From 32A to 383cc silicone. Post op day 7- new pics!

Surgery day came and I wasn't as nervous as I thought I was going to be. I woke up a little on edge but was able to quickly knock that feeling out of my head and get my day on. My surgery wasn't schedule until 1pm and I was worried about not having it early in the morning like I had originally thought it would be.
I packed and headed to my parents house where I would be staying post-op. Took the b est shower I have taken in my life using my antibacterial soap and put on my nausea patch (the fear of nausea was greater than the thought of pain, so weird). Left my house at 1145 and arrived at the surgery center by 1215. The check in process was quick and they called me back to the pre-op area by about 1245. I hugged my parents (later i found out family can go back in the pre-op area) and the nurse directed me to my pre-op gurney. I changed into the gown and answered some questions- the nurse was amazing, very sweet and understanding. She inserted my IV and started my IV solution. The wait in pre-op was longer than I had anticipated as my surgeon got tied up in surgery (but I was okay with it, because I certainly would not want him rushing to finish mine to get to the next patient, even though i know he never would). I started to get nervous when I saw a young lady directly across from me crying and saying how nervous she was for surgery! Luckily, her doctor came over to speak with her and I learned that she was undergoing a back surgery and not a boob surgery (pheeew)
When i get nervous, like alot of people, I have to pee..so bad! So the wait was not helping matters and I was getting antsy. Just as I sat up in the bed to ask my nurse to use the restroom, Dr. Hardesty came around the corner with his bright smile and I felt so relieved! He gave me a hug and went over my pre-op pictures and I gave him my boobspiration pics and he drew the lines on me with his marker! He then prayed with me and reassured me that I would be happy with my results. After this, the anesthesiologist came and spoke with me regarding what his role in surgery was and asked me questions. Because I knew surgery was quickly approaching, I must have looked nervous because he asked me "are you getting nervous" and i said "yes, now I am." Right before I got wheeled to the operation he gave me relaxing medications Versed and Fentanyl and WOW that stuff works crazy good. I then remember them moving into operating room and the anesthesiologist put a mask on me and told me to breathe this in. Next thing I know I woke up in the post-op room.
I woke up to the nurse saying "youre waking up..surgery went great. are you in any pain?" The only thing I felt was pressure and it was not horrible at all. But I dont know why, I just said yes. I was given Dilaudid and then I was good to go. They went over all of the post op discharge instructions with my mom and two nurses got me dressed and wheeled me to my car. I remember thinking, "I can't believe I went through with this, but I'm so glad I did!"

Today marks my one week post op and I can not stress enough how great of a decision this was for me! Nothing feels greater than sticking to your guns, even after facing opposition from friends/family, and being more than happy with your results! Its like a great sigh of relief! There was always the thought in the back of my mind that I would possibly regret my decision to get breast implants and have to live with the " i told you so's"

I haven't posted in awhile because on top of recovering from the surgery I came down with a sore throat and overall that getting sick feeling. I got worried and messaged my amazing Dr.'s physician assistant just in case I would need to be placed on additional antibiotics but she said that sometimes after surgery it isnt always uncommon for us to pick up a sore throat or virus while our bodies are recovering. Luckily, she was right and I am feeling much better already. I unfortunately did not start taking my multivitamins and vitamin c 2 weeks ahead of surgery like I should have =/ I would stress to everyone reading this to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS AND EXERCISE so that you are in your best physical condition prior to surgery.
I had my one week post op appointment and everything is looking good =) They are starting to drop nicely but the chest tightness is still very much there which is totally normal. Massages are very important and I must admit that they are not my favorite thing in the world to do! I also got the laser hair removal from my PS office for my armpits and it was quick and pretty much painless! I can not wait to not have to shave my armpits =) Can't wait until I am able to see the final results of everything!!

Hello all! Before I start off I must thank you all for the amazing support I received just by hearing all of your stories- many of you have replied to my questions and have made me feel at ease when I started to get those REALLY cold feet. My surgery was on Monday but the journey is not over and I would like to keep updates coming for all those needing the support like I did going through this exciting, but nervewracking time. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you may have!
Let me begin with my stats. I am 5'7 125 lbs and went with the 383cc's gummy-bear silicone high profile implants. From the moment I hit 18 I have had my heart set on receiving a pair of these beauties! But like so many things in my life I thought that I should hold off on making any quick decision until I was absolutely positive. Well, years went by and the desire to get implants were not going to go away anytime soon. So..I made two consultations and during the first one I was set! I like to shop around for options regarding everything and anything but in this scenario (a very important one), I almost had the same feeling as I did when i met my husband! i just knew he was it! Have any of you felt that way with your plastic surgeon? It's such a relief when you are able to get that off of your chest. Speaking of taking a load of your chest, did I mention that I used to wear two push up bras with bra inserts in highschool. And why I did this overnight I will never know. A group of guys quickly noticed my increase in size and then I felt like I was going to have to do this stuffing for the rest of highschool or look like an idiot! Luckily, i started to not care as much about what people thought and during my junior year I came to school as flat chested as could b! Ladies, you can still be beautiful without implants but what an amazing opportunity that we have available to us!
