My Overall Experience Has Been Great

I am 36 years old, 5'2, and 135lbs. I have two kids tat are 8 and 12. I breast feed both children for 1 year each. I started out as a D/DD. When I Gave birth to my first child I went to an E. When I was done nursing I went back to a D and thing still look ok. Than I had my second child. I went for a D to an F. Not cool!!! Way too big!!! When I was done nursing I went back to my D, but my girls looked like socks with sand at the bottom just hanging from my chest. When I would sit down my boobs would almost touch my belly button. Every summer we would go on family vacation and I did want to go in the pool with my kids because my girls would always make an appearance while I was trying to play with my kids. For the better part of 7 years I have really wanted to get this done. Every women I met that has theirs done I would ask of their experience and how they felt about their doctor. For the last year My husband and I have been doing our research to find the best doctor for us. I am half black and also had a concern about keloiding. After many years of talking with women and seeing the work of many different doctors there was this one lady, that is a friend of the family, that I would keep referencing. I loved her scaring, how they looked on her body, most of all how they looked 10 years later. Her boobs were 10years old and they look amazing. I did go to 4 different what I call interviews with other doctors and I didn't really care for them. Dr. Pollack and I were on the same page from day one. His entire staff is so nice and welcoming.

So, this surgery is no joke. I was expecting to be down for a few days, but WOW. I was unprepared. I was down for the count for 7 days. Day 1 & 2 were very rough. days 2-5 I was super uncomfortable, but I didn't want to take any stronger medication. At 7 days I was able to move around more, but I was really tired. My son started school on my day 7 and I had to take him to school. I drove there than home and went back to sleep. I picked him up from school came home took my pain meds and went to sleep. That night I was in bed asleep by 7pm. I didn't realize how much I wouldn't be able to do. Lucky I did some prep crock pot meals a month earlier. so we had 10 nights worth of dinners.
When my husband and i took the day 2 pics I was a little worried because one is noticeably bigger than the other. During my pre opp the doctor and I talked about how one breast is slightly bigger than the other. To be honest I never realized one was bigger than the other until I started interviewing doctors. We both agreed to put the same size implants in both and the difference would be the same as it was before. So I will have faith that everything will work out in the end.
The skin on my breasts is very very tight. You know when you have had your bra on all day and all you wan to do is go home and take it off and let the girls hang? Thats what it felt like, but a little more intense.
All in all looks like everything is going according to plan. I am just tired of being in pain.

For some reason I old get my pics to download when I wrote my last review. These are pics of Day 2 post opp. You can see I can’t stand o straight and there is lots of swelling still. This was the day I went back for my post opp appointment. I was very happy with how he reassured me berthing was looking good.
