I am finally doing this. And it's been 8 yrs...

I am finally doing this. And it's been 8 yrs overdue! I made the decision 2 weeks ago to find a reputable practice that would help me offset some of the cost of BA with financing and I went headfirst and scheduled with Dr. Basile in Lauderhill, FL. Two girlfriends and I are flying into FLL tomorrow. I'm choosing my size and having surgery the next day. I'm allowing myself 4 nights to recover before flying back home to GA.
So God has honestly blessed me with good genes. I don't have the best skin, but I swear I'd rather be me than anyone else :) 2015 is my year to fulfill my WANTS. Before children I had a beautiful 32 C, 26 waist and a ""donk" before they were popular! I'm about 5 pounds over where I'm most comfortable, but I'm finding that really do like a little meat. Still pushing to get back to my goal weight. I'm rambling...I am going for it with this surgery! I want some D cups. Period. So what amount of cc that is I'm not sure. I'm thinking 450 to 500 and I hope to even them out. Going under muscle and I'm going to try my darnedest to convey that I really want my incision to heal in the crease, not the bottom of my pretty new girls.
Anesthesia freaks me out, but I'm helpy and have faith that I'll get through the surgery just fine. I understand that there will be pain for days, but I'm sure that it will be worth it in the long run.
Wish me luck! I will post when getting sized TOMORROW!

The staff at the surgery center of browsed county made me feel at ease. It is a bit of a survey mill, but hey I made it out on one piece. Dr. Basile's reputation proceeds and her certainly lived up to everything I heard. Patient, kind, listener (ideal qualities right?) and new his stuff. This was our first meeting an hour and a half peior to rolling back. My care team, Basile, Mariama, my tech and pro-op nurse headed my request for being handled with care. Sounds bitchy to even impart this on them, but I did! Lol especially when I heard another nursing screaming at a patient that seemed disorient coming out of surgery :)
Anyway, I arrived at the center at 730a as requested. There was a mix up with scheduling, but I was brought back at 8a. Basile met ms around 830a and we made a decision on implants. He looked at my existing tissue and body frame and assured me that I should be able to achieve my desire of a natural looking D! ???? He went over some helpful pistol instruction. I then rested for another before being taken back. I went in and out of nervousness and sentimality. I expressed to the anesthesiology that I had to amazing little fellas to get back to and she understood :) and explained that she would be in the OR with me the entire time. She's, what a stressful career!
I was wheeled back to the OR room at 930 and was no to impressed with the look of the overall center. Could def use an overhaul. I have no doubt that it's clean, but when things r old and linoleum and paint is chipping or things are stained it is a natural feeling to question sterility. I digress - they were playing MJ in the OR and that lifted my spirits. I climbed and the table and then woke up in recovery feeling so happy :) it's done!!!
The dispensary of the prescriptions could definitely been handled better as opposed to them giving them to my caretaker as they wheeled me out. However, I made it to my room just fine. My loving friend is taking great care of me. Perfect scheduling of light snacks, Gatorade, ginger ale, soup, nausea meds, antibiotics, muscle relaxers lol where I'm in the state to be expected. A ton of brickson my chest.
Doc said my current stars were:
5'2"
135 pound
34b
Major assume try that he described as normal.
My card listed 425cc on each I'm just unsure of the profile. That raised my eyebrows because we discussed a larger silicone implant in the smaller breast. Oh well. And I had the incision in the crease of my breast. One pic for now but will post the real deal after uncovering these ladies at my post op tomorrow!
