I came home yesterday around 12 and ever since then I've been feeling pretty good! I've been walking around the house a lot and i really don't have a lot of pain, except for when i wake up in the morning. its really annoying to sleep on my back though because i never do. The loritab i was prescribed doesn't really do much, it just dulls the pain a little, so I've been taking advil with it, which has helped. other than that, theres no real news. haven't taken off the bra an gauss yet so i haven't seen anything, but i'll update ASAP! :)

Congratulations! I am a DD and reading your story I could totally relate as far as being afraid of being hospitalized. I have wanted this surgery for as long as I can remember but get queasy at the thought of surgery. I even get queasy looking at some of the post op pictures. I would pay out of pocket if it meant having breasts I was happy with but I think insurance might cover it, which would be great. I also would go down to a A cup if I could! Do you know if they determine new size based on weight / height? Honestly I want to be a B cup. But if I had to be a small C that would be OK too. I just want perkiness and cute tops : ) I have 3 consults set up next week and 1 place said they could get me in as early as September if I chose them. Again, congratulations on your new life : )

Thanks!! and yes, i think they decide the size based on your body type, but also your preference of what size you want to end up with. I want to be a B/C, but i can't really tell yet! still lots of swelling. Good luck with your consultations and i hope you love your results!! :)

Thanks for responding. How is the pain? Are you bruised? Are you still in bandages? Sorry for all the questions! I just can't get over how nervous I am and I haven't even had the consults yet but is something I know I will get done as soon as possible. It's been far too long!

My pain really hasn't been that bad, it was while I was still in the hospital but not much now. I've mainly been taking advil and loritab, but I didn't take much today and I was fine. everyones' body reacts differently though. I haven't taken off the bandages, so I haven't seen the full extent of the bruising, but I'm pretty sure i am on the undersides of my breasts and under my armpits. Im probably going to keep on the bra/gauze until monday, which is my next appointment. Don't be nervous!! i know its hard not to be, I was!! It really wasn't as scary as i thought it would be at all. Everyone at the hospital is so nice and its their job to take care of you. Anyways, congrats on your decision, you'll do great!! :)

Hi, I wanted to check in and ask how you are doing? Have you taken off the bandages yet? I have my first consult tomorrow.

Hi. So I went to all 3 consults and all 3 doctors were very different. The last one couldn't even tell me how much she intended to remove and was very adamant to give me even a rough cup size I would end up. Your post says you are a 36c?? How do you feel now that it's been a few weeks? Did your P.S. give you any idea beforehand around what size you would be post surgery?

Sorry for all the typos! Hard to type/proofread on an iphone. Anyways, I think y'all get the gist.
