2 weeks to go until my surgery..starting to freak out a little! I've been thinking about doing this for over two years now and have finally decided to go ahead with it. I appreciate all of the posts on here as I've read SO many and it has helped me make a more informed decision.
I'm choosing saline and a smaller size in hopes of having less complications..not saying that bigger or gel is worse but it just makes me feel better about it overall as safety has been my biggest reason for hesitation.
I've had 3 consults and one of the doctors told me that I'd likely get the lymphoma and die in 10 years!! That surely scared me away for the past year however I've continued to do research and have made my decision to pursue bigger breasts.
I'm scheduled to have thanksgiving dinner with my family 3 days post-op though and am wondering if anyone reading this who's already been through it thinks I'll be up and moving enough by then to attend this family event? (I'm not planning on telling anyone on this side of the family so would need to be walking and moving about normally).

Doubts & Worries

Less than a week away now and I've been freaking out..wondering if this is the right decision after reading about so many issues and explants. I'm even having bad dreams and waking up then not being able to fall back asleep. I think my major worry is knowing that I will need at least one more surgery down the road either to remove them eventually or to replace them. I hope I've made the right decision to go through with this, too late to back out now as I've already paid!

It's actually done now, can't believe it! I ended up with 275cc in right and 255cc in left to keep them even. Pain not too bad today but I've been taking meds. I'm happy but can't wait until they drop to actually see how they'll look as I'm already thinking I could've went a bit bigger.
