allergic to the antibiotics they put into my IV =(

Went to the doctor today and showed him my rashes and blotchy skin all over the bottom part of my body. He said he thinks I'm allergic to the original antibiotics. He gave me a Medipak ( steroids ) to calm down my rash. He said it will take 2 weeks to go away completely. Took a first look at my boobies. Stats: 5'9" 143 lbs before BA 34a after:? don't know but looks like a DD. I have 545cc Silicon unders on both. They are riding high but, look pretty good =).

itchy skin

my skin started to itch last night- didn't feel it was a big deal but, then the skin got blotchy and felt really itchy. The nurses office told me to stop the nausea and muscle relaxant and just to use the pain killers. I could be allergic to one of the medications.
I hope I'm not allergic to the Percocet - I would hate to have to switch to over the counter medications.
Other than that - its been pretty good. I've been eating tons of food - yesterday and today. I can move my arms pretty easily. When I lay down I feel no pain or discomfort at all - only when I get up at first do I feel achey. The gravity on my new boobies must be what causes it. Tomorrow is my first PO appointment - then I get to shower (yay!) I will take pictures then.

Just had my BA done this morning at 8:15. What a great support staff Dr. Pousti has! Very kind and knowledgeable - all of them. When Dr. Pousti came in he reassured me of what a great outcome I will have, marked me up, and made sure he understood exactly what I wanted and discussed the pics I gave him. I wanted to have him decide the implant profile and the ccs because he did say that once he goes in there and puts the sizers in - that will determine which one he would use. The only I mentioned regarding size is that I would like to be around a D. Everything else I left up to him.
Went to the OR - zonked out within a minute and woke up in the recovery room - it seemed like an instant. Felt good - the recovery nurse was very kind...stayed there I think about an hour. Took a percocet and she wheeled me out to the car.
Ate a bowl of soup when I got home and some veggie chips then took the nausea and muscle relaxant medications....kinda drifted off to sleep watching something...I don't remember.
My chest has just a little discomfort and absolutely no nausea. All the core work I've been doing at the gym has helped get from an inclined to upright position pretty easily. I don't even need any help doing it....so far so good. I'll post tomorrow - there were some reviews that some people felt more pain on the second day. I hope that isn't me =)

I referred to Dr. Pousti by my best friend - her surgery was done about 5 years ago by Dr. Pousti - her boobs are gorgeous so of course I had to do a consult with him. I research him to death - the more I found out the more impressed with all his credentials, his reviews by patients were outstanding, and the quality work of the augmentations he put up on his website were amazing. I already made up my mind to have him to do my surgery....his kindness and demeanor were a big added plus.
