So I am beginning my adventure to Boobendell! ...

So I am beginning my adventure to Boobendell! (Sorry, only lotr fans will understand that one.)I have such a long long time to wait but I'm so excited, I felt the need to start documenting. I have wanted a ba since I was a teen and never developed. I never thought I would actually go through with it though. My breasts were always perky and nicely shaped so I wasn't too worried about it...until breastfeeding!!! It was the most wonderful experience of my life. Nourishing my babies from
my own body was just so special and rewarding for me. That being said..my breasties are just so sad now. After wearing clothing all day, my nipples literally look like they're depressed! Any volume that I did have, got sucked out and deflated. So needless to say, I am feeling the urgency to feel happy when I look in the mirror while I'm still relatively young. I am sick and tired of looking in the mirror and getting that sick lump feeling in the pit of my stomach. Now, my consult appointment isn't until August 10th (my pre op will be done at the same appointment because I am travelling for my ba) and my surgery is booked for December 4th. Those dates seem so far away since I am just itching to get things rolling but I've waited this long so what's another few months right?! I have chosen to go with Dr. Pugash in Vancouver because he has the best and most reviews that I could find, and his before and after pics are amazing! I'm just wondering if I should set up another consult with another surgeon...just in case. I just don't know. It's a little trickier to organize since I live so far away. Anyways, I just want to say one more thing before I click "submit". I've been reading many many reviews on here and you ladies are just amazing! So supportive and nurturing. I think the best qualities of women are showcased here on this amazing site. I wish the world around me was more like this place. Women coming together like this...just beautiful. I probably wont have anything to post for a while except maybe some wish boobies. Love and healthy happy boobies to everyone!!

Worried about my condition:(
So..again I know I have so long to wait but it's hard not to obsess over. I am a bit worried about getting the go ahead from my gastroenterologist. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at the end of last summer. I do have to get a note from my poop doctor which I'm very nervous about. I haven't had a flare up since I was diagnosed and I am on medication daily. I'm worried that even if my doc does give me a green light, that I'll get a flare before my scheduled surgery or if I have to go on antibiotics before the surgery (don't know if that's a mandatory thing with all ps's) then that could cause me to flare. Ugghh. Another thing that could be problematic is getting constipated after surgery with all of the medication (I know, TMI). Anyone else have crohns or colitis?? I know there are women out there that have it much worse than me with one of those diseases and they get their BA's so I'm just hoping things will happen for me. I know I should be having positive thoughts and not these nasty negative ones but sometimes it's hard not to worry and freak out! Anyways....here are some wish pics to lighten the mood and get me thinking positively! Thanks for listening to my rant ladies. :)

I didn't start my antibiotics until after the surgery. Narcotic pain medicine can be constipating, plus the shock your body goes through having a surgery can kind of throw off things in that respect. I had to be off the pain meds for a few days before things returned to normal, I also took 2 laxatives per day starting the day after surgery.
April 14, 2015
starting the antibiotics after would be fine I think. If I flare after..not good but ill deal with it. If I flare before and have to cancel my surgery..that would be devastating. The laxative thing will probably be what ill have to do too. I don't think stool softeners do the trick against those heavy pain killers. Thanks a bunch for letting me know. I'm thinking more positively! I believe it is going to happen and it's going to be fine.

I could have taken more than two per day but I didn't want to have the opposite problem, so I kept it at two.
April 15, 2015
I dont struggle with either of those condtitions..but I will say this:
Don't worry too much and as long as you know what to be preemptive about..you can be proactive :')
My surgeon doesnt doantibiotics either before OR after surgery and he simply gives them via IV during..which is unheard of..but he has no infections in his patients..and no lawsuits..so he must be okay:-)
If those will tend to make you flare ask about the necessity-
Also..know going in that if you can AT ALL..get off the pain meds as soon as possible. Then you won't get constipated.
You will be totally fine!!
You are a momma and have given birth.
Given that...you are tough:-)
May 25, 2015
yes being proactive will be key I think. I'm going to have to make a list of questions for the surgeon's office..they are going to hate me! haha. I wish the IV thing was typical because I think taking them orally is what makes them hazardous for me. Thank you so much for the support!! And your right, pushing out babies is no joke.

I was diagnosed with colitis 13 yrs ago and as long as u follow ur docs instructions and take the best care of urself, u should be fine. Sorry you have such a long wait. I thought I had a 3 mon th waiting period just for a consult with the doc I wanted, but they called last week with an earlier appt so u never know. Let them know ud like to know if u can be on a waiting list for an earlier appt if someone cancels. That's what the lady at my Dr's office said. There's a waiting list for it! Good luck on ur journey

Well the reason I have to wait so long is because my husband and I own and run a fruit market that is open for half the year. We stay open until after Halloween and I will be travelling out of town (4ish hours) for the BA so I had to schedule it for November or later. Turned out they were pretty much booked up till then anyways. So I have to wait no matter what. Right now I'm focusing on august. That's my consult/pre op appointment, so I can look forward to that for now. Are you on a daily anti inflammatory for your colitis? If so did you stop taking during your surgery? Thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one out there. Good luck on your journey as well!! And congrats on your earlier appointment!!! yay!

I haven't taken any medication for it in years, probably need to go to doc soon. I probably would have needed to stop 2 weeks prior to surgery because my do tor gave me a 2 page list of medications not to take prior such as any type of antiinflammatory. The only meds I was actually allowed to take was Tylenol and that was it so I was even scared to take it, just to be safe...er!
July 31, 2015
Thank u ladies, for the feedback. I haven't been on here in a while since our fruit stand is open right now. Pretty freaking hectic. I would be scared to stop my anti inflammatory but if that's what I'll have to do, I'll do it. And I'm not dwelling on the colitis. I know that can make it worse.

Same as Lucky173, I didn't have to start my antibiotics until the day of the surgery... I don't have crohns or colitis, but I've had long term issues with chronic constipation so I understand your concern about the meds after the surgery. I tried to avoid laxatives, but I had to give in eventually. I stopped taking Percocet after two days, but by then I was already too backed up (lol sorry!). Anyway my doc recommended Senokot and lots of prune juice, which helped after taking it for two days. From my experience, the constipation and bloating was the worst part of the recovery - my stomach was more uncomfortable than my boobs!! Apparently anaestheisea and the fluids during surgery can cause lots of bloating, and of course the antibiotics mess with your body too. I had to take the antibiotics for 7 days. I felt a A LOT better within a few days of finishing them, but it took 2-3 weeks for my stomach to get back to completely normal. Oh, and I also got a yeast infection from the antibiotics! Lol... Sorry - I hope this doesn't make it sound too scary, it's really not... the results were totally worth the few days of tummy discomfort:) And on a positive note - I had little to no pain in my breasts (just lots of tightness). I think going in prepared is key - talk to your doc about what you can do to prevent or ease any issues you might have (he might change up your meds to suit you better too), know what to expect, eat well, and give yourself time to relax after surgery... You'll be just fine:)

Consult/pre op coming up soon!!
Well time has actually flown by. I thought it would crawl but my consult/pre op appointment is in just over a week! I still have a long ways to go but this is the first major step. Ahhh..so excited and nervous! Because I live 5 hours away, I want to make sure that I make the most out of this appointment. I'm scared that I will forget to ask something important or I'll pick the wrong size. I can't believe it's already here and come December I will have boobs! Well off to bed. Goodnight ladies. Happy boobs and sweet dreams to you all.

Wow, it really is going by fast! I guess business has been keeping you busy! I hope it goes well. I'm sure ur doc will cover everything and ull be able to try on sizers and take ur time with that so no worries. You have done ur research so u are already ready for this appointment! Good luck, can't wait for the next update!
July 31, 2015
Aww thank you. That makes me feel more confident and ready for this appointment! And yes the business has kept me very busy so no time to dwell or obsess which has made the time fly. I hope they let me stew over the sizers cause I'm such an indecisive person. Takes me at least half an hour to order at a new restaurant. Thanks for the encouragement!! Xoxo.
July 31, 2015
Lol well I'm sure they have a few different patient rooms. Remember to take pictures so u can look back when u get home too...with and without a shirt!
July 31, 2015
OK. I will need pics to show my husband too since he isn't able to come for the consult. Thanks! I'm sure I'll be able to change my mind and call them since I'll have four months til my surgery.
July 31, 2015
Oh yeah u can even go in to try on sizers again at no additional cost if ur unsure what size to get. They'll work with you, they want you to be happy
July 31, 2015
I booked by BA months in advance too - the time will definitely fly by! I tried on Sizers like 4 different times but since you live so far I would recommend bringing different styles of shirts to try on so you can get an idea of how they'll look in different outfits! Good luck!
August 1, 2015
