Surgery Tomorrow and Nervous!

I had my breast reduction done on August 6. I was really nervous about going under the anesthesia, but everything went very well! Because the surgery is not involving internal organs etc., they don't have to put you under real deep. I was told to come in at 12:45, and my surgery was scheduled for 2:45 and was scheduled for four hours. I live over 30 miles from the hospital so left early and got there around 11:45. Because my Dr's first surgery went over, I didn't get called in until around 3:30. At that point everything went fast to get me into surgery. I have small veins, so getting the IV in was an ordeal. Because I have a CPAP for sleep apnea that was diagnosed in June, the Dr thought I might have to stay overnight (didn't end up having to stay) which we were not expecting. Once I went into the operating room I was pretty comfortable, she put a mask over my face and that's all i remember lol. The surgery lasted four hours and he removed 820 grams from right breastfeeding and 962 grams from left breast. For insurance to cover the surgery, I needed a minimum of 819 grams removed from each breast, according to my BSA. The photos I have attached are from about 2 days post op. My Dr thought I was a great candidate for a no vertical scar breast reduction, so I don't have the scar from the areola to the under breast incision. I expected the scarring of course, kinda cool that he was able to avoid the one that I heard can be problematic. Healing has been uneventful so far....he doesn't use drains so told us to expect a lot of drainage for a day or two. I asked for a C cup or as small as he could go, he told my husband that he got me a D cup, because if he were to go smaller I would have have healing issues as it would be more into the nerves. So far size looks great. They're still quite swollen but once that goes down they will be perfect I think. Everyone talks about the big tummy after surgery, mine looked huge! I understand that tummy can swell after surgery, plus this fact that boobs aren't covering anymore. I'm pretty sure this is one of the best decisions I've made in my life! I should have done it years ago! So good those of you on the fence about this surgery, and how scary it is, it really is worth it!

I'm waiting to leave for the hospital! Getting more and more nervous! Thinking maybe I'm not that big, until I look at the before pics....just hoping things go ok and that I'll be home tonight in my own bed!

Good morning all,
I am scheduled for my breast reduction tomorrow, and I'm really starting to get nervous! I've wanted this for many years. I'm currently in a 40 I bra which is actually tight on me :( The reason I'm so nervous is for one, I'm afraid of going under general anesthesia, and I also have sleep apnea which was diagnosed in June (but I'm sure I've had it for years). I am doing my CPAP therapy but I understand that anesthesia can be a little more difficult for someone with Sleep Apnea.....I am having my surgery done at the University of Washington so I'm sure things will be fine. Have any of you had this surgery with Sleep Apnea? Any info that will ease my mind would be greatly appreciated!
