Here's a side by side comparison of pre and post BA... I'm very happy with the results so far! Looking forward to seeing what they look like when they drop.

Over a week post surgery and feeling really good!

Sorry I've been offline post surgery since my last post! Here's pics I took the night before the surgery. As you can see, barely an AA cup.
Started my breast massage exercises yesterday after my first post-op visit with Dr. Tutela. He says things look good so far. He cut the sutures (hurt a little bit) and put on new sterile strips to cover the incisions. Started on accolate 2x a day as well. Have another follow up next week.

IT's done! My BA surgery took place yesterday morning

Day of surgery
My husband dropped me off in the morning. Surgical center staff were great! Signed all sorts of paperwork and then was brought in to the surgery waiting room where another nurse came and asked me some questions - she was going to be the nurse in my surgery. They placed a patch behind my left ear to help prevent nausea. The reason for that is in case of motion sickness post surgery (due to anestheia)
Then Dr. Tutela arrived, marked up my chest with a sharpie. Confirmed the size implants one more time. The nurse then rolled my wheel chair into the operating room. I sat myself up on to the table where three nurses were strapping me to the table with my arms out like a cross. on my legs, they wrapped this contraption that would keep the blood circulating while i was under anesthesia. The operating table was nice and warm!
That was the last thing I remember before waking up in the recover room with my new friends on my chest. :)

The nurse then came around and asked me how I was feeling. They gave me antibiotic to take after I ate the saltines and water they provided. My mouth was really dry so it was difficult to swallow without the water. After I finished 2 saltine crackers and water, I took the antiboitic pill. Started feeling much better after that.

In terms of the pain, it is like somebody wrapped my chest in duct tape really tight. That was the worst of it thank god! I was dropped off at the surgical center at 6 am. I the operating room around 8 am and in recovery around 10 am. I could have been brought to recovery sooner but not sure how long I was sleeping before they woke me up from the anesthetia. In any case, my husband arrived around noon to pick me up.
When I got home, I ate ramen noodle soup for lunch (any soup woud do) as instructed by my doctor's office. Shortly after that, I took another Oxy and antibiotic and went to bed for a nap. For dinner, I had homemade chicken chili which I froze over the weekend prior.
Went back to bed again and woke up every 4 hours using an alarm - so I can take my pain meds. Strongly recommend this as it takes a while for them to start working again if you forget - and at that time, you will certainly be in pain. It was work the lack of sleep since you will be sleeping on and off for at least 24 hours.

It's 1:30 pm now in NJ and I've been sleeping on and off since I got home at 1 pm yesterday. That's it for now. Will post pics later. I'm going back to bed :)
