Finally Doing it!

28 days to go! Had my first of two pre-ops yesterday. I hit my weight goal, so we finalized my size! I am going with 500 cc silicone HP unders. I am 5'7 135 lbs. my doc is amazing, he spent a while with me answering the 57 questions I had typed out, and really just reassured all of my worries. It is strange to me, I am the most nervous about being under the anesthesia! I think it is because I have two pre-existing medical conditions: Mitra valve prolapse and Thrombophilia (a blood clotting disorder) I have been cleared by my hematologist for surgery, and he has reassured me 100 times over that I will be just fine. I will take my shot of Lovenox the day before, and will be safe. Dr. Lofman said that I would be in a binder when I awoke, one with a strap above my breasts, and one below. He said that I would only be in that when I got up, and would be able to see them right away! Haha, that was actually one of my questions, "when can I see them?" Dr. Lofman really relaxed me in a lot of ways as well, because I really think that I am over exerting myself on worrying how to prepare... What do I eat, what do I need, what special food do I buy? One thing I bought today were 5 thin cotton zip up hoodies, Doc said those will be easiest and best for me in the first few days after surgery! I will be in the binder for 2 weeks, and then from there, the doc will decide whether or not I can take it off. He said it is safe to wear a sports bra under the binder, but no underwires for 3 months. We are going to Vegas 6 weeks to the day of my surgery, and one concern was when I could shop for bathing suits! Dr. Lofman said that I should do that at about week 4 :) other than that, everything was amazing, they are paid off now too!!!! Next appointment is one week before to get final instructions and pick up prescriptions to be filled :)

You know you are a little obsessed with this surgery when you write numbers on sticky notes (1-50) tape them to your wall and pull one of each night before you go to bed, but get such a thrill when you pull one off! ONE.DAY.CLOSER.... Well that's me LOL. And today, I will get to pull of number 20, and start the week in the teens :) I'm two weeks until my 30th birthday, and three weeks til the surgery, and I get more excited as the days go on. I find myself more excited for things because I will have boobs, does that make sense? Haha. For example, at dinner tonight, my boyfriend and I were talking about how we need to go to Iowa this summer to visit his college roommate and his wife, and the first thing that popped into my head was, "yes, I'll have boobs!" Now, why would that matter? Haha. Oh we'll, guess when you have wanted something your whole life, it makes an impact on you :)
