5 Days Post-Op - Feeling Pretty Great!

It's been 5 days and I'm actually feeling pretty amazing. I am getting the crazy 'popping' noises and its so weird. I was extremely tight the last couple days and I'm finally starting to feel like they are relaxing a big. Both incisions are looking okay and no pain around that area. Still a lot of numbness, mostly on the right side. I also feel like they have dropped quite a bit as well. Only taking pain meds before bed now and can go the entire day without anything. Still drinking tons of water. I think I'm happy she decided on 375cc instead of 350cc. I feel SO much better about myself. Overtime I go to the bathroom I have to flash myself in the mirror to admire them. haha

All Done!!! Went with 375cc Cohesive Gel - SO HAPPY!

Well yesterday was the big day and I have to say everything went really great! I woke up around 6am to shower and get everything ready. Arrived at the clinic at about 9am. They got me in right away and went over all of the paperwork with me. I got my gown on and waited for my surgeon to come in and start drawing on me. She was seriously truly amazing and I am so happy that I decided to go with Dr Findlay-Hall. She made me feel so calm and comfortable and answered all of my questions. Our original plan was to go with 325-350CC Cohesive Gel implants, but after she took some pictures and drew on me she decided that 375CC "gummy bear" implants were the best route to go and I definitely agreed with her.

I will say getting on that table and laying there while 3 or 4 nurses were hooking up machines and getting my IV's in was super scary. They were so amazing though talking to me and joking around to make sure that I was calm before drifting off to sleep. Within seconds that's exactly what happened.

I woke up in recovery feeling great. Until I started having some really really horrible "phantom" gall bladder attacks. I have had problems with my gall bladder for the last couple years which ultimately lead to getting surgery to remove it. I sometimes get these random "phantom" attacks usually with specific medications. We concluded that the T3's and the codeine is what spiked it. Unfortunately this lead my recovery time at the clinic about an half and a half longer than needed. They switched my prescription to percocets instead of the T3's and all has been fine! If I was to talk about just the recovery on just the breast implants it was nothing! I felt super fantastic. The nurses were the best I have ever had. Mainly Kristine (I hoped I spelt that correctly) was super super helpful and she made sure everything was perfect before sending us on our way.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty sore but nothing too horrible. I am super happy with my decision and am happy to say the whole experience was great. I will keep updating in the next couple of days. Congrats to all of those who have recently had their surgery as well!

TOMORROW!

Well tomorrow is the day! I am SO nervous and have a feeling I will not be able to sleep at all tonight. I have my house all clean so my fiancé doesn't have to do anything except take care of me lol. I have been going over sizes non-stop trying to make a decision. I don't want them to be too big but I also don't want them to small and have the surgery be pointless. I'm also nervous about the recovery. I will be having cohesive gel implants over the muscle. Anyone else over the muscle? Does that make the recovery easier than those with under the muscle? Just hoping for the best!

Dr Hall-Findlay was super amazing. I felt so comfortable and at ease every step of the way. She answered all of my questions and made sure I understood all aspects of the surgery. She told me all of her opinions on size, type of implants etc based on the wishes I had for myself. All of the staff was extremely supportive and super nice as well. Not once did I feel out of place or nervous. I also have to say that my nurse in recovery (Kristine, and I hope I spelt that correctly) was one of the best nurses I have ever had. I had some minor issues coming out of recovery and she made sure everything was okay before leaving. She took such great care of me and I want to thank you SO much for everything she did for me. I was super impressed with the entire office and staff and could not have picked a better Dr. I highly recommend Dr. Hall-Findlay if you are considering BA in Alberta. I am from Calgary but driving the extra 2 hours was SO worth it.
