Surgery Day!!!!!
yqg2yegMay 17, 2018
WORTH IT
So the time has come for surgery. I'm sitting here shaking in my hospital gown. LITERALLY....it is COLD in here. Surgery was scheduled for 9am and it's 9:10am and the Dr hasn't even been in to do my markings yet. Timeliness does NOT seem to be Dr Louie's forte. He was also late for my consultation.
I am hungry, thirsty and tired from lack of sleep. Emotions are all over the place. Part of me wants to throw my clothes back on and run for the hills but the sane part of me knows this is best. I think I heard someone washing their hands might be the Dr....gotta go! I'll try to update later if I'm not too out of it.
See you on the other side....Happy smaller boobies day to me!!!

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.

Surgery postponed
yqg2yegMay 15, 2018
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!

My breasts look very similar to yours and I am having a consult with Dr Louie for a reduction and am terrified that they will look horrible after…
