!!! - Northbrook, IL

I've been talking about getting a BA since I was in my early 20's. Now that I'm turning 35, I finally had the nerves to do it. I knew it was a popular procedure, but knowing that I had to go under with general anesthesia, it kept me from making my final decision. I'm so happy that I finally did it. The day of surgery (397 cc, inframammary, submuscular), I admit I was nervous. BUT, as soon as the anesthesiologist injected some stuff in my IV, I was out. When I woke up, it felt like I just took a small nap. I told the nurse I was ready for surgery, but she said we were all done!! The pain was massive but it was manageable with 2 days of pain medication. I stopped taking them by day 3, but had limited mobility. Thank god for my fiance, who was a wonderful nurse, and my mother who traveled to Chicago to keep me company. I am now at Week 4: no more pain, just hyper sensitivity in my nipples. I just got the approval to work out again. They look great, swelling is down tremendously, and my incisions look great, as per the doctor.
