Pre-Op Its Starting to Get Real
Well I went in for my Pre-Op on Dec. 3 and lets just say I can't believe my day is approaching so fast. The nerves have not really set in, it is more I am ready lets do this so I can get through the recovery process.
When I got to my PS I handed in my large stack of pre-op paperwork, all the dos and don'ts of surgery, what to expect from the procedure, anesthesia, etc. I was given a list of stuff to prepare for the day of my surgery and what to expect immediately after.
I was then taken to a room where my pre BA images were taken. Then the nurse went over even more stuff with me including my prescriptions. I was not expecting that much medication. I will take a valium the night before, a valium and flexeril the morning of the surgery, then to manage pain I have tramadol, phenegren for and upset stomach, ceftin as an antibiotic for 6 days following the surgery. She let me ask all my silly questions that I pretty much knew the answers to, but needed some peace of mind.
When do I need to stop working out before the surgery? You can work out up until the day before.
Can I take my multivitamin? Yes, they encourage that I stay on that routine and add vitamin C as well. I am adding Arnica too, to help with muscle soreness and swelling post op. They said that was ok.
Can I have my nails painted the day of surgery? Yes. This used to be a no because they needed to be able to see the blood flow in your fingernails, but with technology they aren't worried about that.
After she answered more questions she confirmed my implant size with me. 375cc HP Mentor smooth round silicone. I said that was the one, and forgot to ask if he would have different sizes in the room in case that one didn't work out.
I couldn't help but have a multitude of thoughts running through my mind while I was there. Is this right for me? Will I look good after the surgery? Will the implants be the right size or too big? How much pain will I be in? Will I be happy with the results?
I then countered the negative with some positive thoughts I have had in this whole process. I have always wanted to have breasts. I will fill out shirts better. I will look more womanly. I won't have to wear a big padded bra anymore (even though I have quite a collection haha). I won't be self conscious in front of my future boyfriend (yes I am single, but don't plan on that forever haha). I will have the confidence with my body that my personality normally eludes. Lastly, I am doing this for me and for no one else and I am ready for this. I have thought about it for years and gone back and forth on it and I think it is time to do it. I am in a place financially, I have a good job, I am finishing my MBA, I have a lot of doors opening for me soon, so why not do this for myself?
By the end of my Pre-Op the nurse took my last payment and told me my tentative surgery time. I am scheduled at 12:45pm on Dec. 18. I need to be there by 11:30. As much as I wanted to be first thing in the morning I couldn't help but think this time will work better. Where my surgeon is located there is quite a bit of traffic and construction. We will be missing the majority of rush hour traffic in the morning and afternoon.
I am excited for this new me that is about to come out, an early bday present for my 29th. What a way to spend your last year in your 20s. I feel like I have Real Self to thank for helping with all my questions and just being supportive in this changing time in my life. Having surgery is a big deal and I love that I have had the back up from real self to get me through!
