Took surgery tape off! Almost died.
Well what I thought would be an easy process ended being one of the worst moments I've experienced thus far, though this.
My last appointment was last week. I went in and they took off the surgery tape, cleaned my incisions and they put new tape back on. I was instructed at that visit that this week I should take off the tape at home and begin applying vitamin E oil twice a day to help disintegrated the inner stitches and of course to lessen the appearance of the incision scar.
I was ready for the task and was even advised to rub Vaseline on top of the tape to make it easy to come off. I went ahead and put Vaseline on them as soon as I woke up the morning of the task, and by night time they were loose enough that I could wiggle them off very easy. Once I got the tape off I cleaned off some of the residue and you can still see the marker so was very focused on looking at the cut while I rubbed off as much of the marker as I could. One moment I was absolutely fine, the next moment I became so Ill I thought I was going to pass out or worse die.. My body felt as though I was sucked into myself I got so dizzy and began hearing a buzz in both ears. I became so pale and broke out into a sweat that seemed like I just had been through a marathon... It was horrific!! My husband has been out of town for business but thankfully my sister was here to save me. She fanned me, gave me cold water, and a wet towel. I began throwing up so much. Once I finally did I felt a bit better but I looked as white as ghost and had chills for the next 20 min. I understand it was shock from looking at my cuts, but what is so weird is that I'm not a squeamish person and before the episode began my mind was on how great the line looked and the location it was in! I was happy not the opposite... I would have never thought that subconsciously my mind was about to play me a hard one. I have never even been sick by blood either. Well I have looked at them again since, cleaned them and haven't had any other problem.

16 days post BA!
Well it's been a little over two weeks since I got the girls and wow has it been an up and down roller-coaster of emotions. I'm ultimately happy I finale made the choice but wow people are not kidding about the pain. At moment's that's the only reason why I have questioned it... Why would I willingly put myself through something (pain) like this? Well... What's done is done! I just have to roll with it and I now see the light a little more. I feel much better, have more strength and the morning tightness isn't as bad either. I have a lot of pressure on the side of my boobs is that normal? Another thing I've been worried about is that the left boob has always been the most painful one the more swollen one as well but it is rounding and dropping much faster than that right one. The right seems to have never gotten swollen and now sits so much higher, I'm afraid it won't catch up?!? What do you ladies think? Off my pain meds but will continue taking a muscle relaxer before bed until I finish my prescription. As of last Tuesday I'm going braless during the day and only wearing a bra during sleep. I'm hoping my right boon drops and looks just like her sister because I love the way my left breast is looking!! Let me know what you think.
Day 6 with boobs!!
I love the way they feel today! Slightly softer and I'm still very happy with the size I went with!

So far the I've had great communication with my surgeon and office staff. Although he didn't ask for expectation pictures he was thorough and asked alot questions. Based on my want and anatomy he gave a good recommendation as to what I should go with which is a Memory shape implant but I decided to go a bit bigger if my anatomy allowed (according to him it did) at 375cc's with memory shape implant. 11.5 chest width.
