Everything went swell! The IV wasnt as bad as i was expecting, but I also had a phenomenal nursing team. Really- the team at the hospital was so awesome and made up for the fact that I only saw my surgeon for like five minutes. Everything went well though. I lost more blood than they expected but they said thats normal for younger people. So far everything looks good, my boobs just need to settle because right now they are sitting very high up. The hardest part for me has been sleeping on my back - getting really sore from it. Other than that I have hardly had any pain which is what I was really nervous about. All is good on this front! Woo Hoo!

Well, tomorrow is the big day! I am getting excited and nervous. I woke up this morning extra excited, but I am nervous about the recovery. To ease my anxiousness I thought I would write a list of all the reasons I'm excited to get this procedure done. Maybe it will help some of you too!
1. A lot less back pain!
2. Better posture
3. My shoulders wont constantly be tense
4. My boobs wont be so pendulant (blech!!!!)
5. I can wear matching undies and bras
6. String Bikinis!
7. Be able to wear a dress that doesn't have to cover a big bra that creeps up by back and peeks through the dress
8. Do more sportsy things, like golf, tennis and best of all... running
9. feel more confident naked
10. Feel more confident overall!
I cant wait. If any of you gorgeous ladies have any last minute advise for me, let me know! I would love to hear it :)

Good luck be sure you have something that buttons or zips up the front . I was just talking to another lady having BR surgery and that's one thing we talked about . That and figuring out a way to secure drains .. there are some gadgets out there but ive yet to find one . So lots of people safety pin them with big diaper pin like safety pins . Not passing the pin through the tubing but just securing it around the tubing then pinning it to their clothes .. this has been on my mind a lot

I'm getting excited and nervous. I've never had this drastic of a change happen to my body! I keep looking in the mirror and wondering how different it will be. I think I'm most excited for the pain to go away and to not have pendulant breasts! I think that's the thing I'm most self conscious about. This is weird, but I am nervous to have a needle in my arm for the IV! I got my blood drawn for the surgery, which wasnt bad, but the longer the needle was in my arm the more freaked out I got. Hopefully that won't happen with the IV too. Maybe I'll have to warn the anesthesiologist? Is that totally weird or is anyone else scared of that too?
