Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

so my surgery was scheduled for 9/6. checked into the surgery center at 8am and everything went smoothly. the longer i waited the more nervous i got. but the time came and next thing i know, i was waking up in recovery. i wasn't expecting to be coughing so much. i sounded like an old smoker. that hacking cough. when i was spitting stuff out, it was blood. of course i was a little freaked out, but the nurse said it's normal since i was intubated. but the coughing was pretty bad. with the coughing and the pressure, i had some trouble breathing in recovery. but as the coughing subsided (with the help of a throat lozenge), the breathing was better. but i started feeling nauseas when i got up to use the bathroom so they gave me something. but on the drive home, i felt so nauseas, but luckily fell asleep. got home, took my antibiotic and went to try and sleep. the pain was not a "sharp" kind of pain, but more so just like an elephant was sitting on my chest. took my next painkiller at 5pm and it made me so loopy and nauseas that i made that my last pain killer. the discomfort of the surgery is manageable, but the nausea and loopiness was not. so i made it thru the first night without meds..hopefully i will make it thru another day/night without it as well.
this morning, woke up and now i know what everyone is referring to as "morning boob". man, the tightness and pressure! now after about an hour of being up and about, it's feeling a little better. but man, that morning book is no joke!
kind of annoyed that i thought my hubby was going to work from home today too, but come to find out this mroning as he was taking the kids to school,
he yelled up, "i'm going to try and pick them up today."
me: "huh? are you going to work?"
him: "yeah. so i'll try and pick them up tonight"
me: "WHAT? well...i CANNOT pick them up, so...you have to."
him: "ok fine..i WILL pick them up"
and with that..gone...left me seething. yes, my mom is here, but she can't really help and more than anything, it's been a bit stressful. after coming home from surgery yesterday, i just wnted to sleep. she would come in and wake me up just to ask me if i'm cold.. or come in and wake me up to ask if i'm ok. GEEEZ!!!
but guess the little pep talk my Dr gave my husband yesterday abotu treating me like a princess and doing everything for me went in one ear and out the next. HMMPH!!!

2 more days until surgery day!! i started taking colace today since i was told to start a few days before surgery, just to help get things going BEFORE everything starts backing up. but it made me feel nauseas. i THINK it's the colace, at least. i hope i'm not getting sick! anyways, i've been cleaning and organizing and trying to get everything settled before the big day. i'm SO thankful that my son's kindergarten after school program serves them hot lunch so that's 1 less lunch to pack everyday. i just have to pack up a morning snack everyday, so i got those brown bags all ready with a cereal bar or bag of mini muffins and those genius milk boxes that don't need refrigeration! i told my hubby that he just needs to put one in the backpack every morning for a week. as for my 2 yr old, his daycare doesn't provide lunch so i'll still need to get those ready, i'm thinking he's going to be having an awful lot of lunchables for a week. :|
we moved a chair & ottoman from my son's room into our room since it'll help me sleep upright a bit easier. i also pulled out my snoogle from when i was pregnant, maybe i can use that in some way. the chair looks super comfy...but i'm sure after a couple of days on that thing it won't prove to be as comfy as it looks right now! the kids keep wanting to sit in it cuz it just looks very cozy. :)
my mom will be coming over for the first week. she won't drive to daycare/school to drop off/ pick up the kids and doesn't cook, but at least she can help me if my little one wants to be carried. hopefully things will go smoothly and she won't cause my blood pressure to rise. *sigh*
instead of buying frozen veggies for ice packs, i made my own ice packs. they're more maleable than regular ice packs that freeze hard, i just hope they don't leak out of the ziploc. i also made my own ice pack covers for them so i hope they work! :) i purchased a few sleeveless button up pj sets with capri bottoms from walmart.com. they were only like $13 for a set! super comfortable! and with the weather so hot i think they should work out just fine!
i am anxious to get the surgery over with and get on my way recovery! of course still nervous and just don't feel like i have enough time to prepare...but....overall, BRING IT ON!!

i LOVE my PS's office!!! had my sizing appointment on friday and was still not sure - so they let me take home the samples to try out over the weekend & bring back on monday @ my pre-op appt. i've been wearing the 304's out and about these past 2 days and at times they don't seem that big - especially in pictures. then other times i'll catch a glimpse of myself and be like, "WHOA!!" i wish that getting implants was this easy --- instant results with ZERO pain! :) i have a feeling i'm going to have a hard time parting with these babies on monday...."whoops, sorry doc, i totally forgot to bring them back today! *wink wink*"
