CANCELED MY SURGERY

Hi ladies, I am sorry to let you all especially those that wanted to see my result. I canceled my surgery for now. I won't get my deposit back but that's more than fair and dr. Reid and his stuffs have been amazing and understanding. Here is how I came to the decision: I was always nervous about the procedure but it really got to me when my 7 years old son and I were playing who loves who more. Me: I love u, son: no, I love u more. Me: no, I love you and would do anything for u. Son: mommy, I will die for, me: don't say that, I am ur mom and will die for u, u shouldn't die for me. Son: well if you die, I can't live anymore, I don't want to live without u, I will just have to kill myself. Right there, I froze and all I could think about it even slightly risking my life. I know the surgery is extremely safe but also not 100% guarantee and as much as I would love to have my breast lifted, my little one seems to be needing me more for now and not taking such risks makes me feel comfortable and ease at mind . Ladies, again sorry and wish you all a safe surgery and easy recovery, there won't be any regret for sure and I know you will enjoy the results to the fullest. My time will eventually come on day but I guess it wasn't now. Good luck to you all!!

I had those same fears as well. My BL/BA was the 1st elective thing I had ever done and at times I thought "what in the heck am I doing!" My bigger fear was narcosis! I just KNEW that was going to happen to me. I even mentioned to the doctor before I went back! But I just shoved it all into the back of my mind and went for it! But if doesn't feel right for you right now then you are making the right decision for you!

Thanks Henny. I can't stop thinking that something is going to wrong and I am signing for it. I saw so many reviews when people just know they are going to go and come back and nothing is going to go wrong, if I reached that point, then for sure it will be my time.

1 WEEK AWAY- NERVOUS WRECK

Texasmomof1
Hi All,
So I catch a cold on Tuesday and my pre-op was Wednesday, the nurse did not want me to get blood work done since I had a bit of fever,so the pre-op was rescheduled for this Monday which is only 5 days before the surgery, she reassured me it is ok and won't be too late. She just called to check how I am doing, bless her sweet heart, I am well by the way.OMG, I don't like the way I am feeling right now, I am such a mess emotionally. Hopefully by this time Friday, I will be on the other side safe and recovering. The surgery center and the anesthesiologist both called to collect their payments but I let them know I will pay after my Pre-op on Monday. I can barely sleep , focus at work and I keep having these weirds dreams about something going wrong. I will update after the pre/op. Does this happen to everyone?

I know it's really easy for me to sit here and tell you to stop freaking out--but stop freaking out! RELAX!! Although when my time gets closer I'll be the same! This is what you want right? I too am doing a lift without implants, so I'll be excited to see you afterwards!

Thank you Natalian, that already make me feel better. I know it will be ok, I guess it is just human nature to worry and i am the queen when it comes to worrying for nothing ,and yes I want this really bad and will go through with it. If I can do this, don't worry anyone can do it. Thx for the support and I will make sure to update.

MADE THE CASHIER CHECK TODAY!!

Texasmomof1
Since my PS is offering 10% discount on his fee if I pay cash, went to the bank to make the cashier check, oh boy !! once I give that check on Wednesday, there is no turning down. Up to now, I only paid 500 deposit and I could easily cancel...This is getting real, scaring,and exciting at the same time. Pre-op is Wednesday. Good luck to everyone out there having surgery soon.

Thank you so much. I was very apprehensive. Just keep telling yourself that you chose your PS for a reason and trust that he knows exactly what you are looking for. To give you an example, I thought going in for surgery that I was going to have a mod profile implant; size was the only item in question. When I came out, PS told me I got high profile implants because PS and team thought that the mod profile implant gave me too much side boob and I would be unhappy. PS only knew that bc of our conversation during pre op I said I didn't want too much side boob. Just make sure you tell your PS and staff your concerns and what you are looking for. They will listen :)

Can you tell me who your first consult was with? I'm planning on going to see Dr. Piazza too, I saw a picture of a lift he did and it looked great but I'm trying to see if I can find out anything about his personality/bedside manner, etc. Thanks, I can't wait to see your after pics!

My first consultation was with Piazza. When I went there, looks like most of his stuffs were on vacation and he was doing everything by himself, so I kind of felt rushed though he did his best ,But I got a call later that week from Haley if I wanted to come back to more detailed consultation ,looks like she does most of the things for dr. Piazza. Anyway, I just felt more connected to Dr. Reid and he is very reassuring. For example: I asked The three Dr. I am not going to die right? Dr. Piazza: that's my plan. Dr. Kerr: There will be all kind of Dr. Monitoring you so you are very safe( very good) dr. Reid: let me knock on the wood...these doctors have put my own mom to sleep, my stuffs and even my partner, you will be in the best hands possible( very good too ). I will tell you now though, Dr. Reid is the most expensive,follow by dr. Kerr and the piazza center is the least expensive. I definitely recommend going to all three, you never know, Dr. Rocco might be the one for you and you are right, I saw some of his lifts pictures that are very impressive, I would say the best even but I most importantly prefer feeling safe with my doctor to start with. Good luck!

Thank you Henny, it is actually funny because you have my wish boobs, I go from times to times to check your profile and I absolutely love your breast . I am not getting implants but if I was I was going with the same as you the 255 because I really don't want huge breast and yours just look perfect to me, believe me you don't have nothing to regret, your size is amazing and very natural looking.

Thank you for the kind words! I need to post an update. My left one still wants go all Madonna and come shaped from time to time and I have to shake it around! But I think it's actually because my boobs were somewhat tubular to begin with. And then I lost weight so I lost a lot of my natural tissue. Good luck to you!

October 31, 2013
Can't wait to see your update. You really did add a lot of breast tissue, I think we were similar, do you know if your PS remove a lot of your breast tissue during the surgery?

October 31, 2013
He didn't take any out as far as I know. I just started running and they shrunk! Ha! But I tend to go up and down in weight so I'm sure they will get bigger one day ;)

Thanks so much for the infos Henny!! Good thing about small implants and breast is that you don't need to worry about future sagging and you don't look top heavy or unnatural , Looking forward to your update photos.
