2 months post op, SORENESS!!?
ORIGINAL POST
So....I can't believe I'm really doing this......
$6,900
So....I can't believe I'm really doing this... That I went to a consultation (11/13) with a doctor highly recommended by Aunt and others. I got approved for my Care Credit. My work schedule isn't out yet so I was able to make the quick change for the procedure and recovery. My finals are ending that week. It seems like everything fell into place real quick and that this is meant to be. I scheduled my BA on 12/12.
I'm a single 31 year old mother of a 2 year old boy! EEEEEEEKKKKK...worried bout recovery and that I won't be able to care or play with my son. Good thing, I have supportive parents and brother. Of course, my bro and pops aren't gonna be on the caregiving side so I'm counting on my mom and some friends to help me out.
I'm also a hospice nurse...I'm not a nurse that just does nursing notes and barely sees her patients. My job entails a lot of physical work along with mental and emotional stress. I have thee most awesome team so I'm not too worried bout work itself.
I was always flat chested I guess. I had tiny ones throughout high school but I was really active with sports and assumed they would grow more?! HA, I was wrong...they stopped at a small B cup. I got pregnant and whoa, I had boobs! but i knew they were temporary. I breastfed my son for almost 2 years and it got deflated!
I am a hard-working mother. I work for my son. I go to school for my son. I am...me because of him. I am giving myself a little gift for Christmas this year.
My coworker who also had the procedure done last year recommended me to go on this site. I'm glad I did so I can really understand and somewhat experience what goes on before, during, after BA.
I am so SCARED and NERVOUS though. I have like a month to mentally prepare myself but I have high levels of anxiety with other things and now this....my brain is non-stop thinking. Can I ask how you guys dealt?

Hi JeriB! I too am getting mine in December. I am getting it on 12/11/13. I am a nurse as well and am concerned about the patient lifting and what not. We'll be okay. So excited for you! Counting down the days!

So glad you found RealSelf for some much needed support! ;) What a great Christmas gift to yourself...it sounds like you deserve it! Glad to hear you have some help post op. The first few days can be tough with a toddler so that's great your mom can help out. Here is a list of post op supplies you may already know about since you're a hospice nurse, but just in case. You may also want to experiment with rice sizers you can make at home, to get a feel for how many cc's you need to achieve your new look. Be sure to read and comment on other member reviews to get additional support for your nerves and excitement! ;)
