Ready and Waiting... - Baltimore, MD

Less than 2 weeks to go. I've been reading reviews until my eyes burn! I've learned so much, but still have many questions. Do you really have to sleep on your back? Exactly what kind of bra will I have to wear afterwards and where is the best place to get one? I'm sure I'll hear all about this when I have my surgery, but I want to be prepared ahead of time.
I've been a 40DD since I can remember, and always wanted to do this, but the insurance I had didn't cover it. Then I found out that my new insurance does! I was so hesitant to even ask about it, but I'm so glad I did. My doctor is very kind and understanding and answered all the questions I had, except the ones I forgot to ask. I've already found jammies that button up or zip up the front, so I have that covered. Already starting to clean and get things ready. Can you tell I'm excited? i need to take some pictures to post when I find my camera.

I've been reading reviews and comments and it makes me very glad I've found this forum.
I've had many of my questions answered, but I still have more! I found out last night that I can sleep sitting up--i fell asleep watching TV and propped up on the pillows. I had a very restful sleep, so that calms some of my fears. One of the things that worries me thought, is after-care. My daughter is able to take 4 days off to take care of me. Will I need more afterwards? I have no one else here, except my ex-boyfriend, and I'm not I want to ask HIM! I'm worried about the effects of the anesthesia. I don't always respond well afterwards...I'll break out in hives and feel dizzy and sick. Should I ask for something beforehand? I'm beyond nervous to anxious, and feeling sick at my stomach. Is this normal? Any comments or answers will be greatly appreciated. :)
