My BA is scheduled for the 29th!! NINE days!!!! I? have
been dreaming of this since I? was a preteen.. I? so looked forward to having boobs for years. They grew (in size) but they never took shape like I? thought they should. They never looked “normal”.

I? just got married in September and even on my wedding night, I? felt the need to cover my breasts. My husband loves me for me and he never saw an issue with my body but I? can’t stand the sight of them. With lots of discussion, research, and even some (wanted and unwanted) advice from family members, my husband and I? decided this is happening!!!

I? went to a consultation with a surgeon that performed BA for my cousin and best friend. I? fell in love with his work immediately! His staff was amazing and he made me feel comfortable and confident. During that consultation, I? mentioned of course what I? wanted and why. I? told him how much I? hated the shape of my breasts and that I? didn’t feel like a woman. He informed me that I? have tubular breasts and that could be altered with implants and a possible lift.

I? go for my pre-op on Wednesday and surgery is scheduled for the following Wednesday! There are no words for how excited I? am! No nerves yet, just anxious! I? can’t wait to look in the mirror and love the body in it!!! ????

Tomorrow is pre-op!!! I? am beyond excited and I? have a LIST of questions to ask my PS before surgery. At this point, I? am not worried a bit. I? think though I? am anticipating the recovery to be much worse and that has me a bit anxious. But I? took a week off work and have an amazing husband to care for me! Only 8 more days ????

Hi. It looks like you are having your surgery tomorrow. You must be really excited. Its an amazing journey. Im not sure what you do for a living, but I totally recommend people take 2 weeks off for the recovery of this procedure. I personally took an LOA from work. But, everybody is different. Ive seen women go back after just a few days. The first few days are the hardest. Mostly annoying because you cant do simple things, like open medications, or a bottle of water. LOL! Its totally worth it though. Glad your hubby is taking time off with you. Its very helpful. Mine did too. Looking forward to following your journey. Take care!! Good luck with surgery...you will do great!!!!! :)

POD2

Day 2 has been a little rough. Slept in the recliner last night and only woke up twice to take to take pain meds and muscle relaxers! Even though I don’t feel like I necessarily need the pain meds, my dr said it would be best to stay ahead of the pain rather than get pain and then try to get it back under control.

My wonderful husband slept on the couch next to my recliner last night and was there for my every need. He works second shift and unfortunately had to go back to work this evening. So far things are good. I can stand up and walk around with little to no pain. Lifting my arms up isn’t as bad as reaching sideways. I was able to get a shower this morning with no help needed! My husband sat on the bathroom counter the entire time waiting for me to need him but I was able to wash and even dry my hair on my own! My dr said it was ok to take my bandages off and shower with just the brown tape on. I meant to take some nudie pictures after my shower but I completely forgot. I will definitely take some after tomorrow’s shower! I was super emotional this morning. After my shower, I just kept looking at my new boobies and couldn’t help but think how ugly they were. I went into my operation with tuberous breasts (see before BA post). I guess I expected them to be even just a bit round after surgery but they are gigantic cones!! I hope that changes! The front view isn’t bad but side view is so triangular. I hope they will round out once they drop and fluff ???? Anyways ladies, as far as pain is concerned, it’s not as bad as I expected!!! I am super sore and feel like I did a HEAVY chest workout. I just hope this emotional rollercoaster would settle down.
