In love. 36DDD to a B
My surgery was amazing, te staff was great and this recovery is beyond simple as compared to what I thought it would be. Day 5 and I haven't touched any drugs or Tylenol, have not had any leaking or breakage in my scars, but I think it's because she put the dissolvable stitches on the inside, glued the outer layer of skin, then put steri strips over all of that. The incisions are so much skinnier than I thought and overall everyone thinks I look so much thinner now and proportional!!!!
I MADE IT TO THE OTHER SIDEEE!!!!
Could not be happier. So sorry for not posting in a while...but now I can give you the play-by-play.
The night before my surgery, I was not allowed to eat anything after midnight. I wasn't even told what time my surgery was until that night either, but eventually was told to arrive at the hospital at 1015.
Was I nervous? I guess. But my mom kept pointing out how calm I was and how she was surprised I was not freaking out. Once we arrived at the hospital, they had asked me to get blood drawn...So i walked over to the Lab for that to happen, but then the funniest and coolest nurse named John told me a little birdy told him I was petrified of needles. He let me skip the wait for arriving in my bed at the outpatient center and decided to do both the blood and iv at the same time. My anesthesiologist, was basically a couple years older than me, so extremely perfect. She was distracting me while the nurse, John, put the iv in....DIDNT EVEN FEEL IT!!! then he told me he had numbed the area. I was already amazed.
My surgeon is a perfectionist, just like me. She was shocked with all the terms and questions I was asking and wondered how I knew so much.....Ladies, that is alllll thanks to you. I asked every question in the book.
After she drew on me, she said she'd be taking around 500 cc's out of each breast. As a last minute request, I asked her to put me down to a B.....So she said she would do the best she could.
Next thing you know, I was hugging my mom goodbye and was wheeled into the OR.
The staff was sooo down to earth and great to talk to. I was cracking jokes left and right before any medicine even kicked in and they were saying how shocked they were with how calm I was acting. They told me they could give me medicine to ease any anxiety, but I told them the less medicine the better.
The patches for the heart monitor were placed on, and while I was waiting, I was talking with these girls all about tv shows (the Hills, Laguna Beach) ....everything you'd never expect to be talking about while your on a stretcher about to go under.
Didn't take long for another anesthesiologist to come in (amazing australian accent btw)....Told me I was about to go to sleep once he put this new medicine in the IV and said to think about happy thoughts....then all the nurses yelled out "think about your boyfriend!!!" (May have had more girl talk in the operating room then I said previously....I guess they found my army man to be pretty amazing too haha...
My surgery only lasted about an hour and 45 min!!! However, I struggled waking up from anesthesia, and only wanted to sleep. I was out for another 4 hours...I mean outttt....It did leave them concerned and I may have been one of the last people left there, but all the nursing staff kept coming in to talk to me and get a laugh or two in.
My surgeon said the operation went extremely well and that I was definitely a B cup!!!!!:D I instantly felt relief and oh my goodness, I so thought it was going to be worse than it was! I went into the hospital at 1015 and left at 7pm. Yes I'm on the heavy pain meds, but the only thing that bother me at first was that I had a really dull pain in the center of my chest, like on my sternum.....there are no stitches there but it killed for some reason...Now starting to think its the bra... Lucky for me there was no nausea ...yes to the dizziness when I sat up to go to the bathroom...but nothing I can actually complain about.
When we arrived at the hotel right down the road, We had set 14 alarms on the phone so that we knew when to wake up and take the next pain med. So many pillows were around me that I didn't/couldn't even move if I wanted to. The most pain I had, was the two drains on the sides. When I sat up to go to the bathroom for this first time around 3 am....THAT...was painful. I couldn't breath to well because when I did, the tubes would shift. But after taking another pill, it died down.
This morning my drains were removed, and for the first time, I was able to see my boobs!!! They are AMAZINGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! :D even the nurse who unbandaged me had her jaw drop. She said she couldn't believe such a petite tall frame had such large breasts before.
Also, I don't mean to brag, but my perfectionist surgeon, put stitches on the inside rather than the out, then she put glue on over it....The scars are SOOO think, and yes...these are definitely a B. My mom really wanted to see them, and although I'm not one to get naked for anyone, she DID take care of me all night and I really do, for once, love them, so I said "why not." They are lifted, gorgeous, look perfect with my tall frame...And now I'm so anxious to buy some bikinis and bras!!! (i know...I have to wait....but aghhhh) Oh and I forgot....All you people who freaked me out about the drains killing when they were taken out....AGHH i was scared, but they didn't feel bad at all! Like no pain, just felt it slide out and then had an instant feeling of relief.
I can't stop looking at my boobs in the mirror...I am actually not exhausted too badly like I had thought I would be...But they told me that since I was a 22 year old athlete, that my healing process should go extremely smoothly!!!
Whhhattttt a book. So sorry, but I just wanted to tell you guys everything...I could not be happier and I would so do it again in a heart beat!!!!

Trying to take my mind off the negatives
Hey ladies, apologies for the lack in participation these last few days. . . my boyfriend flew up to see me, take my mind away from all the stress of having surgery...and it worked. He's amazing. But now that he is gone, I am stuck alone overthinking everything.
So here I am once again looking for more words of wisdom and distracting myself on my own. This might be an impossible answer to get out of anyone, but my boyfriend just asked me to fly across the country to see him for a wedding just 4 weeks after my operation....What do you girls think? Were you post op ladies in lots of pain still at this time? Yes, I'd be flying alone, but I'd have someone assist with the bags going into the airport, then he'd assist with them when I arrived there with him. . . I just don't want to show up and be completely drained and feel like I'm dragging him down too....No physical activities would really occur besides some sight seeing....mostly relaxing by the sounds of it...but what do you guys think? Go? Stay? Haha, he knows he is not allowed to sneak a peak until the scarring has gone down, and he constantly tells me I'm beautiful no matter what....and will still have a butt ...sooo.... haha ok ok, TMI, so sorry. He just gets me to laugh when I try bringing up the what ifs on long car rides or over the phone about this surgery....I guess I'll keep this one around :P
Update on the surgery itself though....the hospital is 2 hours away ...I still have yet to hear what time my surgery is even at which is driving me mad....my mom (a saint) is staying with me for two weeks before I return to work (desk job...nothing exciting haha) and we definitely booked a hotel for the night of surgery. There is no way I am getting back in a car for two hours just to show back up the next day to have my drains removed at 11am. As far as I know, I am still aiming for a full B/very small C...my surgeon is 8 months pregnant which might sound like a pointless fact, but aghhhh the words early labor come to my head when I think of those what ifs lol...Placing it all in God's hands, I know I'll be fine and she'll be great as well....(she definitely comes off as a perfectionist....so I have no doubts about her)
At this point, I'm just rambling on....but I hope all of you post ops are healing great and you pre ladies like myself, are not freaking out and overthinking everything as well!!! :P
Much love
