31 and Finally Ready! Sacramento, CA

My surgery was yesterday morning, which was great since no food or even water was allowed after midnight the night before. I got really nervous when they were starting my IV and I fainted (not that unusual for me) and then cried and asked my fiancé if I was making a mistake. He and the anesthesiologist were wonderful. They each held one of my hands while the meds were being administered. My fiancé even put on a hair net to make me laugh. The surgery wasn't long, maybe an hour plus recovery. Yesterday I was extremely foggy. My vision was blurry and forming complete sentences was hard. Today is more uncomfortable because the local anesthesia has worn off. I took my first two doses of Norco/Hydrocodone yesterday, then cut that out and now I'm taking Valium, Tylenol, and an antibiotic. I had my first post op appointment today and they said everything looked good and gave me the ok to use ice packs, which really does help. When I sit up straight or stand up, the weight of the implants pushes down on the bottom of the pocket, and my boobs kinda look like they're trying to escape through my armpits, but the pain really isn't bad. Lots of muscle soreness but no sharp pain. My incisions were in my areolas and I don't feel any pain there at all. I was able to have a bowel movement today, thank goodness. I had weighed myself the night before surgery, then again on the same home scale after surgery, and I was up about 9 lbs! What the heck?! IV fluids, i guess. I've been drinking tons of water and trying to get the anesthesia flushed out of my body. I do have drains, which my sweet fiancé has to clean a few times a day for me, poor guy! Those will be removed tomorrow.

I just had my pre-op appointment this morning. I went in a little before 8:30, signed paperwork acknowledging risks, costs, etc. I met with one of the nurses, who was extremely nice and helpful. We talked about what I'm starting with--I wear a very padded 32C, vanity sized (Victoria's S), most likely closer to a small B--and what my goal is (natural looking fullness that won't be obviously fake). I brought some pictures of what I hope to look like, and based on that, the nurse had me try on 275, 300, 325, and 350 cc sizers. I probably should have taken pictures, but I went more by how they felt than how they looked. Gel sizers in a surgical bra are more droopy and pointy than my actual implants will be. I felt like the 275 was identical to what I have now, with a bra on. 300 was OK, but my fiancé and the nurse agreed I would wish I had gone bigger than that. 325 and 350 seemed almost identical, and I know there's only a couple tablespoons differentiating those two sizes. I'm leaning towards 325, which is what the nurse told me she has, but I'm thinking about 350. Everyone says to go bigger, and 325 seems like it's probably what I want, I'm just torn. I have until next Friday to think about it. The nurse said they need about three business days notice prior to surgeryif I change my mind in order to guarantee that they'll have the exact implants I want.

I've been looking at pictures of Olivia Munn and Kaley Cuoco. I don't want it to be obvious that I've gotten implants, so I'm trying to zero in on a realistic target.
