WORTH IT
My surgery is scheduled for Dec 20, 2012 and I am getting VERY nervous, yet still very excited! I have read alot of reviews on here about the surgery and it seems everyone is different in their experience, healing, etc. I am hoping to have a smooth recovery and be back to school (becoming an RN in May 2014) on Jan 7, 2013 studying and working with smaller breasts!! :)
Thanks to all the ladies that have shared your experience and pics with the internet community. The pics help to ease my mind, as all the post pics look great!

My surgery got bumped up to Dec 17! Ugh. Kind of excited, but nervous too. I know that when its all over, life will be much better...but I am scared of the recovery. What have you heard about recovery? What size are you and what size are you going down to?

I'm scheduled for Dec 19I sorta jealous of you, I am a 40 G. My PS asked me how small did I want to be. I told her I wanted to be a full C. I too am nervous about the entire surgery process because I haven't been n surgery before. I have a high tolerance for pain so I'm not nervous about that. Just hoping that I heal quickly and smoothly.

I do want to be a small C but I think I've had them so long that I might miss them :) We are going to feel and look great!

My surgery was rescheduled for Monday, Dec 17!! 6 days away- ARRGGHH!! The nerves are setting in. I ordered a post surgical bra on Amazon last week and am eating protein and Vitamin K in huge abundances this week to help with post op healing! Hitting up this little store called Color Me Pink today to see if they have any more post surgical bras or anything of that sort! CANNOT wait to feel the freedom of smaller breasts! :)

Well 48 hours and counting till the big day! My surgery is scheduled for Monday 12/17 @ 11:30am! I am still super excited...the nerves haven't kicked in yet! Got all of my prescriptions filled and will be taking a Xanax (prescribed) the night before and the morning of surgery, I am sure that will help with any anxiety! Bought bags of frozen peas to help with swelling, button front pajamas, crackers and ginger ale for the ride home for nausea and making sure to bring my body pillow in the car for the ride home also. My doctor suggested to buy maxi pads instead of gauze to put into my bra after surgery, as they stay in place better and absorption is much better also, so I got some cheap Kroger brand pads. I am ready!! :)

You seem ready, I am starting my xmas wrapping tonight. My PS didn't tell me anything about the gauze to put in my bra. I am getting my pajamas today and I am thinking about getting me an anxiety prescription as well. I am scheduled for 12/19, Wednesday, Congrats to us both. Praying for us both a smooth recovery :)

2 days Post op! Surgery went really well..was in and out in less than 8 hours! Slept the whole first night..got up to pee a few times...yesterday just lounged around. The pain is not bad since I am keeping up with my Loritab every 6 hours or so for pain, Taking an antibiotic as well. 2 drains in (BUMMER)- wont be getting those removed for 8 more days! They are a pain, as you have to empty them and record the drainage every 5 hours or so..the drainage is minimal though. Have not seen my boobs yet...hubby is going to help me take a shower today (was instructed to wait 48 hours before taking one)- I am feeling quite disgusting as I haven't been able to shower since Monday! PU! LOL ...well my back is hurting, time to lay down! Not regretting this YET! :)

4 days post op- not feeling well today about anything. I am totally constipated from the anesthesia...haven't been able to go out and get anything to relieve it yet! I may try and drive to go to Walmart and get something today- we'll see. I still haven't seen my boobs face on yet, just from the top. I just get so squeamish and ill feeling when I try and look. My hubby saw them and said they look "not so bad"- ugh! LOL My surgical bras are so tight and I have to have these drains in for another 6 days which is like torture, I really hate them. I am afraid they are going to get infected. Just having a bad day I suppose. :(
