My expectations with this surgery will be less...
My expectations with this surgery will be less back pain if any at all and self confidence. I have had big boobs since middle school and while everyone makes their little jokes I really do not like my breast. I am a size 36g I am looking to get to a full C . My insurance is paying so I don't really know if I'm able to full on decide which size I want to be. But I have as questions if anyone thinks they can help please message me.
48 More days !!!
I'm trying to get a list of things I'll need such as; panty liners for my incisions, open up shirts, scar cream etc. if anyone have anything to share let me know. I'm starting to buy things now so I'm not buying it all at once.
Little help
Getting a bit nervous. Does anyone know of any things I should purchase for afterwards?
2nd thoughts
Anyone start to have second thoughts.

Walmart Haul
I have open up pjs, peroxide, panty liners, mederma (heard good things) , silicon scar sheets(minimizing scarring hopefully), Neosporin, carmax, gauze, vitamin e oil, and a pill box, also bought some vitamin c pills that I need to start taking.
Time ??????
If feel like it's a year from now, but only 35 more days.... Still pretty far.
Almost Pre-op time!
Today is Saturday and my pre op appt is Monday. Don't really know what to expect but I know I will update in how it goes and what we go over. I plan to make a list if questions to ask him. I know it will be a lot!!! Lol
Pre-Op
My Pre-Op was really quick. I sign in and got call back. Meet with my surgeon. I had this whole list of questions and within 30 seconds of him talking he had just about answered them all. With a few exceptions. When I asked about sex, he got a kicker out of that. He gave me the soap he wants me wash with the night before and the morning of surgery. And some papers. We didn't do any blood work like I thought we were. My surgery is in 07 days, so time is winding down. Surgery is at Noon but I have to be there by 10 and its a hour away so hopefully the ride back isn't too painful. Having to be there 2 hours early is because we will then do blood work im guessing and markings l0l. But yeah I have about everything I think im going to need. More stuff than my surgeon requires but hey whats a girl to do l0l. I just need a button up shirt and some Tylenol to wing off the pills.
Tomorrow!!!
Tomorrow is surgery! Im nervous and excited all in one emotion. Ive never been put to sleep! So im really nervous about that. Packing my hospital bag. :) I will update as soon as I get in there and as soon as im out.
Any advice ?

Morning Of
Last night I washed with the special soap the doctor gave me and this morning I am doing the same. I will be getting my bloodworm done soon too soo PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS
Out of surgery
Just a little update. Surgery went went well. I stay over night. This morning my nurse removed my drains so that was a huge relief. I couldn't hold ANY food down so still working on that. The hour drive home was bad at all. I could barely feel a thing. The nurses were very good to me. I'm a little in and out writing this but I will try to give a full update a little later
Update
SORE!! I am really sore. I did get to shower yesterday which was amazing! I used antibacterial soap. It also took some of the soreness away. The Percocet gives me headaches so I try not to take them as much. I almost fainted twice while trying to get undressed and into the shower so I would recommend getting undressed and then turning the water on. I got to see my breast and I like what I see soo far. They are a little too small I think, but my back pain is gone. Do wish I had a little more but maybe once they aren't swollen and drop a little I will like them more.
Oh yeah
I didn't have to do any blood work at all. All they did was made me pee? Anyone else just do this
This freakin bra
This surgical bra has hits to go!!!!!! It's the worst part of healing omg!!!! It's so tight! I'm asking for a bigger size on my pre op visit
Post Op Appt
Appt went smooth. Was about 3 mins long. He told me I could go into a jogging bra and too start using peroxide and Neosporin
2nd post op
Everything went well UNTIL he told me I could take my strips off and when I did this happend.....
New bra!!!!
Whew . I finally was able to get out of that straight jacket also known as a surgical bra. I bought a front zipping Danskin bra from Walmart. And regular white one. The front zipping one is very comfortable.
38C!!!!
I was able to go to Dillard's to get sized. ( I love Dillard's. They allow you take your bra off for an better sizing and to try on a bra! ) and I'm a 38c. Tried on a 38d also but It was a lil too roomy ??. Feels good to go from a E to a C . Perfect size.
Well today I am 2weeks post exact and I had sex last night (tmi) but my boobs are hurting today and I think it was because of the sex. All throughout my healing my actual boobs have not been hurting more on my sides where the liposuction was done but today it was my boobs. So I bought more Neosporin with pain relief and I applied that and doing a lil better other than the soreness.
