So I've been wanting a breast aug since I had my daughter quite some time ago. I scheduled a consultation 3 years ago and didn't go through with it. I had a consultation back in December with another doctor but he wasn't very personable and didn't provide much feedback and I didn't feel comfortable. I found Dr Leverret in April scheduled a consultation and booked my surgery a couple of days later. His staff was very friendly and he was extremely detailed and took his time to answer all my questions and concerns. He even had me try on sizers the same day. My procedure is two weeks away from today. Earlier in the week my emotions were all over the place. I even thought about calling to cancel. I've been feeling much better the past couple of days and I'm starting get excited again- but I still get butterflies from time. I just pray every thing goes well and he give me the boobs I've waited so long for.
Before breastfeeding I was a 36 D. After I'm a small 36 C. VS size I'm a 34D. I'm 5'6 & 170 pounds- I'm hoping to be 165 by my surgery date - I just came back from vacation and I'm trying to shed the few extra pounds I've gained. I've attached a few before pics.

So I had my pre-op appointment today. To achieve the look I desire the doctor suggested Style 20, smooth round, 600 cc slightly over-filled saline implants. I'm very nervous and excited. My BA is 10 days away. My PCP has cleared me for surgery, so now the count down begins...
My surgeons office suggested that I add a numbing shot by the name of exparel to my package. It's suppose to provide pain relief for up to 72 hours. Has anyone heard of this? Part of me wants to do it but another part isn't too sure. I was told only 25% of BA patients purchase it. Since I'm having my procedure done 4th of July weekend. I want to make sure I'm as comfortable as can be.
I also need suggestions on things to buy for post-op. So far all I've purchased is arnica pills because the surgeons office recommends. Do I really need a recliner or will pillows work? I also found out that he doesn't have his patients use a band and prefer not to wear a sports bra (unless I want nipple coverage & it has to be a loose one). He doesn't want you wearing anything that will push the implants up since the goal is to get them to DF.
If anyone has advise or suggestions I would great appreciate it!! OMG I have butterflies in my stomach.

A recliner works great. I slept on mine for 2 weeks now I'm sleeping in my bed with 3 to 4 pillows.

Thanks for the advice! I'm going to go look at recliners today or this weekend. Is yours a manual recliner or electronic?

Mine is electric. U would not be able to use the manual unless u have someone to help u with it.

My BA is one week from tomorrow and I must say I'm having a lot of anxiety every time I think about it. Last week I didn't sleep well and I even woke up in the middle of the night and told myself I was going to call the surgeon and cancel. Well I didn't... I told my surgeon about how I've been feeling and how I'm not sleeping during my pre-op on Monday. I was told this is normal and given something to take the night before my surgery. I just can't wait for this to be over. I'm already on an emotional roller coaster!!!
