23, 190lbs, No Kids, Ready and Nervous. T-3 Days!! - Fairfax, VA

I'm so glad I found this site! It's been so helpful already!! As many of you have said, I developed very early and since then have endured the comments and the jokes and having to fork over much more money for a bra than those within the "normal sizes". I always wondered whether guys were interested in me or in my body, but thankfully I met my husband who are is the greatest man on earth. He is so supportive of this procedure and says he can't wait for me to be pain-free and to be able to shop for clothes and bras without the restraints of my boob size. I met with Dr. Andrew Kriegel about 2 months ago and while at first I was unsure, after doing my research and finding you all on here I am determined to go through with this. I am scheduled for July 30 and so will have a complete month before having to go back to work. I am currently 36GG and am hoping to go down to anything between a C and a DD. I'm not skinny so I'm afraid of looking disproportionate. I can't wait to be able to work out and dance and be more active without being weighed down by my chest. I would love to hear from you all, as I am very nervous about being put under. I've never done it before and have heard people waking up nauseous and /or in pain. Do you get pain meds before you wake up? Also, what should I buy before Thursday? Thanks!

The surgery could not have gone smoother! All of the nurses and the surgeon, my husband and my family were amazing! Anesthesia was nothing and I woke up pain free. I did puke twice but just liquids. My first thought waking up was " I have to peeee!!"
My first night was great, no pain with the drugs. Today I've been in a lot of pain so I've been in and out of sleep. I might take a peek at the girls tomorrow and take some pics!!!

Yesterday and today have been a little rough. As soon as the pain meds would start wearing off, the pain would kick in. Stabbing pain in the lower incisions. Once the meds kick in though it's fine. One unexpected issue I've been having is an overactive bladder. I have been peeing at least once an hour and I feel like I don't quite empty all the way. No burning or pain, just the frequency and fullness. Any thoughts or advice on this?
Also drains come out tomorrow so I will post pics after. I haven't even had the courage to look yet!!!
