Hello fellow RealSelf beauties!
I didn't mean to wait so long to post but it seems like my surgery date just crept up on me. It's been a crazy journey but its finally here. So many emotions but I have been waiting for this for 2 years.
Ever since I hit puberty in the 7th grade I have had a large chest. It was like they magically overnight grew into a D cup. Until about 6 years ago it wasn't too bad. Then it was like I hit puberty again and had another growth spurt. I haven't actually been sized but the way I spill out of a DDD I'm guessing I would probably be the next size up.
Now that i worked up enough nerve for my initial post, I will write more and post before pics tomorrow. It's way past my bed time :(

Surgery postponed

Well my surgery didnt happen as planned. :(
I was originally scheduled for May 9th at University Hospital. Literally 30 mins before I was to call for my surgery time, I got a call from th Dr's office saying my surgery had been cancelled due to the OR needing to be used for a more urgent case. Completely understandable but still disappointing. I had been waiting so long for this that the news made me sick to my stomach and put me in a really somber mood.
Fast forward one week to today and we have a new date at a new location with no chance of cancellation. :) May 17th it will finally happen!! I had called the Dr's office the following day and they were able to fit me in at the Meadowlark Plastic Surgery Clinic.
So this is round 2 of the nerves and anxiousness setting in. I'm 2 days pre-op. Panicking again that I dont have everything I will need. Worried about the recovery process but still confident I am making the right decision. Can't wait for the relief!

Can't sleep
yqg2yegMay 17, 2018
Well its 3:28am, my surgery is scheduled for 9am and I cannot sleep. So many thoughts running through my head...did I get everything I need? Am I making the right decision? What if I wake up during surgery? What's the healing process going to be like? When will I be able to get back to work? What if something goes wrong? Will I be able to do things for myself? Luckily I will have my mom, sister and adorable 6 year old niece to help me.
I feel like my stomach is in my throat.
I've been procrastinating with posting pics but since I can't sleep I will add them now. The pics dont do them any justice. I have broad shoulders so it may not look like much to some people.
Well...finally feeling a bit sleepy. Gonna close my eyes for 4 hours then it's off to have tissue removed to give me relief.

How did it go? I hope you love the outcome!
I have a consultation with Dr. Louie coming up and I'm very nervous! It seems like people like his work but maybe not him as a person. Which is fine, really.
I'm not quite so large (38DD) but what I have has caused me pain since I was young so I've had enough. I'm nearly 50 - I really want the rest of my life to be a lot more comfortable!

Honest opinion...So glad I had the surgery but if I had to do it all over again I would not choose him. My scars are hideous in comparison to my cousin who also had a BR a few months before me. Very thick(not keloids) underneath the breasts and dog eared scarring at sides. I believe this is probably partially due to the fact that he did not use any surgical tape to keep the sutures together after surgery.
