23 Yrs Old, and Tired of the Dreaded Double Padded Bra!!! - Toronto, ON

UPDATED FROM Sammic
1 day post

All done !!

WORTH IT$9,000
My surgery was yesterday at 12pm at the hospital instead of in the the private clinic , due to some health issues , I just felt safer there. Originally I assumed I wouldn't be as pampered and well taken care of as in the private clinic as hospitals see such a huge over turn of patients all day. Boy was I wrong , everyone at the day surgery clinic was amazing, so tentative and welcoming, Dr.E came and marked me up, he was very kind ans reassuring, funny and personable, I have had a few surgeries before ( non-elective) and I know first hand not all surgeons are such , it doesn't make them bad just down to business, a few minutes later the o.r nurse came to get me and I went to the operating room, they hooked me up and were very nice , I wasn't nervous at all . Before I knew it they were waking me up, I was wheeled into recovery where I had a Popsicle and some ginger ale ... Which I thew up, then continued to throw up constantly after that , bad reaction to the anesthetic, I felt great, minus the nausea whenever I went to move . It's not the next day and beside some discomfort I have yet to take any of the prescription pain killers I was prescribed , just the antibiotics . I don't like taking narcotics or any type and generally have a good pain tolerance so I was prepared to just take the pain meds before bed , but even last night I was surprising fine . I was like is this it ? My pain was like a 4/10, hardly even pain just some pressure . Today I started to feel some pain but still not enough for me to even think of taking them , I'll just have some extra strength Tylenol. I'm very surprised at how good I feel , I can get up and down on my own . Go to the washroom on my own , made some toast , got dressed. ( carefully) the only real discomfort is on the side of the ribs, and my back. But a heating pad and ice packs are working wonders. All in all , not regrets so far , Dr.E and the whole day surgery team were amazing , nice , tentative , reassuring and calming . I couldn't speak more highly of them all. I'm so excited to see how the progress !

Throughout this whole experience I have received such great care from Dr.E , his office staff (Louise especially , and also Heather) as well as the staff at Humber River Hospital were I had my procedure. I have had other surgeries and in hospital treatments numerous times before ( non-elective) and have been in the care of many Doctors and nurses and I have never felt so calm , reassured and well taken care of has I did through this whole process . Dr.E is amazing , and has a very warm and calming presence , and the nurses and staff in the day surgery department were nothing short of amazing , keeping a calm, caring environment, I had a lot of nausea well in the recovery , and they were amazing at making me feel better and never rushed me , as I know there are a lot of patients and limited room. There patients are definitly number 1. I had very minimal pain after surgery and it is the day after and still haven't touch my pain medication , just some discomfort in my back and tightness/ pressure is my chest , nothing some icing and a heating pan can't help. Dr.Edelstein works wonders and even though I am only 1 day post op, I would do it all again. I was apprehensive to have my surgery done in the hospital I stead of the private clinic as the clinic is probably a lot calmer , and less people and the hospital is quite busy, but because of health issues I have the hospital was a good choice for me , and I don't regret it for a minute , I don't think I could of been in better hand. It's still early but I am 100% satisfied with my choice and my decision to go with Dr. Edelstein , I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him and his staff for a second . Thank you Dr.E for such a pleasant experience and helping me receive the look I have always hoped for!!!!

Congratulations! I'm so happy it went well for you and you are feeling good! I had a very easy recovery as well and we are very lucky haha I hope things keep going this way! Keep updating! =)
I chose Dr. E as well! My surgery is on April 1st :)
That's so exciting ! My recovery so far has been a breeze , I hope it goes as well for you! What Cc's are you getting ?
I'm happy that your recovery is going so well!!! I actually feel a little bit relieved to hear that it doesn't have to be so bad. I chose 415cc.. I am a little nervous that they might be too big for me because I don't have a lot of breast tissue but I really liked how it looked with the sizers :) Which size did you end up picking?
My surgery is on the 2nd actually**
I loved the 415cc when I tried them on at my consult but at my pre-oo I decided on 445cc Hp , I went under the muscle so I lost some ccs, I also didn't have much breat tissue ,and I was worried recovery would be really hard , but honestly it's a little uncomfortable, iv only taken some tylonal once today when I had to go out to the store , other then that Dr.E must be a miracle worker. Are you having yours done in the clinic or hospital ?
Thats amazing :) :) I'm getting them done at the hospital as well. I can't believe it's happening so soon :)
Hey girl ! I hope your doing good! Let us know how your surgery went !!!
Hey :) Thanks for asking! My surgery went quite well. I was pretty nervous when I got to the operating room but I passed out as soon as they gave me the anaesthetic. When I woke up in the recovery room I was really nauseous but virtually had no pain which was amazing. When I got home, I was still really nauseous but didn't vomit.. :) But then I had REALLY bad back pain :( My poor parents set up my bed with a lot of pillows and then my dad had to lift me out of bed whenever I wanted to go to the washroom. I did take pain killers so that I could fall asleep. I feel quite good this morning :) My back still hurts and I feel some pressure on my chest but I thought I was going to be much worse!! So I really shouldn't complain. How are you doing???? :)
Yay! How are you feeling now??? Post pics :)

Bra question

My ps gave me a 34 D as my post op bra , and it's what they will put on me after surgery. The bra they gave me is a bit loose around the band , to accomidate swelling , i want to buy at least two more bras so I can switch between , well one is in the wash , I'm not sure what size to get . I'm getting 445cc , should I stick to the 34 D like the one my doctor gave me , or get a 32D ? And what about S,M,L ?? This is so confusing! My mind doesn't know how to shop for bras that need to actually fit !! Any help ladies ???

Honestly, I would ask your PS as he knows best :) But from my experience, the post op bra seemed huge before surgery, and fit perfectly after surgery. They know what they are doing. And if the band is too tight, it may not allow your implants to settle properly.
