Pre-op
Today, I had my pre op @3pm.
I met up w Grace, the receptionist, & she gave me several paper wrk to fill out. After that, I waited about 15 minutes for the dr. After that, Grace called me in & had me down the hall into a private rm where I later met up for the first time w dr kim. He's very friendly & very young looking. He's very formative, honest, kind, & straight forward. I like that he's very enthusiastic. He examined my breast & thank god, won't have big incisions. He thought I'd look great in 500 cc silicone gel, under the muscle, moderate, not hp. Do you ladies think that is kinda big?!
He reminded me of what to expect as well as what not to do. & that was about it. Anyways, Grace called in for my meds. Got my meds & o b4 u forget... I have to be there b4 6:15am. I'm only 2 mi away from his office.
I'm all pigging b4 10pm.

Surgery day!!!
Got up at 5 am, & shower. Took my anti nausea pill. Brushed my teeth & hubby & I drove off to dr Kim's office slightly before 6am, maybe 5:30am but since too early we decided to go sightseeing.
We got there at about 6:00 & had 6:15, my nurse Linda came & got me. She led me into a bathroom w several lockers inside, gave me things to changed into. Told me, I had to take everything off & also gave me a urine container for an urine sample for pregnancy test.
After I changed into my surgical gown, put my cap on, & a disposable underwear ;) I placed my belongings in a bag in chose a locker for me. Locked items & took keys to Linda. She went over everything prior to my surgery & gave me papers to sign & initial. Then, she placed my IV on.. Introduced me to the anesthesiologist. Very friendly guy!!! Told me I'll be out of it for 1:30 hrs. Not bad. & went over more questions. Told me my lab work were good & negative on my pregnancy test. Awesome.
Dr Kim came afterward & took photos of me & mark my breast, then told the nurse to take me into OR.
Next thing I know, I was waking up in recovery rm & my husband is there to pick me up. Came straight to our hotel & started my pain med & antibiotic. Feel asleep rt away, I still feel drowsy but I just had to let y'all sweet mamas know how my day went. Post photos tomorrow.

Looking awesome & braless
Still looking great w out a bra on. I swear I bought this dress a while back & sadly couldn't fill out. Too saggy & deflated then.
1 wk & 1 day Post-Op
It's been a week plus, and girlfriends, this girl is feeling great. Went to disneyland, movies, mall, pool, & zoo with the family & healthy as a cow. My morning boobs are almost gone, on a scale 1-10, the feeling this morning probably b 8.5. I still wear the same sports bra, and refused to wear any other til i feel my boobs are ready for that dramatic change. i will every now, and then let them out this sports bra only to take photos or massage. Dr advised not to get the tapes wet, so i follow orders as though i'm in combat. LOL. Monday, i have my 2nd follow up, so lets see how things r after that.
Hoping you all a speedy recovery, and Lord b with us all throughout this rough patch. Peace!!! will upload photos later!!!

Happy ????????????????????????
Everyday is a better day!!! Incision are healing well. Started scar treatment today. Dr took tapes off & okayed scar tx. Very happy w results. He's truly an artist.
100% well
I am doing great; no pain, just a lil bit of bruising, but almost completely gone.
more detailed
my apology for all the brief reviews. I know i've been too general & less detail on it all. I'm days away from reaching my 1 month mark, and let me tell you all of the whole experience and how it has effect me tremendously in a fine way.
before i had my kids, lil i knew i would have any implants. today, all that has changed & i don't regret any bit of it. First few days were rough, but soon after everything became normal as though nothing ever happened. I immediately began to do everything, and although my ps restrict me from carrying anything heavier than 10 lbs, it was difficult not to since i have a child whose 14 months. My wounds healed quickly, but unfortunately i had some nasty bruises, which i believe came from carrying my baby several times. I wouldn't recommend this, just do what you can handle.
at about 2 weeks, i began to take my vitamin E, and the big nasty bruise i had on my side boob dissolved quickly. @3 weeks, i began to noticed a red spot on my under fold incision, and when i began to feel it, i felt a stitch popping out. Didn;t know what to do, so i began to do some online research, and thank God, i found a solution. I pulled it out with a tweezer, and cut it with a scissors. 2 days later, the red spot healed. My bruising is almost good as gone, and i love the results i'm getting. My breast totally feel normal, i cannot feel the implants at all. I'm happy i didn't go too big, but chose a very natural look which i felt wouldn't limit my options since i'm a gym nut.
I hope and pray that you all ladies are loving your results, and those in their pre ops, are totally considering getting sexy boobs that will still allow them to enjoy the many things in life such as working out. ;-)

one month post op
I'm officially a dd chick. I couldn't believe how large dd bras are; very scary. As you all remember from my blog, i was a 36dd pre babies, and 36c post breastfeeding(3 children). Today, i stand a proud dd again. Thank you Dr. Kim for restoring what God gave in the beginning. I love my results, and i just feel great about it all. I feel totally natural, and loving it all.
Spitting sutures
Left had couple spitting sutures early on, wounds that opened up in the incision areas & wouldn't go away, until I googled it online & discovered they were sutures that were dissolved so I felt the opening areas for sutures & pull them out with twizzers & scissors. Make sure that they're sterile. After apply triple ointment to areas & leave out bandages for speedy healing. Dries up quicker than when u apply the bandages over the wounded sites. I still have a some bruising to take care of. Hopefully, in the next month they'll completely go away.
Correction
That weren't dissolving*
Best boob dr ever!!!
