Excited and Nervous at the Same Time! Only 19 Days Left - Fort Wright, KY

Well I have never started a blog, but I feel it's important to document my journey to my breast augmentation and donut lift. After doing research for PS in my area, I have decided to go with Dr. Vennameyer. His post pics look wonderful. After my consultation with him, I can say he totally listened to me and what I was hoping to achieve with my surgery. The whole office was so very nice and caring. I have called the office a couple of times since and each time I was greeted with nice reception. At my consultation we decided on Allergen silicone 475cc HP under the muscle. Set a surgery date and started the process.

I little about me. I am 53, have one child, I breastfed. I weightlifting from the early 80's until last year. After I quit heavy lifting I lost a lot of pectoral muscle definition. This yr, I lost another 29#. Needless to say my breast are flat and deflated. Agh... I took pics this morning and couldn't believe how bad they look.

I have my pre op appointment with my PS. It's really going to happen. I am starting to get all my "ducks" in a row, so to speak. My PS will give me my scripts for my meds. I know some of the meds are not covered by my insurance, but what can one do? I have been looking into getting a pillow wedge for my bed to help keep me elevated at night. I don't plan on staying in bed except to sleep. I know from previous surgeries that getting up and moving about within limits really helps the healing process. Thursday I have an appointment with my primary doc for my EKG. My insurance will cover this as long as it's done in office. I just pay my co-pay, and the blood work will be done at a stand alone lab, so it's covered 100%. My surgical bra should be here this week.
I'm trying to arrange my schedule so I am not committed to anything for 2-3 weeks after surgery, except for work. I have an all day event 9 days after surgery, but I don't know if I should cancel this or not. (Any veterans out there, your input with this would be very helpful). Also, what do you do to counter act the effects of the antibiotics on your gut flora? That's one of my BIGGEST concerns. I haven't taken antibiotics in 4-5 years.
I know I am rambling, but I am keeping this surgery private, except for my husband and everyone here on realself. I don't want to here negative judgement from family members or anyone else. This is my decision, not theirs. It's stressful enough to get everything ready for the surgery as well as prepare myself, mentally & physically, without outside negativity! Anyway.... Hope everyone has a great day, and if your healing up may this day you show much improvement!

Well my pre op appt. went very well. Love that Dr. Vennemeyer doesn't rush you through, he actually listen to you and truly seems to care. We confirmed the size of my implants, they will be Allergan Silicone 475cc, placed under the muscle. He will do a donut life, but if it doesn't do enough to lift he will remove more skin underneath at the crease. I got my surgical bra, my prescriptions, which are many...

I do have a question: Do you think that by my 9th day post op will I feel good enough to go and participate in a 1/2 day event? I need to give my commitment in the next day or so.
