Hello lovely ladies, So, yeah, I'm crashing...
WORTH IT$8,200
Hello lovely ladies,
So, yeah, I'm crashing hard. My euphoria has totally subsided and I'm now feeling the full brunt of the trauma and pain. It's so weird to be so limited and incapacitated because I'm used to being so active and independent. I can't even open my pill bottles by myself & can barely go to the restroom to pee! I keep trying to take deep breathes and remain calm but even that hurts! I feel a burning, tearing pain that goes fromy left nipple all the way down to my chest wall. Ouchie!
Thank goodness I have you ladies and this forum to vent and commiserate bc I think I might be very regretful right about now.
On the positive front, my boobs seems to have changed a little. I really, truly hope they are evening out. I need dome feedback on them because I feel they look very lopsided right now. I always had a bit of asymmetry but my Dr said it was not enough to use 2 different sized implants, but I don't know. After looking at them, I'm wondering whether they will shrink down and look somewhat similar. Will post pics later today. Please tell me what you think. I think they look amazing from the side but straight on they look scary - Frankenboobies!! Yikes! Lol.
Also, it is just now dawning on me just how limited I'm going to be for the forseeable future! I had a date for next Friday, a week from today and a photography gig for next Saturday! Before surgery, I thought this would be plenty of time but now I'm really, really worried! The date can be rescheduled but thrcswesonr is freaking me out!! How on earth am I going to quickly get nice shots and walk around all day with the camera equipment slug around my shoulders?!?! Omg, this could be bad situation. Pray for speedy healing for me! Cannot let these people down.
Anyhow, hope you're all well out there in Pre & Post Op Boobieland!! So glad to be a part of this little world. :)

Congrats!! Glad to hear everything's going so well for you!
Oh no!! The whole post didn't go through! Ugh...technology and I do not mix. Thank you though! Lol
hows it going girl!? how are you feeling??
Going fine. Pain is definitely kicking in now! Really gotta keep up with the Oxycodone. It's mainly the labiaplaits giving me probs! Oh well, I'm just keeping my eye on the prize. Will be all healed up soon enough. I'm still so happy to be on this side of the experience! :-D can't wait to get to my desktop to post pics!
god i cant believe its the bits that are hurting the most!! you are making me think twice about getting it done now LOL it is tempting though i keep thinking im going to email my PS and have him throw that in while im under. is it really that painful or just uncomfortable? i would just want my outer bits nipped. how are your boobs feeling can you go to the bathroom and what not? or are you pretty much confined to your bed? im dying to see the pics i cant wait!
Congratulations! The vagina is very forgiving. Hopefully you will have a speedy recovery!!
Thank you, Honey! ;) You're right, if I can give birth, I can definitely get through this. I would say the pain is like the pain after a bad episiostomy, actually.
Congrats!
Thank you!! :))
my goodness you look awesome!!! they are the PERFECT fit i think for you. looking so good girl!!!
Thank you, girl!! I have more pics. This is definitely all a process. I saw them today for the first time without the bra & one looks bigger!!! I have to keep in mind that it's the beginning and there's a lot of swelling but it's tough when the difference is very noticeable. Hmm...it's still day one, so I will now literally take a chill pill - ie Oxycodone! ;)
Yeah it's def too early to start buggin out over stuff like that you have many more days ahead to watch how your new girls transform. I hope you get some sleep tonight you had a big day fo shiz! Sweet dreams and we'll talk to you in the AM! Enjoy that chill pill : )

Day of treatment
I'm officially a PROUD citizen of Bobbieland,...
I'm officially a PROUD citizen of Bobbieland, USA!! Life is beautiful on this side of the world! I am ecstatic!
So, I had my procedure this morning at around 1:30 pm. Dr. William Gorman and his staff here in Austin, Texas are phenomenal and I am eternally grateful to. They were so kind, friendly, caring, professional and helpful and I recommend them to you with the highest level of enthusiasm. They really made me feel like family. I cannot say enough kind words about them, especially Dr. Gorman. I mean, what other surgeon gives you a big, warm hug before surgery like an awesome friend or father?
Anyhow, I ended up having 375 cc's placed under the muscle with an inframammary incision. In addition, I had labiaplasty, or a reduction of the labia minora and majora (innies & outties).
After surgery, I felt no nausea but just a little short of breath. The nurse explained that this was because I wasn't used to the weight of the breasts. In fact, I did feel a little better immediately after she propped me up.
Incredibly, I still have yet to feel any nausea. I think it was because my anesthesiologist was such a master!! I had lipo done 12 years ago in NYC and I had the hardest time coming out of it and was so queasy for days! Kim Russel is just the bomb!!
Anyhow, the boobs are a little sore, Luke I didn't 2,000 push-ups or something and the are, of course, so numb and swollen. But, what really hurts most is the vag! There's no describing that pain because there's nothing like it! Just raw, even with pain meds. Plus, it burns a little when I pee. Yikes. The physician's assistant told me that I was going to have to be very patient because the stitches were going to poke and itch, so I'm keeping all that in mind. She's right. Already feel a little itch on one spot. Grrr...
Overall though ladies, I'm so surprised at the level of pain! I was really so so so scared, anxious and nervous but I expected it to be a lot worse. (I might be eating my words tomorrow , though. Lol. Watch this space!)
Anyhow, I would definitely say to be 100% SURE you take your vitamin C (I've been drinking a packet of EMERGEN-C, once a day for 2 weeks) and I also started taking 5 little Arnica Montana pellets, 3 or 4 times a day, for 2 days). Pah-leez do yourself a favor and buy at least 3 little bottles of this stuff to help with bruising, inflammation and swelling. I aware by this stuff and my doc recommended it for me. You can actually order it from the Wal-Mart pharmacy, if they don't have it in stock. It cost me $7/packet.
Ok, I better run for now. I just wanted to update you all and let you know that investing in your own self and happiness is so worth it! Don't let anyone make you feel bad about your decisions. By far, best thing I've ever done for myself.
Lots of live to you all! Will try to post before afters now!!!
