Pre-op visit
Well the pre-op went very well. Dr Annigians nurse was very informative on everything from what to expect when I first take off my bandages for my first bath on post -op day 3, to how much activity I should be doing for the first few weeks. So, hubby and I are to arrive 1 hour before scheduled time for surgery which is 10 am. Nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before ( this is going to be hard for me :). I will see the Dr In His office, he will see me and mark my breasts where he wants thenew position of nipples to be ect. Then we will walk down the hall to the surgical suite and do this!! We will spend the night in the hospital hospitality house and go home the next day! I will be wearing a compression garment and sports bra for the next several weeks. Now to get everything here at my business and home caught up before the next two weeks. I am also to start Arnica 3-4 times a day as reccommened by his nurse until after surgery for bruising and soreness... Until next time...we will talk soon :))

How are you liking the smaller size? Are you feeling better? Family feedback?

Good morning! I do like the smaller size. It was really a big change going from bra size 34 DD and some larger and the 550 removed to 225 and a lot of excess skin and tissue removed. There are sooo many incisions inside and out, I'm just a little concerned that everything is going to land in its proper destination :). But, I also am an overthinkinker on a lot of things. My daughter loves them and says, now you look proportionate to your small frame...my two sons just keep asking me if I'm feeling ok, and if they can do anything for me. hubby, he's has been wonderful and is always my grounding wire, lol...he just says, relax, this Dr. Knows exactly what he had planned, so give it some time. Most of friends are not much on opinions until we all get together for a fun girl night, and the wine starts flowing lol, ...the lipo areas are starting to take shape. Still major swelling, but, my skinny jeans already fitting better when I can tolerate then....CG for another 3 weeks.

Bebe, I just want you to know I went through weeks of anxiety over my breast too. I has so much work done like you. Now my scars are barely noticble and nipples are where they be. The only issue I'm having is that I didn't have strattice support and I feel like my breast are falling to the sides. It's only when I lay down so I'm trying not to worry about it until I'm a year out.

I just have to tell you how much I loved your comment about your grandchildren drawing you as the only family member with boobs...and stick figures to top it off. Wish we could see a picture of that...very precious indeed!
