I am so excited!!! I had my consult w/ Dr.C Pelletiere! I'm so impressed at his office! He has nothing but great reviews I can see why now! At first his office caught me off guard from the decor. I'm doing the mentor memory gels and hoping for 425 cc silicone and doing Hp. I'm currently a large B cup. Doing the crease incision under the muscle
Counting down the days!
Really nervous for he twilight IV ????

I had twilight my first BA in 2004 but general anesthesia this time. I preferred the 2nd experience. Did they say why they wanted to do twilight?

Got it! The good thing about twilight is it's easier to come off of as far as nausea, etc. I just remember during my first surgery being able to feel some pain/pressure that freaked me out but when I told them they put more stuff in my IV and it got better

It was Dr Dumanian at Northwestern in 2004. Twilight puts you really out of it and sedated but I distinctly remember a point in surgery where I felt a jolt of pain/pressure and yelped. They immediately put more meds in IV and the rest went smoothly.

I heard some people wake up and some don't I guess it also depends on how much medicine you can tolerate.

Dr. Pelletiere is doing my surgery in a couple weeks. So what exactly what is the Twillight IV?
April 6, 2016
It makes you really sleepy but just sedates you down people sleep thru the whole thing. Usually you don't have a recollection of what is happening

I bought mine from Walmart. They are Danskin front zip no wire bras that cost about $12.97. My PS said it was perfect. I'm 5 months post op and I still wear mine when I sleep and while around the house.

I would highly recommend Brilliant Contours and their Deagonfly bra. It is $59 but worth every penny. If you can invest in 2 of them it is SO worth it. The material is so comfy and zips in front. The band comes down several inches below breasts so if you have incision in crease it won't rub. LOVE these bras!! They are super cute and come in several colors and designs

They are a little pricey but even if you buy one and wash it every few days-it is money well spent. You spend so much on the procedure and this bra is so comfortable and supportive. I tried on all the others people recommended and this by far was the best and worth every penny!

Sports authority has 3 different brands that zip in the front!

After having a set back due to some finances I now have everything I need. Waiting to get them done somewhere around January or Feb of 2018 that way it gives me time to heal by the summer. Super excited and looking thru my wish boobs. Love to hear everyone's experiences with going under the knife!!
