My surgery is set for February 13th. I have my pre opp appointment this Wednesday the 25th. I was so excited at first, but as it gets closer I get more nervous! Good luck everyone! :)

Scheduled for 2/23 doing as much research as possible, went from 34b to 34f over last several years. Ugh!

My surgery is scheduled for February 15th. I am having breast reduction and tummy tuck. I too am excited, but very nervous. I'm hoping to find posts on here from people who have done both procedures at once. My pre-op is February 6th...I'm excited to get more information from that appointment.

What are you guys all doing to prepare ahead of time? What supplies are you buying? Etc...Let's help each other out in preparation!

Hi all,

So my surgery is set for February 2nd. I keep reading on here about people's pre-op visits, but I'm not sure what that means. I had an initial consultation with my PS, and then scheduled the surgery. That would have been it had I not asked to have another appointment to get some last minute questions answered. Is there something else I should be doing that my doctor may not have suggested? What happened at the pre-op appointment for you?

Hey there!
My pre opp appointment lasted about an hour and a half. My surgeon's nurses gave me a tour of the hospital, informed us where the best place to park was, and then I got pre registered (kind like you would having a baby). I also had some blood work done (I'm assuming for anestheasia purposes)they went over everything not to do night before and evern two weeks before surgery. Also gave me some special soap to wash down with the night before and the morning of surgery to kill any addtional bacteria. Hope that helps.

My surgery is feb 13. My prep was with a member of his staff. She went over everything for preparation.
Zumba Ariel 17 Feb 2012
I had a woman named Suzie go over everything with me I think...can't remember. Very nice, very helpful. She even took my drains out! Hope you're recovering well

My breast reduction is tomorrow....have to be at the hospital at 6am. It still doesn't feel real. I'm not really excited, not really nervous about the procedure, just kind of ignoring the whole thing. I guess that's just my way of coping with anxiety....

Even this close to the procedure, I still have fears about it not being the right decision, and particularly about not being able to breast feed later on, but I'm just rolling with it. I know I'm not going to just wake up one morning and feel totally clear and 100% ready, so I just have to trust myself and move forward.

I was out looking for a post-op sports bra today and I couldn't help "accidentally" sneaking a peak at some pretty lace numbers in sizes like B and C.....!

So....yikes! Wish me luck, and sending love and warm thoughts to all the rest of you who are recovering from or preparing for this surgery. This community has been (and is) a wonderful resource for me!

Good Luck CBL Look forward to hearing back from you and see if you think you made the right choice. I have looked at those cute bras too and then get even more excited because I never thought I would be able to wear any of those. Here I am 6 weeks out from my reduction and I will be able shortly after that. YEAH US!!!!!!!

CBL you are going to do just fine and not have regrets.   Sending hugs and happy thoughts your way for tomorrow.

Princessp 1 Feb 2012
Good luck tomorrow.
Holly in PA 2 Feb 2012

Hey all,

Well, its one day post operation, and things are going fine. The pain isn't that bad at all, and I've been having fun just sitting on the couch and getting to watch TV all day. My operation took longer than expected--3 and half hours instead of 2--but the Dr. told me that everything went perfectly, and that I could expect to be a small C, which is what I asked for.

I'm already sick of being cooped up on the house, and chest is really, really itchy for some reason, but other than that, I'm totally fine. I have a bit of pain under my left breast, but so far I've only taken about a third of the dose of painkillers as I was perscribed, and so far it seems to be working out pretty well.

Still haven't been able to meet the girls yet, and because of all the bandages and surgical bra it almost looks to like they're bigger, not smaller, but I know I just have to be patient.

My doubts about this whole thing are still rearing up now and again, even the deed's been done and there's nothing left to deliberate about. I'm hoping that, in time, I'll feel confident that this was the right choice.

Sending lots of love, and I'll post pictures once I'm a few more days post-op.

.....and PS, for those of you who haven't had your surgeries yet---I'm one of the biggest worry-worts in the world, and the whole surgery process was so much easier and less scary than I thought it would be. You'll do fine!

Hey Girl!!  Glad to hear you are home and recovering.  Your girls will be beautiful..colorful for a while but beautiful.   I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the first look.  I was so excited the first time I got a look at mine.  They were off my waist, perky and the nipples both facing forward.LOL

Keep checking in with is and let us know how you are doing.
