I have an upcoming surgery taking place this Friday (and yes, I am VERY nervous). I am having a fat transfer to the breast. The fat will be harvested from my abdominal (top and lower), flanks and back. Dr. John Hamel (Waxhax, NC) will be performing the procedure. I am currently a solid B cup so I'm hoping to hit a solid C or better yet, a small D. I have been packing on the pounds to make sure I don't loose any weight in the meantime. I will keep you updated :)

The price ($3k) seems unusually low for this procedure?

Procedure Today :)

Well, today is the big day. I will not say that I'm not nervous, because I am. I've so many videos of this procedure that I can probably perform it myself (lol). My appointment is at 1pm. For breakfast, I ate an egg and cheese sandwich. I plan to eat prior the procedure as well so the medicine doesn't upset my stomach. I've been drinking plenty of water also. I will check in later. Wish me luck :)

I hope your eating is happening at 5:00 in the morning. I have never heard of eating so close to surgery time. You will be in my thoughts and prayers today. God Bless.

I was told to have a light breakfast so I wouldn't get sick from the medicine.

If I had to guess, it was an awake procedure. Mine was, too, and eating before definitely helped! :-) NO nausea, and I ate right after, too!

Well it's been 24 hours since I had my procedure done. I'm in a lot of pain but the pills have help a lot. I had a little drainage but I think it's clearing up. My boobs hurt the worse. Almost reminds me of post-baby when they're full of milk. I was about to get 700cc in one breast and 650cc in the other (one breast has always been smaller). I have a hard time getting out of bed so I need help with that. I'm drinking plenty of water and ginger ale so I'm getting up a lot. As for food, I'm mainly eating soup and applesauce. For breakfast I have 2 scrambled eggs and a banana. I need to keep something like on my stomach so the meds doesn't make me sick (which happened last night when I took the pain meds on an empty stomach). The procedure itself was very painful. I have some friends that have did it and want to do it again. Me personally, I won't be doing this again.

Rest, Rest, Rest!!! Good eating. Although I only had 200cc's transferred from my abdomen, I had no pain at all. Amount and location of the fat moved makes a big difference. I am scheduled to have a repeat in July. My procedure took place April 10th and all the black and blues are finally gone. I think I retained most of the transfer but some disappeared. I am sorry you are experiencing so much pain. You will feel better soon. Thanks for sharing and God Bless..

Hi, I'm looking into the surgery and just want to know why would I have to get a repeat so close?
How exciting! Will you have someone to help you this first few days post op?
