I can't believe it, but I am now scheduled for my breast lift with augmentation for July 9! I have been thinking about it for the past year, and needed to convince my hubby that this was something I really wanted as he didn't think it was necessary. I knew I couldn't go ahead with it w/o his support, as he is the only person that knows about it. Unfortunately I cannot share this with my family, as I know they wouldn't be supportive. He told me if it was really important to me, to go ahead with it. The only thing is, we won't know if he can take the time off from work to travel to the PS office until just a few days before my surgery, as we will be staying overnight nearby so that I can return the next morning for my post-op checkup. If he cannot go with, I will need to hire a nurse to stay with me that first night. I have been reading everyone's reviews, and they are very helpful to calm my nerves, but I still get periods of panic. It doesn't last for long, as I just go to realself for some inspiration, and i always feel much better! I am wondering if anyone else has stayed the first night w/o a family member or friend, and had to stay with just a nurse or recovery center staff? I want to thank everyone for sharing their stories, as this site has been my inspriation for actually following through with it, and making the decision that I am worth it! I often get feelings of guilt, due to the fact that I will be spending a large amount of $ on myself. But I can see that everyone is so happy that they've done this for themselves. I know I will be too. Any comments, suggestions, or prayers will be greatly appreciated!

I'm sure everything will be fine wether you have your hubby or the nurse. I know you would rather have your husband but the nurse will be qualified to answer any medical questions you have and to be there for reassurance. I traveled with my hubby to get my lift and aug done and a lady I met at the dr's office had a nurse stay with her and she loved it. She said she probably drove the nurse crazy with all the questions she asked her but she felt like she was in good hands. Well, hope that helps and congrats on your decision! Please keep us posted.
