WORTH IT
My scheduled surgery is March 1. I originally saw Dr Ayeni on Jan 31 and after a quick approval from OHIP, I was offered a prompt date due to vacation plans in April. Next appointment is Feb 14, where more details will be discussed: size, pics etc

Tomorrow is my pre op appt with the PS. Although nervous, I am very excited at the prospect of tank tops and swimming suits WITHOUT the bazookas hanging out. So a little about me: I am 38 years old, a mother to a four year old boy, weigh about 150lbs and 5"3. My current bra size is 36DD. I would love to be as small as the surgeon would approve. Ideally, no bigger than a C cup.
I recently made the decision to pursue BR surgery as I have constant neck and shoulder pain. I spend a great deal of time on massage therapy, acupuncture and the chiropractor's office. I have bad posture due to constantly hunching for years, in hopes not to attract attention from gawking onlookers. I have been big chested all my life and am looking for pain relief, a non frustrating dress shopping experience and the confidence to stand tall and walk down the street.

Welcome to the community. Keep us up to date on all of the plans and don't forget the pre and post op pictures.

Take care of yourself prior to surgery to make sure you are full of vitamins and eat your green leafy veggies. Try to remember that when you take pain meds they relax your digestive system and could cause constipation( even for those who are very REGULAR). Think about what you eat the prior week.
Congrats on setting the date for the surgery. It will make a difference in your life. I am still healing and it has already impacted me whereas my back is not bothering me.

Thank you for the great advice. I am now three days post surgery and managing the recovery quite well. I have not looked at my new friends yet but tomorrow is my appt with the doc so I am hoping to peak. How is your recovery coming along?

Surgery took place on March 1. I saw the surgeon before going into the OR and threatened to run away. She chuckled. My sugery lasted just over two hours. Apparently I had some low BP issues so I was held in recovery for over 4 hours. The nurse noticed my right breast was a little hard so she paged the surgeon to have a look. Dr Ayeni promptly showed up and put a drain in. She told me surgery went well and did the two thumbs up. I was worried about my BP as I was still being monitored for it.
Luckily, I had made prior arrangements to spend the night at Southlake Hospital. They finally took me to my room so I could rest. I was curious to see what the new girls look like but I don't have the stomach to check. It is now day three and I still haven't looked. The nurse who changed the dressing before being discharged did say the incisions did not look fresh and there wasn't much blood. I have to also commend Dr Ayeni for calling the hospital FOUR times to check on me. This lady is an Angel and was really concerned about my progress.
Tomorrow is my follow up appt with the doc and I'm hoping she removes the drain. I am still terrified to look at the girls but might peak tomorrow during the checkup.
