Surgery in 4 Days! - Augusta, GA
Hello, I am in total disbelief that my surgery...
Hello,
I am in total disbelief that my surgery is in 4 days! I am 36 years old and I've been dreaming of a reduction for at least 10 years! I have spent a lot of time just talking about it, rather than working up the courage to actually do it. I am currently a 44H and I am hoping to eventually be a C or D cup. So here I am, less than week from surgery, and the mere thought of being able to pick up a bra in a regular dept. store, hassle free, makes me giggle:-D. Now I will admit, there have been a few moments when I have thought of backing out. But, then I come to my senses and realize the final outcome will be worth it (thanks to the reviews I have read)! Today was also a day of confirmation for me. My family and I spent the day at the zoo. We live in the south and it is very hot and humid here. Within the first hour I was miserable. My back and neck hurt(we all know that's a given), my bra was digging in and drenched with sweat, and I could already feel the start of the dreaded RASH:( It was in these moments that I caught a reflection of myself in the glass and smiled(despite the fact that all I saw were enormous boobs...lol!) For I realized that these days were soon over!!! Granted, I am still working through the fear that's keeps wanting to rear it's ugly little head...but it's ok, I'm doing this thing. Come next week, a huge weight will be lifted off my chest...WooHoo!!!!

I made it! Surgery went well. I do not know how...
me and made her markings on my breasts. Then anesthesiologist arrived, a team of 3, they slipped some wonder drug in my IV that had me on cloud nine before I was even out the door of my room! This was the part that I feared the most and it was a piece of cake! Lord only knows what I may have said on the way to the OR, I do recall telling them that I felt REALLY good...lol! The procedure took about 3 1/2 hours and waking up afterwards was fairly easy. I was a little nauseous, but luckily I did not have any vomiting:) I was released around 4:30 that afternoon and was very pleased to have the comforts of home. I have been taking my meds(Percocet) every 4 hours which has kept me quite comfortable. And my drains seem to be filling up good too. Overall, this entire experience has been very easy. I hope that tomorrow offers the same and I am continuing to pray that my nipples do well and that I have no problems with infection. I did take a before photo and plan to post once I get my first post op photo on Monday. Definitely NO REGRETS here:)

Hooray, Kelly! Glad to hear that you are doing so well! It is amazing the freedom this procedure offers! Anxious to see the pix!
WooHoo! I shall cheer with you! You are right...by this time next week you will be on the recovery side, and while that road may have some bumps in it, you know it won't last forever...but if you were to back out, the pain that you have from the massive weight of your breasts will. So stay strong, stay focused, and stay hooked up with us. We will encourage you and support you through your transformation! Congratulations and good luck :-D
The comfort is the main reason to do this, but we would be lying if we said we didn't care what they looked like. Just keep in mind that they won't be pretty immediately post-op. They will be bruised, swollen, and maybe uneven, but be patient with them. After a few weeks they will start to take shape and look like real boobs :-D
