Hello!!! I am getting breast augmentation and liposuction on May 2nd. I know Dr. Erella is a board certified ps but I just can overcome all this fear. What if something goes wrong? What if I was to be allergic to anesthesia? I'm 26 5'3" 130lbs with 2 kids and pretty healthy. Does anybody else has had this fear? I wish I would be more happy and excited about this than all nervous and scared.

Hello again :) As I mentioned in a previous reply to you, I've struggled severely with anxiety. The littlest things would set me off and I would have panic attacks out of no where! Definitely surround yourself with positivity! Read all the good reviews, look at all the good results... Whatever you do, don't go searching "surgery gone wrong" or anything along those lines. Because 99.9% of the time, things go RIGHT. So don't stress yourself out worrying about what could go wrong that .01% of the time. And look at it this way too, you could die doing something as simple as crossing the street. It's not worth it to wonder "what if." You'll spend your whole life in fear rather than enjoying it and living it to it's fullest! I only ramble on because I have been in your position! More than once. Anxiety and fear can smother us. I know it's definitely taken a tole on me. I just don't want to see you avoid something potentially wonderful because of the "what if's!" Google is a wonderful tool. Try googling things like, "handling anxiety before surgery," or "how to overcome anxiety and fear." And of course, this site! :) I know I've written way too much lol But I want to see you happy and confident in your choice to undergo these procedures! If you're ever looking for someone to talk to, I and the rest of us on this site are always here for you :)

All your fears and anxiety is definitely normal. I am so excited for my BL/BA in June but so scared as well. I am a single mom, suffer from anxiety and the first thing I keep going back to is what if... But you can what if forever. When I get fearful I go through blogs, read about others day of surgery and post op stories and I find it so helpful. Keep positive and definitely surround yourself with positivity. It makes everything that much easier. Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

You will be fine. I have had loads of operations in my life. Tonsils/adenoids as a child....ovarian cysts as a young adult. Then, a tummy tuck and thigh lift in December 2012. Then a boob job in September 2013. Then, a few weeks ago I got my wisdom teeth out under general anesthesia. I have been out plenty of times with no problems. Modern anesthesia is very safe. It is more dangerous for you to drive a car IMHO than to go under the knife. You will be fine and you will like your results. Keep us posted and the best of luck to you!

So, four more days till the big day!!! Yesterday I went to do a little shopping. I bought 2 sports bra, arnica cream (they say it helps with the swelling) and I also bought coconut oil, I will start putting it in today, I'm kind of scared of getting stretch marks on my new boobs so I just rather be one step ahead. I'm already starting to feel the excitement!!!

Cough and sore throat

User Avatar

Good morning ladies! I'm a little worried because I've been having sore throat and cough and lost my voice on Sunday. It's getting better though but the cough is getting worse. Wondering if I should go to the doctor!? I am afraid I might have infection and in that case, I would have to postpone my surgery. And then my wisdom tooth is also giving me trouble. Also, I've been expecting my period since Sunday and nothing yet, just a little spotting yesterday. It would suck big time if I'd have to go to surgery when on my heavy days (usually the first and second day). Uggghhhh!!! By the way, forgot to mention I have no fever or runny nose, could be just an allergy. What y'all think?

Thank you Rita! I'm starting to feel anxious, nervous and EXCITED!!!! I'm so ready to be home resting goshhh!!! Hun don't worry too much about what others have to say, I know we would be much better with the approval of the people we love but if they don't understand you, don't feel bad! Is your body and only you are the one that know exactly how it looks w/o clothes. I say this because my friend told me (in a good way) "but why? You are fine the way you are" but they don't know our bodies like we do.

Nalley1987 thank u I needed that .what nice writing you wrote to me .your rite they will never know what it feels like to be me in my skin .so if they don't understand than it is what it is .as long as I'm happy that what matters. Take your advice to its good :) . And if after I get my BA done they don't want to be around me than they must not love me .
