WORTH IT$9,500
Surgery is in 2 days and very nervous! I have wanted to get this done for over 15 years and am excited for the end result, but wish I could skip this part. I keep reading about people having terrible pain, and I'm worried about going back to work 5 days post op. I trust that I have a great doctor. It will really help to have people's support, especially those of you who have been through this! I hope it isn't as bad as I expect it to be. Will try to journal here throughout this journey.

Day of treatment
Just back from surgery!
Surgery went SO well this morning! Feeling no pain at all and very clear-headed! He inserted a marcaine pain pump that will deliver numbing medication for the next 3 days continuously, and that pump is a miracle. Haven't seen them yet since I'm wrapped in an ace wrap until tomorrow, but will post another update then! :)

Congrats!! Glad you are doing so well. I don't know many surgeons who use the pain pumps, but my advice is just to still relax and don't push it. Even if you can't feel it, you could be straining the girls/muscles and you wouldn't know it because you're numb. Just be careful!!!

Will definitely post some tomorrow when I'm allowed to remove the wrap! Excited to see them too! Yours look great by the way!

Yes that's what I was thinking too, definitely don't want to do too much and end up regretting it later!

Rough first night
Last night was a little rough, not gonna lie. Had to sleep propped on a few pillows, took my regular pain pill, then ibuprofen, then after an hour got up and had to take another pain pil, then later a sleeping pill and was finally able to fall asleep. Took a few hours and was jealous of my boyfriend sleeping like a baby without a care in the world next to me! He has been super helpful and caring throughout this process though and it is very sweet how concerned he has been. My left side bled through the bandage and stained the sheets but today seems to have stopped. I think it was normal leakage from the pain pump site. I'm definitely lucky to have this pain pump and am nervous to see what the pain is like when it wears off on Saturday! Will post pics later today!
