Never Expected to Be Here - Washington DC, DC

Had always been a firm and perky 36B, and very satisfied, as was the hubby. Once when I put on about 15 lbs was a pleasant and curvaceous 36C. Have always been a bit asymmetrical - you know what they say, everyone has one side of the bod slightly smaller. But with the downward pull of that darned thing called gravity...Deflation City...the breasts began a permanent flat line. Suddenly found the need to wear padded bras for cleavage...then the right slightly smaller breast began a race in the wrong direction. As the age creeped up, I then had to resort to wearing an additional pad in my right cup for an even look. Stopped wearing tight sweaters, or anything that accentuated my breasts. I debated and debated...and finally after much more debating decided to move forward with a breast augmentation. C cup, maybe small D...Mentor silicone, round, moderate profile, subglandular, inframammary crease. My goal - to get as close to even as possible and slightly larger. Leaving the final size to my PS.

Pre-op done last week. Surgery with Dr Otero is today at 1pm. Need to arrive at the hospital by 11. Thanks for all of the pre-surgery tips...have pillows, wipes, zippered tops, Jell-O, fresh pineapple, peaches, Arnica Montana - pill and cream, Bromelain, 2nd zippered sports bra, hydrating the past week - tho always drink btwn 40-80 oz per day, Dr Bronner Tea Tree soap (anti-bacterial), hubs is retired so will be there to assist. Wish me Luck. Will post post-surgery :-)

So far so good...Saw my Dr..she's happy with results...as am I. Wanted them to look natural. I think we got there. After Dr appt, went to brunch with hubs and walked around a bit. I was told over the muscle is easier, and it is. Sleeping with a Bed Pillow and a pillow under my knees makes back sleeping a little easier, as I am a natural side sleeper.

So yesterday at the DR I found that I have 225 cc in Left Breast, and 300 in right breast. I am happy with the size, as I wasn't interested in going very large. Main goal was to get a close to an even size as possible. Having major nausea today...no real appetite. Slept most of the day. MIL suggested sour pickles to ease nausea...we shall see.. just ate two spears, and drank some Pellegrino water. Will try going for a walk tomorrow.
