My surgery is tomorrow. I'm kind of a wreck, kind of calm.. It's a little weird to be both but that's me, always somewhere in the middle.
Getting to this point was really easy for me. I went to my doctor and explained to her what I wanted and she referred me to Northwestern Hospital, so I made an appiontment that day and was in to see my surgeon soon after. He put together the necessary paperwork and sent it off to Aetna, and received an approval about a month later, far sooner than the initial projection and without any fuss. I'm sure it's because I already have a history of severe spine issues.
I'm currently a 44H (possibly larger) and I'm actually hoping to get down to a C. I honestly would rather be too small than too large, I don't want to feel like this anymore..

They had me take off my bandages as soOn as I got home and put on a soft tshirt so I can see it all minus what's under the bolsters. I am sore and headachy but I feel a lot more lucid than I expected. How about yourself?

Feeling pretty good, sleep helps the most. How did you feel about the results?

I'm pretty happy so far, it's weird to look down and see the rest of myself and not giant booblies.

Oh goodness, that looks so painful. I feel so bad for you. ☹️️ Heck,I remember when I got implants in , omg I cried for weeks. The pain was so bad , and I was wrapped like a mummy . Couldn't do anything , bathe myself, clean, even trying to rest hurt. Recover quickly!
Best wishes to you

I spent the night at the hospital last night, deciding I'd rather be there than at home. They ended up grafting my nipples due to how large I was before but I guess I'm OK with it.
Sore today, just got a cab home and got the poor cats fed and now I don't really know what to do until my sister arrives. I think I'm supposed to take the bandage off though and just go around in a t-shirt. I also have to empty my drains. Yuck.
