29 Years Old with 2 Kids - San Diego, CA

Well tomorrow is the big day. I can't believe this is really happening! I'm excited and a little nervous too. I know my PS will do an amazing job I'm just really not looking forward to the recovery part. My hubby took 2 weeks off so I hope that will be enough. I'll be curious how many cc's I end up with. I'm hoping for 550-650cc's.

What an experience! Everything went smoothly at the surgery center today. Last thing I remember was getting my anesthesia, trying to keep my eyes open and being out within minutes. I woke up in a lot of pain with a lot of pressure. They gave me pain meds which kicked in quickly. When I feel tightness in my chest I take 2-4 breaths. The first breath is always painful but after the 2nd to 3rd one it's actually quite relaxing. I feel like I should recover pretty nicely so long as I stay on top of my meds. I'm very happy with how quickly the Percocet kicks in.Funny and random story after my surgery. When I was ready to be discharged the nurse wheeled me outside to wait for my husband to come pick me up. As I was sitting there with the nurse a younger woman (maybe in her early 30's) comes up to me and asks if I'm ok. I responded saying "I'm doing ok, thanks." She then asks if she an give me a hug. Odd but I said "ok" thinking maybe she was someone involved in my care that I didn't see. Anyhow, she then gets in her car and as she drives by the nurse and I says out the window, "May the Lord be with you." At this point the nurse asks if I know who that woman was and I said "no". Haha. Very strange but sweet too.Back to my BA though... I ended up getting 590cc's ultra high profile on each side (due to my concave chest wall) and am thrilled! I have a follow up appointment on Friday and hope to snap a few shots of post some before/after pics.I'm feeling very drowsy and hope to sleep most of the day.Stay tuned for pics!

I am in an incredible amount of pain today. I'm taking my medication as directed but I feel really sore and tight around the outer edges of my breasts. Two more days until I go in to be seen for my first post op appt. I'm anxious to hear what the PS says.

I'm praying this pain dies down quickly though. I'm also starting to experience upper back pain which I assume is normal but the dr.'s office said to just have someone massage it and not use heat or ice.

My sleep schedule is going fairly well. I've set alarms to wake me for my pain meds and I'm so lucky to have my husband around to help out with our two little ones. I feel like all I've been doing is sleeping, eating and watching half of a tv show before crashing again. Haha.
