Every question or concern you may have has been asked & answered by multiple surgeons! And women you can talk to that relate! It just really has opened up a new world for me! I have a whole new confidence! Oh! Get straws! Very handy! Your going to feel like a kid again!

UPDATED FROM Wanna Be C
1 day pre

Twas the night before surgery...eeek

Yes, less than 12 hours away until surgery. I took my shower with the Hibiclens and will shower again in the am with that and wash my hair. I bought soft, comfy PJ's that button down the front. I think I will wear my pajama shirt under my coat tomorrow leaving the hospital. My husband and I are staying at a hotel tonight and tomorrow night since we live 2 hours away.
I can't believe this day is just about here. My Dr. gave me a prescription for 2 valium, which I will take in the morning to calm me down! I have had so much nervous energy this last week. Did some major cleaning, washing, organizing and getting prepared for my return home on Thursday after my 1st post op appointment. Please send prayers and positive vibes for me and my PS tomorrow!

Did you have to wash your hair with the same solution they gave you to wash your body for the surgery ?
December 20, 2017
veroline 7...I only had to use the Hibiclens on my body above the waist. I used my regular shampoo and conditioner for my hair and safeguard soap on the rest of my body. Hope this helps...have you scheduled yours yet?

yes!! Now don't worry they don't look all that wonderful all of that takes time this is just Step2 as I like Step2 as I like Step2 as I step 3 is the they don't look all that wonderful at first they need to round out and drop and heel and that's a process also if you have a little Rippling around your areolas like I do don't worry mine are relaxing and flattening out and it's normal! Anyways God bless you and your healing and I'm so very happy for you!
