Hello RS users!
Like many of you, I've been surfing on this website for a long time. BA is something I've always wanted to do. I waited till my kids are 3 and 5 (finally!) and see how they left me with saggy boobs.
I've been debating whether or not I should do it. You know, there will be more operations down the road; will I need to worry about more surgeries/health issue...etc. To be honest, what made me go ahead is when I bend over and really looked at my boobs.... I just can't stand them anymore! I cannot proudly say I love my body the way they are with my boobs like that. I just can't. They really hurt my eyes(and heart).
So I had my first consultation in Oct 2015 with Dr. Pugash. He wasn't entirely friendly but very straight to the point. He answered all my questions before I asked him anything; he certainly knew what he was talking about. Because I have read some review about him and kind of expect that. I trusted my guts (and his expertise) and decided to go with him.
After almost 1.5 year I finally took the plunge. With deposit paid and full amount due soon, my surgery is scheduled on Feb 17 this year. I'm excited now.

19 days pre
double checked
When I was at my pre-op appointment, Dr P advised me not to read any more reviews of people who have similar stats with me. He said that would make me second-guess my decision.
So I went home and never came on to RS website again.
Yeah right. How could anyone not to read any review after they just PAID IN FULL? So I kept on surfing on RS to basically calm my nerve and rationalize my decision.
Then I came across a girl with similar size implants complained they are too small. And I saw her after-photo; they do appear small. All of a suddenly I panicked and wanted to try on the sizer again. Then I called Simone, Dr. P's assistant to book appointment with her.
I tried on the 300cc sizer and were truly sure this is NOT the size I want. My original decision was right!
Anyone of you have second guess about your decision?
I have 2 weeks left to get my pre-op and post op stuff ready. Any suggestions/hacks/links that you would kindly share?

Day of treatment
Made it to the other side!
So today is the OR day!
My surgery was scheduled at 2pm. I was told not to eat after midnight and only clear-fluid till 8am. I obeyed it religiously. In the morning when i was getting kids ready for school, i had to constantly told myself "no food! No drink". I even made up a song for that lol.
I arrived the surgery centre at 12pm. The receptionist immediately knew who I was. I was the only one in the wait area. Phew. I was expecting to walk through a crowd.
A nurse, Dr Pugash and the anesthesiologist came talk to me individually to make sure I'm okayed to proceed.
Then, I enter the surgery room. Everyone was nice and friendly. As I lied on the surgical bed, i made the request to the anesthesiologist: it would be nice if you could sing to me.
He laughed and hesitantly said: I only do that on christmas party lol
The next thing I remember is that I woke up in the recovery room. I heard someone calling my name and asked me if i feel ok. I could answer the questions but still high i think. At that moment I was so happy that Im still alive! Also very eager to hold someone's hand--human flesh please. Well, the nurse said no and went back to her paper work. So rude :(
Since no one took me seriously, i decided to doze off again. My legs were trembling.
After a while, Dr Pugash came to check on me. I firmly shook his hand and noticed that i have a tear came down on my face. How dramatic.
The nurse gave anti-nausea drug I guess. I dozed off again (but can still hear the chatter) and woke up.
I was incredibly calm and can walk to the bathroom by myself. The nurse was surprised. No pain just a bit pressure.
I brought a pillow in the car so it's. Not bad on the way home.
I ate some congee and pineapples, took my med and icing on my bed. Like a queen.
