WORTH IT$5,100

I am so excited about my upcoming surgery! I had my final Preop with my doctor and it is just so awesome. I really, really like him. He takes time to listen and explain everything...plus, I got his name from RealSelf!

I am 5'5", 140 pounds. I have an active life being in the school system and with three boys. I am doing this surgery on my spring break and hoping to be able to attend school back that next week.

We decided to go with 500cc moderate silicone implants. I currently wear a 36B. I am hoping to fill out a D size, closer to a DD. (I had a size D when I was breast feeding and it was very nice.)

I am going to head to Walmart for my sports bras (foam, zip front) and make sure I have frozen peas and miralax! My 6 prescriptions have been sent to the pharmacy. (Still don't know why I need so many).

Anyway - I am SO EXCITED and hoping for a very full look. I will update more as I get closer! Thanks for all your support!

T-3 DAYS!!!!

I am so excited! Its all I been thinking about and I just keep reading about the different stories and experiences posted on this site. I just love it!

I went to Walgreens to pick up my meds today. Here is what I have:
Diazepam
Promethazine
Cyclobenzaprine
Transderm-Scop patch
Cephalexin
Hydrocodone

Starting to feel a little overwhelmed with it all. Some bottles have 1 pill in them and a couple others have 10, 15, or 40. I am hoping to not need all the pain meds. I had all three of my boys with natural labor so I do have a higher tolerance for pain, but different types of pain have different effects on me. I see some people talking about Arnica. Is that something I can get at Walgreens? Is it a pill?

I got two sports bras from Walmart, two different sizes. Not sure what I will need. Dr. just said get a large, but they didn't come in those sizes. I got a D and a DD. (hoping for a DD!)

Here are my stats again:
5'5"
140 pounds (Lots of muscle in thigh and butt)
36B
Getting 500cc silicone, under the muscle, under the breast incision

Surgery is set for Tuesday morning at 11:15, I have to be there at 10:15. I have reading materials for after and a cozy button down shirt.

I can't wait! Will update more with post op pics!!! Thank goodness for Daylight Savings...puts me 1 hour closer! :-)

The nesting has begun. I've cleaned the entire upstairs and made some cozy spots for after surgery for myself. I am just looking for things to keep myself busy.
Question: what type of bottoms did everyone wear to the surgery center? I am thinking sweat pants (ugh), but at least I will be comfy. :-) drinking water, water, and more water. I also made a few light meals for after... Not sure if I'll have much if an appetite.
T-2 days and I will be joining the ranks with most of you!!!!! So excited my boobie friends!

Hey DD! Your big day is almost here. Just one suggestion I would switch from a button down shirt to a jacket or something that zips.(to wear home after surgery) It will be much better to manage. As for the pain it is different for everyone but I personally didnt think it was really bad. Right after the surgery was the worst day for me pain wise. My boobs were really tight and it was uncomfortable to take deep breaths and my sides were sore. You also realize on this day just how much you use your chest muscles. I was totally off pain meds and muscle relaxers post- op day 2. I didn't use the arnica at all but lots of ladies swear by it. One thing I would suggest is to take your meds with apple juice and don't take your antibiotic with the other meds. The one time I did this i got nauseous and threw up. The apple juice will help keep you regular. I also ate prunes with each meal. Good luck!

Thanks so much! I will switch to a zip front - great advice there. I checked out your profile and the boobs look great! Hoping for the same look! 2 more days- not sure how I can stand the wait! Thanks for commenting!

Thanks! They are still riding kinda high but I think they will be really pretty once they settle. I wore leggings home after the surgery. Funny thing is I don't remember putting them on. Lol I ate soup surgery day and post op day 1 but after that I moved to sandwiches and things like that. I was so hungry all the time and determined to keep a full stomach so the meds didn't make me sick( I have an extremely sensitive stomach when it comes to pills and stuff). The two days before surgery are the hardest. I couldn't focus on anything but boobies! Lol I hope they past quickly for you :-)
