For of all, thanks for all the great reviews and progress you guys post on this page. I find them so informative and helpful.
I'm 36, have 3 kids, 11, 2 and 1. I'm going to get the MM in 5 days. My main concern is my recovery. It looks like I need to drive after 10 days post surgery because my oldest take dance lessons. I'm seeing my doctor again in two days but I forgot what he'd told me the last time I saw him.. Too much info to digest :)

Pre-op appointment
KittyaDecember 2, 2013
So my husband and I came in today for my pre-op appointment. We both are scared and can't believe I am doing this. We paid the full amount for operation and doctor cost, but I have to call the anesthesiologist office to pay his fee separately. After I paid, I asked if they had given me a $200 discount for paying cash, they ran in, checked, and handed me $200 back because they "forgot". So we got in the room and saw dr Green. He recommended 100-350cc for my frame at the consultation appointment and I decided on 350 after trying on the sizer. I don't want to regret if it turns out too small and after spending this much money.
The doctor took my before pictures and answered our questions. He seemed so calm and here we were, so scared. He said I can shower the next day if I want, and the drain is usually in from 3-5 days, only if I don't drain more than 30cc in a 24 hours period.
I dropped off my husband and went to the lab. Paid $29 for the Blood test and headed back to work and
I can't concentrate :) my mind is running wild with this surgery.
I've been texting with the friend that had a breast implant by dr green two weeks ago. She is completely back to normal and no scalping either. Her husband is so impressed. That is very encouraging news.
Got my step mother in law to come by this Thursday for a week then my sister will come by next Friday when she's gone. Breath. Breath.. :)
BTW, thanks for all your comments and encouragement! It means a lot to me!

You can do it! Just breathe and know things will turn out awesome!

The recovery is pretty intense. I drove for the first time Sunday (11 days post op). Driving is totally do-able. Picking up things and walking/standing for long periods is the worst for me. I went to back to work today (desk job) and was exhausted. Good Luck! I will watch for your updates.

Thanks. Are you about two weeks post op? I hope to work from home after 10 days, only if I need to.. If not I'll take more time off.

You will do great! It's very hard to relax (and sleep) before the surgery but just try to get as much done now as you can because you will be enjoying a lot of relaxing once it's all over ;). I had to drive 6 days post-op because I had no choice and it was no problem. I was completely off of the pain meds at that point. I am so excited to see your after pics! Your body is going to look hot hot hot !! Take deep breaths and think of bikini season.
