I checked into the hospital about 6.10 am. Got some paperwork done. Was asked alot of questions. The doc came in and marked me up. I started to think what the hell am I doing here? I thought of all the people that has had big breast and never did the surgery. I ask the doctor questions and he answer all of them. They took me over to the surgery room and when I saw all the intruments I asked the doc if it was too late to change my mind. He said no but that I have come a long way and that I should go ahead with it and everything will be fine. He told me they will be putting in an IV and thats the last thing I remember. I woke up 4 and a half hours later in pain and extremely nauseous. I remember feeling like my insides would rip out. Vomitting and nothing to come out. They gave me some meds and I felt a little better along with the morphine I went from a pain scale of 10 to around a 5. Went home all went well. Have the tubes in. I have to still record it. Went to see the doctor yesterday 2 days after the surgery. The breast looks great. But he is leaving the tubes in for the next 3 days. I cant wait for them to be removed. All in all I feel good. I have difficulty sleeping on my back. I didnt take any meds last night. I am feeling all types of pulling and zapings in my breast. I have sensation in the left nipple so far. It was all worth it. Just have to deal with the healing process now.

No babes! the surgery is all worth it. I had more a bad reaction from the anaesthesia than the breast surgery itself. I had never had a surgery before so they didnt know how I would react to it. I was given anti nausea meds and I am doing much better. We all have fears going under the knife but once you have done it , it will be worth it at the end. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your recovery....
