After benefitting from reading dozens and dozens of reviews and and taking advantage of the December forum I am ready to contribute to this fantastic site! I appreciate all the women who have shared their stories...their backgrounds, worries, successes AND PICTURES!! I feel prepared for my Dec 11th sx - BL with a silicone augmentation around 250cc and a full extended TT. My thoughts and feelings have really given way to excitement and I've almost put all the fears to bed! I hope that by sharing my experience I can normalize the whole process for someone else and assure a future reader that they are not alone in any of their thoughts, questions or curiosities. I have watched the number of reviews increase by over 500 since I began my research and I feel proud to now be a contributing member : )

Doing well ladies...thanks for your well wishes! Keeping the meds, water, and leg motions all on a schedule. You really can't be prepared for the level of discomfort that engulfs the entire torso, but I can already get out of chair by myself and have been doing a sort of hunched old man penguin waddle to the bathroom without assistance since I got home yesterday morning. I am very glad to have the toilet seat riser and I empty my drain while I'm there. If progression allows I will attempt a shower and pics tomorrow. Continued healing and rest for us all! Take care!

are you staying in a recliner or your bed?

I'm in a recliner about 15 steps from my bathroom. It's been a really good setup. My body hasn't told me to try laying down yet! :)
