WORTH IT$13,000
POD #4. So surgery went well. I did stay a few more hours observation because I just couldn't wake up. I remember trying to keep my eyes open, but they just wouldn't. Pain was not horrible. Breasts just felt heavy like engorgement with nursing. Tummy burned a bit but nothing horrible.
Let me just say the power lift chair and raised toilet seat have been a such a help! I've done laps around the house, can almost stand up straight. That little bit of hunch does put a workout on the back muscles though! I'll be happy for drains to come out, but they are not painful, just get in the way. I have to keep them covered when showering, which means needing help to shower.
So I mistyped above, actually were 397cc style 15 implants, (not 297). Will try to post pics soon, but it is such a hassle to get the garmets on and off! Breasts look too big and high, but I know that is likely due to swelling. My incision for TT looks higher than I would have thought, but I haven't had energy to put on panties or bathing suit to see where the incision falls.

Ok, its surgery day! Excited and nervous. Kind of broken up sleep and now up two hours before time to report (more time to think about not drinking anything!)
I keep thinking I hope I lost enough weight for the TT to be beneficial. Took some pics, just ran out of time to upload sooner. I'm not worried about the pain so much as the inability to do anything after the surgery. I am normally a busy working mother "multitasker".

Great job on the WL!!! Good luck today and can't wait to hear from you on the other side.
I am like you multi tasker and exerciser and this has been my hardest part about recovery so far. Its pretty easy when you don't feel up to it, it gets harder when you are feeling better and are not allowed. YOu will get through it though!
