Hi I'm updating, so I called this morning and scheduled my surgery for nov. 4th. My pre-op is on nov. 1st. It's happening pretty quickly which is just great. I've been waiting a long time. I'm very happy. 15 days!! :0D

Well tomorrow is my pre-op with my doc. and the hospital. I'm excited. Fri. is the big day gotta be there by 8:15 surgery at 9:30 I believe they said I'd be on my way home by 12:00 or 12:30 pm. :0) so tomorrow I've got to ask the PS about going to 800cc's and about which profile he's going to use. I need to find out which meds I'll be taking afterward. Gotta get the house cleaned up this week. :0) I'm not nervous yet just super excited!!!! I bet I'll get nervous and scared the night before or the day of surgery. I've gotta have my husband take before pics. So I can post them.

Hey everybody, so I had my pre-op today. I finalized implant size, placement, and insicion location, as well as implant type: I'm going with 800cc, sub-muscular, infra-mammary, and silicone. My meds. were called in today. I'm picking them up tomorrow. I got all my instructions about surgery and after care. I just forgot to ask about which profile grrr, I do totally trust my ps's judgement I just wanted to know. Oh well it's in his hands now :0) I just hope they turn out fantastic!!! (0: he's a very nice dr. he's answered all my questions wonderfully and I spent very little time waiting. :0)

New boobs tomorrow!!!! Yay!!!! :0) excited/ terrified, I have got to stop worrying about what could go wrong. I've done my homework I'm aware of all the possible complications. I've got to let it go. :0)

It's day two and I'm definately hurting. The meds. mostly just take the edge off the pain. Although I'm only taking half a norco at a time. I guess I'd rather deal with some pain so I can stay lucid. :0) who knows though by later today I may get tired of dealing and end up taking a whole one:0) I'm also taking soma which is a muscle relaxer which helps. Overall I believe I'm doi well.

Gosh all I can say is this fricking hurts. I still can't wait to see my end result though. Getting out of bed is a major challenge :0). The most pain I've felt besides waiting to long to take my meds. has got to be going from a mostly horizontal position to a vertical position, darn gravity. :0) been drinking a ton of water and trying to make sure I eat the latter is difficult because I'm just not very hungry. I'm making myself eat though. :0)

Well I had before shots on here but I'm not sure what happened to them. They seem to have disappeared off my page which really sucks because I got rid of the originals, my son uses the computer and I didn't want them laying around. Ugh this sucks! :0(

Updated on 7 Nov 2011:
Yay I noticed my before shots are back that's good, I thought they were gone forever. Anyhow I'm still in pain, I guess I'll update again when something changes. :0) tale care real self ladies! :0)

Hello everyone. I figured I'd check in, I'm still hurting but not nearly as bad as I was. I went for a short and slow walk with my husband a little while ago. I feel tired now. I'm probably gonna take a nap now. I'm eagerly waiting for my final result.

Updated on 9 Nov 2011:
Hello everyone, just a quick update. I'm not feeling very good today. I fell asleep without my strap last night and woke up rather swollen in the upper pole area not sure if that's the cause or not? Rather sore today also running a low grade fever. Just feeling blah! all the way around today. Well tomorrow is my first post-op appt. at 11:30am. It will be nice to see my dr. and see if things are progressing normally. :0) will post again tomorrow after my appt.


Also I haven't heard anything today about my before shots. Hopefully they will be back soon. :0)

I forgot to mention before that my dr. used the Keller funnel technique during my aug. which is a device that's used to insert the implant in order to keep the implant from coming into contact with the patients skin or glandular tissue (which does contain bacteria) to prevent possible contamination. It's believed possible by using this funnel that the possibility of a contracture may be prevented or lessened. I'm not sure if that's a fact or not and it doesn't sound to me as if they are either. However my dr. did say the Keller funnel made insertion of the implant a lot simpler. I imagine it must have been a plus because I did get
800cc silicone implants. :0) and even if it's just a " chance " I'll take it getting a contracture would suck!!!! He threw the Keller funnel in at no extra charge I also had several skin tags which he removed for free which is awesome. :0)

Heading out to my ps appt. I'll do an update when I get back. :0)

Updated on 10 Nov 2011:
So I'm back from my follow-up appt. I got my sutures removed (that was an odd feeling). I learned some breast massages which I'm supposed to perform on myself 4 times daily. I got another strap to wear. Dr. Wong told me to wear it 24/7 and he made it tighter than I had it set. I got my implant cards and warranty info. today. My implants are mentor 800cc memory gel high profile. :0) I really like my doc. He always takes time to answer all of my questions and he stressed to me today that if I have any worries or questions to not hesitate to call him. :0)

Here are some updated photos. :0)

So yesterday was three weeks my previously posted after pics. were actually taken at around two weeks all I can say is norco is a helluva drug lol well and combine that with the fact that I really do have terrible math skills. So hopefully I will have my husband take proper three weeks pics. sometime today and I'll post them. They are dropping slowly but surely I've still got a ways to go.... I just keep up with massaging and strap. :0)

Updated on 28 Nov 2011:
some 3 weeks pics. :0) I just realized that the # of days next to my last photos were correct so please disregard most of my last post duh, duh, and duh that's all I can say :0).
So, they still hurt especially now that they're beginning to jiggle. I really want nothing more that to put them in a bra so that my super hyper-sensetive nipples stop rubbing on my shirt. :0) anyway, new pic. (0:

Hello realselfers! Sorry it's been soooo long since I've posted! I've just been very busy with the holidays. I will be taking some updated pics. and posting them soon. The progression is pretty awesome (I'm very pleased with them) :0) I got exactly what I wanted! The scarring is very minimal due to my PS's use of the Keller funnel. I got a huge silicone implant I was expecting a much bigger scar, the scar I got is faint pink and about an inch to an inch and a half long in the infra-mammary fold. Could't ask for better. Been having trouble finding which size bra I am but I believe I wear a 38G in freya bras.
