WORTH IT
Really quick random update, I am now 26 years old.
ok I just wanted to tell you guys about my surgery experience. I had to be at the hospital for 1:45pm and my surgery was scheduled for 3:00pm. I'm staying a hour away from the hospital with my boyfriend and his family for recovery so I had to leave a little earlier to be on time for arrival. When I got to the hospital I went to same day surgery. My boyfriend and my grandma arrived with me and later my mother, aunt and bestfriend arrived. I checked in, sign my consents and waited to be called. I didn't have to wait long at all. The nurse called my back and had my urinate in a cup. Once i did, she ordered me to get undressed and put into the hospital gown. They started my IV and strapped my legs with the little air compressions to prevent blood clots. I had two nurses who were really sweet, they asked a bunch of questions and once they were finish they brought my family into the room with me :).
Shortly afterwards the residental doctor came in and had my sign consents, ask a bunch of questions and told me he will be working with Dr. Babycos (my surgeon) during my procedure. Once he was done, Dr. Babycos came in and did his final markings on me. He asked me what size I wanted to be again, I begged him for a B cup, he and the nurse looked at me like I was crazy lol, they thought that would be too small for my height and frame. So I told him I wanted to stay as far away from a D cup as possible. He agreed and thought a Small C cup would be a great size for me. I wanted them as small as possible because I haven't had any kids yet. He insured me that he will get me as small as he can :) . So once he was done with his markings, I just waited for the anesthesia nurse and doctor to come in. They explained the risks of anethesia and everything and had me sign MORE papers lol.
Then became the waiting game, my surgeon explained to me that their was a quick case (surgery) in the OR before my surgery and that I would probably go in the OR around 3:30pm, well 3:30pm came and went and I was still waiting and my family was getting a bit anxious and so was I lol, But around 3:45pm, the nurse and surgeon came in and said that they will be ready for me in 5 mins, (I guess the case before me took longer than planned). But then me and my family said our temporary goodbyes or see you soon talk. And off to sugery I went. I was a bit nervous so before they road me out the room on the bed, the nurse gave me some meds to calm me down, and boy it def worked! All I remember after that was being put on the OR table strapped down and ask to breath in oxygen, I was knocked out after that!! lol
The next thing I remember is a recovery nurse waking me up and immediately asking me what was my pain level from 1-10, it was about an 8, my left breast was on fire way more than my right one. She gave my two pills to take and put something in my IV, I then had realized how sore my throat was from the tube being down it during surgery, It was kinda hard to swallow. My pain level then went to about a 5, she ask if I wanted some juice and then brought my bed into a private recovery room. After a few questions she bought my family in and everyone was just excited and happy to see me. The nurse showed me how to drain my drains and told me my surgery was only about 1 1/2 to 2 hours long but I was really hard to wake up durung recovery. My family was trying to talk to me and I was falling fast asleep on every word lol. They ask me did I want to stay overnight and I didn't, so shortly came time to be discharged, it was about 9pm or a little later. My boyfriend got my prescribtion filled and once I took my first pain pill, the burning feeling went right away and I was sound asleep again
I am now Post Op day 3 and I am feeling pretty good. I had a little dizziness the first day but by day two I was walking around a bit. I'm taking my antibiotics and pain meds. I'm trying to not take my pains meds as much and maybe just start taking tylenol because I don't want to become constipated ( which I think I might because I haven't had a BM since before surgery), but I am drinking plenty of water and eating light foods and fresh fruit. I am happy I have done this surgery. My surgeon was awesome! He stated that my breast was about 4lbs a piece and that he will be taking off 2lbs from each, but after surgery he told my family he took off 3lbs a piece which is soooo exciting to me because I really wanted them small as possible!. I didn't get to see him after surgery but I have my first post op appointment with him on Wednesday Feb. 27th, and I will be getting my drains out that day. the drains aren't too bad. They help alot with swelling. I haven't have much come from the left breast as I do th right. But It's starting to look more clear so I'm guessing that's a good thing. Overall very happy and truely blessed, healing pretty good and more bruising is also good too. Hope everyone is healing well and goodluck to everyone on the pre-op side. this surgery has helped immedicately with my back, shoulder, and neck pains, it was really worth it, can't wait to go shopping!!! I look sooo much smaller now :) I have updated to new post op pics!

Good luck today hope all goes well. Im still waiting for my date but sure it won't be too long xx

Good luck today :) Soon you'll be waking up to the new girls! By the way, about post op bras, for me the best thing was and is an aah bra 2 sizes larger than my actual measurements. I got mine off ebay, from 2 different places. The pricier ones are very firm, too firm for comfort at the moment. I rather prefer the cheaper ones I got, at some £2.50 each. If you're not taping the scars as scar treatment, a piece of silk satin in the bra does wonders for the sensitivity.

Good luck with your surgery today. I will be going in in a couple of weeks for my consultation. Hopefully my insurance company will approve. I need this bad. I got approved by my last insurance company 2 years ago but chickened out a few weeks before surgery. I'm sure my new insurance company will approve as well since I'm a lot bigger now. Imagine how much they've grown in two years. Let us know how your surgery goes.
February 24, 2013
thank you and you will be here soon..no more chickening out..its not that bad..and is soo worth..imagine being in no more pain..looking forward to your surgery..good luck with everything!!
February 24, 2013
Thanks. Did you have to pay anything up front before your insurance company kicks in before your surgery or will you be billed later?
February 24, 2013
My surgery was covered 100% but because it was considered a "outpatient procedure" I only had to pay a $200 outpatient copay...but my surgeon and the hospital was all in my network (i work at the hospital too) ..but being in the network helps and pays at 100% ..i'm with Humana..Goodluck!
February 24, 2013
That's what I'm confused about. For outpatient procedures it's supposed to pay 70% but I don't know if it's before or after my deductible. If I send you a link explaining my policy do you think you.can help explain?
February 25, 2013
yea sure, ..i work in the insurance departmentat the hospital..so if your confused about something on your policy i would be happy to help you, but its sounds like to me that you have an deductible...which is a bit different from my policy, i dont have a deductible unless im a full inpatient, thats why i only had to just pay a copay, but i would be happy to help explain anything, you probably want to double check with your insurance company as well, but i do know that if you have a deductible the surgeons office could put you on a payment plan after the surgery is done and they require something down before your surgery date, but if you just have a copay, that would be due before the surgery date

Good luck with your surgery today . Please let us know you you are doing when you are up to it . Congrats to you !!!
