consuItation:
went into the office and told my doctor i wanted to be a D cup from my flat chested A cup. He suggested 600cc but it thought that would have been too big. So i went with 500cc on my left and 550 on my right.
Pre-op:
Signed forms, walked into take pregnancy test then my doctor marked me before taking me into the OR.
the anesthesiologist was very professional. The staff was very awesome. they first gave me "tequila" thru iv to calm my nerves, i low-key felt really high and good lol. then i was out.

Post op-
I woke up with boobs!!! ;DDDD
i was so so cold from the anesthesia so i had to take deep breathes.
the car ride home was painful when the road was bumpy

UPDATED FROM strawbetty
6 days post

update - post op day 6

I had to completely stop taking my painkillers and actually used a laxative to go number 2 :o on day 4 i drove to school and it was a bit uncomfortable to turn but if done slowly it was aye okay!

sitting in the classroom with a tight feeling chest wasn't what i wanted but i couldn't miss this class. I went to the bathroom 7 times that day when i put the laxative suppository. I've been eating mainly veggies and pork and chicken. No seafood! (since i do keloid, i think it's an asian thing)

I have been taking 2 oxy to sleep at night because i am still sleeping 45 degree angle sitting up on my bed with pillows. My one week appointment is tomorrow :)

Looking at myself in the mirror naked has been really freaky. I don't like the way it looks right now but it's ok, patience is key. I got sports bras from walmart (a pack that comes with 3 different colors) My friend tanja helped me get them because she says its most comfy :D i was wearing the 34 but it was a little too tight so i switched to 36 and it's a lot less tight on my chest.

Im still taking antibiotics 3x daily. No drinking or smoking. yay.
the pain and discomfort seems to be getting better and better by the day. I didn't need to take painkillers on the 3rd day but i still wanted to since i had them laying there, i mean, why not ;p
But since the constipation , i have been cutting back to just taking it to sleep.

The burning and shooting sensation still happens when i lay a certain position or move my arm a certain way. It's probably my muscles being stretched and nerves reconnecting but i will ask about this tomorrow and update this after i talk to my doc!

I actually have very bad scarring from the nipple incision and they keloid and i have taken some steriod shots on them which worska little but its very visible still. My boobs arent the same size either because i believe one of them dropped more than the other. its been 6 years and i feel like i want to get them done again or taken out and do fat transfer instead. not happy with the results.
