We basically have the same story about developing...

We basically have the same story about developing early and not having the self esteem etc etc. It feels so good knowing that I'm alone. I'm 21 and have been dealing with this since elementary school. I got picked on, used, led on, you name it. I just can't wait to be free from this weight and stress!

Tomorrow is the surgery! more excited than nervous...

Tomorrow is the surgery! more excited than nervous but I feel as if the nerves will come strong once I get there. I've been wanting this since I've developed breast and I know I won't regret it. Any advice for recovery? What should I expect?

Yesterday was my surgery and the team was AMAZING....

Yesterday was my surgery and the team was AMAZING. They took great care of me and treated me like their own. I woke up with zero pain. I arrived at 6:30 signed my papers and they took me in the back. My doctor marked me up, I met the anesthesia doctor who was super nice. Said bye bye to my parents and went to the OR. Everyone was so warm and friendly. The nurse put in the IV and next thing I know in in the recovery room with food and ginger ale. I felt 0 pain and I'm so happy for that. Around 12 my mom and I went home. The Only annoying things are the drains. I get them removed on Thursday. In nervous about that.
Great review?

I've done 2 months of research, not much compared to some of you divas but I read ratings, went on different websites, looked at before and after results and finally I fount a great PS at St. Francis Hospital on Healthgrade.com and vitals as well.
