Oh, So Worth It! - Huntersville, NC

I did not have the 3D imaging. If it's something you want, ask for it. It's as easy as sending Ashley an email, I'm sure. My pre-op appt bascially consisted of blood work, paperwork and deciding on implant size.

It's hard to set expectations for this kind of surgery. It's life changing. That's why I went into surgery believing that this would be the worst experience fo my life. I thought, if I set the bar low, anything that exceeded my expectations would be a bonus. You can do this. You have a lot to look forward to. Overall, it's smooth sailing from here. You got this. Good luck!

I'm so glad the green tea worked so well for you Mothera8. I absolutely love it. It's a miracle worker. I've never heard of Teavana, but I 'm going to see if I can find one near me now :)

I had the same problem with the cheeky coverage. I still liked them the best though. I did see a compression suit at victoria's secret that was a thong. It looked awesome, but I wasn't wearing compression at that point anymore. Being in VS, it was probably $$$, but you could try it. I forgot about that until just now or I would have mentioned it before.

Hey tuberose. I had concerns about clotting as well. Hunstad used compression on my legs during surgery and during my stay at the center, to minimize the chance for clots. I was worried that I wouldn't be mobile enough during my recovery process, but that wasn't the case. I tend to swell so I made an effort to push a lot of fluids post op-which kept me actively going to the restroom, even throughout the night. My husband was my care taker and he set alarms on his phone to remind me to walk around and to take my meds which was helpful and you could do that yourself. Also, I got a bottle of baby aspirin, 81 mg, to help ease my mind and took them with my pill regimen.
