I wasn't sure about writing a review, but after considering that fact that I have read over 100 reviews on here, had many questions answered through others experiences, I decided to contribute.
I am 30 years old. I have 4 beautiful daughters (7,5,4,2) all born by c-section. Two of my c-sections were emergency sections, they were rushed and not much care was taken to my abdominal muscle, incision site or the stretching of my skin when getting baby out. I'm very thankful it wasn't, but it left me with body damage afterwards including diastasis recti 4 finger width apart that will not return to normal.
My stats: I am 5'5" -155lbs - muscular. I wear a size 8 dress size.
My surgery is in 4 days. I am getting 475cc silicone HP implants- submuscular. After 3 months- when they have dropped and fluffed I will have a periarerolar lift if I am not satisfied with the position of my nipple.
I am also having a full TT.

I'm not sure if I'm nervous yet. Trying not to be. Love all of your ladies reviews.

I'm about 30 hours away from surgery and everything I should have prepared before hand is running through my head. I have been reading this site for a year, I have read the preparations of so many of you fabulous women, and now I'm lost. No idea what to pack, what to have for after.

The one thing I did receive in the mail today is my Brilliant Contours post surgical Dragonfly bra. I researched the best post surgical front zip compression bras and over and over again these were rated number 1. It was slightly expensive given I live in Canada, but every review says I was worth it. Plus, the assistance and care in helping you get the right size and fit for your needs was great. It came beautifully packaged with a hand written note, and it's amazingly soft.

But ladies help me out, what else do I need?
My nest, laxatives of some sort. What did you wear post surgery leaving the hospital?

I made it. It was a long day and that first little while post surgery really sucks!
I got to the hospital around 6:00am changed into my beautiful gown and headed to my spot in day surgery. My nurse took my stats and vitals and tried to start and IV .. Failed attempt. So another nurse came over to try. For the first time ever I FAINTED.. TWICE. Fainting is the strangest thing, it's like falling directly into a dream. I woke up confused thinking my surgery was over. My poor husband was just a worried mess and the day hadn't even started.
As soon as they got me feeling well enough the anesthesiast came in to chat. Followed by my PS to mark me up. He reminded me I will need a crescent lift on my nipples but he won't do it till 3 months post op to be sure he gets them in the perfect spot. He said I may not completely love my boobs till then. I got 475cc HP silicon unders. My starting breast size was 34C.
Off to surgery i went and the next thing I know I'm in recovery. I guess i was there for an hour, i slept the whole time. Then into my spot at day surgery for a few hours. My husband saw me there but i don't remember i have a hard time staying awake after general anesthesia. They gave me morphine and let me sleep for four or so hours. Then they had me up walking.
I had 4 Csections prior to this and the pain was different. It's more at the top of the waist from the abdominal sutures and oh hell the ladies hurt something fierce.
My surgery is 4 hours from where I live so we spent the night in a hotel.things were tough until my first dose of pain meds wore off. Now i can go pee, empty my drains all by myself.
That brings me to now. I've been hiked up in bed for about 12 hours now. I'm feeling well and slightly drugged hope this makes sense.
Happy bellies and boobs!

Thank you! It feels good to have it finished. I say the word good lightly. I'm doing well. Getting plenty of rest and moving around just enough not to tire myself out. The anaesthesia js such an unpredictable thing but you'll do great! September will come so quickly!
