$4,850

Soo...My surgery date is 4 days away! I am excited and nervous. My PS is Dr. Della Bennett. Its costing me $4850. Im glad my boyfriend is paying for half. I am 27 with 4 kids an have always been small chested. My youngest is almost 2 and its time for mommy to do something for her. Plus I want to look great when I get married (birdie said hes popping the ? Soon). I am 5'3 and 116 lbs. my chest size is 28. My pre op size is 32b/34a. I chose 450cc HP silicone under the muscle. I am counting down the days!! Of course I have the pre op jitters regarding size, complications etc. i even had a crazy vivid dream regarding my implants lol. I hope Mi have a recovery buddy, because I dont want to do this alone. If you are in the IE check out Dr. Della Bennett I absolutely love her. PM me so i can give u a referral and her contact info :)

OMG!!! So tomorrow is the day I get the call and receive my scheduled surgry time and instructions!! I am excited. I am wondering what it is like waking up after anesthesia wears off. I have been under once before and I remember waking up scared and crying for my daughter! Wierd, I know! Then, the nurse in me kicked in and I started asking about my Blood pressure, pulse, pain meds etc...lol. I wouldnt shut up about my vitals lol. I am excited that surgery is in about 1.5 days! i promise to post my befores today, i've been busy. I am in school full time to further my career and have 4 kids. Most of my updates have been via my iPhone. I am making this one on a computer....much easier! To all the ladies havign surgery same day as me...we can be recovery buddies! :)
