Just wanted to post a quick update as i found these very helpful to read over the past few months. Surgery was today- made a last minute request to do 397 mod plus and my doc was totally fine with it. Went in at 11:30
Am- and they took me back for prep right away. Every single person at the office was wonderful and made me feel very at ease. I was nervous for sure but knew I was in good hands. By 2:30 I was on the way home. Woke up groggy and thirsty with chest pressure. I'd say a 5 on a scale of 1-10. The hardest part for me was feeling short of breath but that went away in a couple hours. It's 10 PM now and I've taken 2 pain pills and 2 anti- nausea pills and overall I've felt fine. Didn't even nap, just chilled on the couch in front of the TV. They are super high and tight and all cozy in an ace bandage which I can't remove until Friday. So far my only advice would be to have some readily available mild food on hand. I really wasn't hungry but knew I would get nauseous if I took meds on an empty stomach. Also, make a little easy to reach "station" with your meds, remote, water etc. as reaching at angles is difficult. I normally love my couch as its really deep and cushy but getting myself off of it is a bit of a painful process lol. Will post more updates soon.

PreOp appointment today!
Super excited for my appointment today. I'm armed with my list of questions and pic of dream and nightmare boobs. Today I'd like to finalize the decision on profile- HP vs mod plus- as well as CCs. After spending a couple of months reading your stories and looking at pics I'm thinking I may want to bump to 375cc. Also, I want to get his opinion on when I can resume exercise. I've ordered a wedge pillow for sleeping and arinca tablets. Also, bought some tea to help with bloating and plan to spend the Sunday before surgery preparing some ready to eat meals. Countdown is ON!

How did your appointment go? What is your surgery date?
It went great! We decided on 371cc mod plus profile. I'm feeling really good about that. He gave me my prescriptions and post op instructions. I went ahead and bought 2 very unsexy post surgery bras lol. Jan 13th is the date!
Hahaha about the bras lol I scheduled for Jan 6 and I am getting really anxious! Got the very sexy bra too!

Which profile? Decisions decisions...
Just a quick update- my pre-op is on New Years Eve and I have my list of questions ready. Mostly related to which profile implant will give me the result I'm looking for. I'll have my wish pics on hand as well as pics of results I do NOT want. Hoping I can leave there feeling more assured. Also, I came into this thinking I would go with 300cc. My PS suggested 350- and after a month stalking this site on the daily I'm considering asking him if 375cc is doable. I don't anticipate having boobie greed but it seems like lots of girls do.

I have a consultation with Dr Castor right before NY! Can't wait to hear more about your consultation. Did you see any other surgeon?
Hi there- yes I saw Dr Halpern and Dr Reiger. I liked them both too but ultimately felt Dr Castor was the one. I'll definitely post an update after my pre op on NYE! Good luck!
Thank you for your response! From my research I feel like he is the one too. I am considering BA and possibly lipo of abdomen-very nervous though...
