26 Year Old Fashion Professional Mommy - Memphis, TN

Omg I don't know where to start! I've read forums like this for years and have lived vicariously through so many women. I've been wanting this surgery since my freshman year of college when my back really begin to hurt and I couldn't find a good bra if someone paid me. Unfortunately I struggled through college financially and neither parent had insurance so I've had to suffer. I would start an insurance policy and stop because I just couldn't afford it. Thanks to forums like this I finally figured out the steps to take once you have insurance to get that coveted approval letter! I literally cried when I received mine in the mail a few days ago. After college I got my first professional job with great insurance and NO TIME to visit the doctor like I wanted. After a full year of giving the company I worked for my all I decided to put myself first and started the process of back pain appointments and physical therapy sessions. I eventually got laid off from the company soon after having my first born and I saw it as my time to really focus on my goal to get the procedure done. And after Breast feeding I wanted new boobs more than ever! So I called the ps to get my surgery date and at first the assistant said it would have to be next year in Feb :(. I couldn't hide the disappointment and started crying. My voice was super cracked while begging for a sooner date. She told me to keep checking for cancellations and guess what she called today and told me there's an opening for NOV. 3RD!!! Praise God! He heard my prayers. I'm so excited and ready to get this started. I could just run a marathon!

OK had my surgery 730am yesterday morning. I was sleep and drugged up most of the day so I'm just now feeling awake to blog. 3am the next day! Looking down at my boobs I can instantly tell two things theyre way smaller but I still have some boobs! Mission accomplished. They currently look like D's but I understand they're swollen. But if they stayed this size I would still be happy. Anything is better than those grandma boobs I had before. Any who I'm sore and in some pain but it has been nothing major. The morning of the surgery I took some final pics of heaven knows what size [RS bleep] and headed to the hospital. I'll include in this post. Got there, signed in, got blood drawn, iv plugged in the other arm, and later headed to anesthesia. oh before anesthesia my PS came in and talked size and drew on me. She was like a C right! I replied yes! A small C! After the surgery I was trying to remember what was the last thing I heard, said, or saw before being knocked out. Still drawing a blank. Anyway I woke up to learn my surgery only took 3 hrs. My throat was really dry and they gave me a sip of water. For the rest of the day they fed me a liquid diet. Like the broth from chicken noodle soup and jello, tea, water, and sprite. I plan on eating light while healing so that I won't gain any weight.

More detail about meds after surgery...I told the nurses the pain med being injected into my arm was jus ok...so they gave me some pain pills to go with it.this combo made me nauseous n I eventually puked. They gave me something for the nausea n kept me on the liquid diet since I wasn't holding that down too well. Also standing to go to the restroom was a big pain.
