A Life Changing Experience!!!! - Las Vegas, NV

4 days To go!! I'm ridiculously nervous & I'm not sure if it's all just pre surgical jitters or the idea that I ambit in control of anything as far as the surgery itself! I'm a bit of a control freak & I think that's some of what my anxiety stems around! I can't co trol the outcome! I can't decide how big or small I will end up. I can't pre-plan anything! I can't buy shirts or bras because my PS says he has no idea what size I'll end up! I hate the not knowing part. I need to keep busy the next few days so I'm not able to worry & think about it too much.

I went swimming yesterday! Vegas, beautiful Vegas! It was 92 degrees & beautiful outside. But trying to find a swim suit top thy covered me enough to go to a pool on the strip was quite a daunting task! It makes me remember why I'm doing this in the first place. I have no clothes that flatter me & I can't even go to a public pool & feel Comfortable!

I still havnt started my cycle yet ahhh praying it doesn't show up at the worst possible time!

I did all my labs & bought my bras & ointment & gauze... now its just a 7 day countdown!! The only thing Im worried about is that I havnt started my period yet. I was told to stop the bc for a month prior so I did but now I have no clue when it will come since Ive been on the pill for 10 years without interruption!!!

Does anyone know...Is it normal to be really late when stopping the pill???

I just dont want it to come the day of or right before or even after haha I want it over before I go in & now thats not really possible!

Well yesterday was my 27th birthday!!! Uneventful to say the least haha! But, I went to the pre-op appointment last week. It was a little nerveracking signing the 22 page consent for surery & going over the checklist of all the things to to prior to, during & after surgery. I think thats why they make you come in around 2 weeks before so the nerves the appointment rattles up are gone by the day of surgery.

I am a little worried because she kept saying 400g per breast & I was told specifically 360g so I want to double check what the exact amount is. I will probably call a few days before to be sure they received all my pre-op labs & whatnot & Ill ask about the amount during that phone call.

Im still worried about being too small or too big but I guess I need to relax & go with it. I know theres a science to how they decide the amount that needs to be taken out & I need to trust in that.

I need to get a post-op bra this weekend. Any suggestions???
