I am two days away from my surgery date and am getting extremely nervous. I have my pre op tomorrow ( the day before my surgery) and I'm hoping it's enough time for me to get any last minute thing so may need for recovery. I am off from work ( desk job) starting tomorrow for two weeks. Have a lot of questions.

It's 5:15 AM ON SURGERY DAY! I am the very first one today and I am still quite nervous! My PREOP took forever yesterday from 2-5 just to to register and get blood drawn. And I haven't eaten anything since around 6:30pm yesterday so I'm really hungry this morning ( but wouldn't be able to eat if I could, lol) my surgery starts at 7:30am and I expected to be about 3 hours and my PS said then a wait for another hour and then I will go to a private room for an overnight observation ( optional) but I chose to... Why not get the help, right...I won't have drains. And he will be using dissolvable sutures and dealing with glue so he says I have no maintenance with the area. I won't have to do anything, has anyone else been told this? I must say he was very laced about te recovery and told me not to worry so much it is on of the least painful procedures. But I can't help but be a little anxious about the whole deal. My hubby will be taking me to surgery and staying overnight, while my little ones are with my parents. And ice in released we will swap????my hubby will take the kids and my parents will care for me. So grateful for their help! Ok guys updates later, send blessings my way ????

You look great. I'm waiting on my surgery date. August 14. I'm nervous but I'm ready to be normal. Tired of people staring at my large breasts. Reading your posts was great.

So glad my journey could help. You will certainly be glad you've made the decision. Best one I've made in a while just for me!

AL WENT WELL TODAY! I opted to stay overnight and the staff here is AMAZING! I have a pain pump ( no real pain level) I do get a little burning sensation here and there or chest ache/soreness but no extreme pain. I'm so glad about that!! The only downside I would say is I'm having to go pee every 10minutes because of this IV. Sucks.... I have no appetite at all my throat is a little sore but I'm just sucking on lozenges and drinking plenty of water. Haven't seen my new breast yet but I can tell they are much smaller( yah) dr. Says he took 1100 from each breast! It seems surreal that EVERYTIME I'm getting up I don't have to gather my breast to keep them from flopping everywhere. Must say all is well only hours PostOP:) thanks for the prayers!

Congratulations!!

Thanks so much! I really like the size they are. Of course I don't know the exact size and they still have to continue to form into their shape but I am well pleased for sure.

Congrats!!! Can't wait to see ur pics. My BR is Exactly two weeks away..I"m excited and nervous at the same time.

Congrats on your surgery. I did mines on the 9th also&like you I chose to stay, I was way to groggy to walk. & that burning Sensation is the worse. Good luck in your recovery.
June 11, 2015
Same to you on the recovery! I am already tired of sitting and lying around. My dr. Didn't give any real restrictions to me and He prescribed me an antibiotic and Tylenol 3's but I don't have real pain. What about you? I'm just wondering when the soreness will get more tolerable.
June 12, 2015
I'm more pulled right than sore. But that burning sensation will bring tears to your eyes. I was fixing the same meds&told to use neoprene where the drains are.
June 13, 2015
Yes I feel very pulled which makes me afraid to make any move my upper. But I didn't have any drains put in.
