss being the only one on the beach in Greece a few years ago wearing a t shirt, and I wont miss the loser guy that works at my local home depot and ALWAYS stares at my boobs. And I dont go to clubs anymore so I wont miss them getting me free drinks, and I wont miss the massive bras I have to wear everyday. So I say so long suckers and good ridence! 36 hours and counting....
You go girl!!!
Good luck for Wednesday, we will be thinking about you.

Kimmers-I will definatly be on here about my post op.
I think Im most nervous about the anesetic. I just want it to be over with.
On the possitive side I cant wait to buy a strapless dress after!!!
Anesthesia will take very good care of you. They will give you some nice warm and fuzzy drugs and you will drift off to sleep. They will monitor you during the entire procedure so don't worry.
It goes so fast and seems like one minute they are putting your IV in and the next thing you know you are waking up.
I'll be here, cheering you on in the next few weeks. And anxiously waiting to hear about your results.
Are you going to do pictures? I have some before pix already, but haven't gotten brave enough to post them yet. Plan on taking pictures throughout the process for my own benefit and then will determine if I can share them.
As for my nerves today...I'm going with peanut butter rice crispie treats with chocolate and butterscotch frosting! May be better for me than Vodka, but my plan to take off about 5 pounds before surgery has gone straight down the toilet with my newfound love of all things sugar:-)
LOL you crack me up:) A woman after my own heart..SUGAR! Why oh why are these things so darn good. Although the Vodka also sounds pretty darn good.
You are going to have so much fun buying bras after surgery. I went nuts with every color and pattern around. I have a rainbow of bras now....and I might add they aren't the size of tents.
Three more days! My advice is to relax, know you will be ok, and get ready to enjoy your new breasts.
This one is not such a bad recovery. Yes you will be sore, bruised and have very colorful breasts for a while but you will love them once they are healed up.
Make sure that you avoid any lifting for the first month and you will be fine.
And the best advice I can give you is to stay here on RealSelf for all of your post op support.
Good luck!! Will be anxious to hear how it goes for you!
