Hello! Congrats on your upcoming surgery!! Just a few more days! I made sure to have all my deep cleaning done in advance! A neck pillow is great, a recliner to sleep in also helps make sleeping more comfortable and easier to get up without using your arms. I also used a heating pad on my back, and lots of regular pillows and small ones for propping up my arms. I over did it with my first surgery with supplies I didn't need, but I found a probiotic to be helpful(for the antibiotics) and something to prevent that 3-5 day constipation period(this sucks!) sooner You can get off the pain meds the better for this reason. Also somyou sort of a notebook to track down when you took your meds is helpful. Other than that, Netflix, magazines whatever entertains you will also be nice to have on hand.

Good luck!!

Thank you so much for replying. I have read so many different things to have on hand after surgery and some of it really does seem like over kill. I did get most of my cleaning done this past weekend. I already have my scripts, constipation stuff, recliner, heating pad and I do think I have some probiotic (which I never thought of) so thank you. I think I'm good to go for the most part. Going to be a long next couple days. Thanks again!!

Hi. I am new to this site and this is one of a few reviews that I found with Dr. Colque. I am thinking about going to Dr. Colque for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Can you post an update on how your augmentation went? How are you? How are your results?

YIKES!!!!!! It's getting real now.

Well, can't believe how close the special day is. The procedure is paid 100% in full, thanks to some help from my very supportive fiance. We received my prescriptions and were able to talk to Dr. Colque one more time to double check on all the final decisions. I will be getting Allergan Natrelle Silicone Moderate Plus Profile, 500-600cc. Dr Colque is ordering 3 different sized implants for my surgery. I have given a wish picture to Dr. Colque which he will have in the surgery room with us, and at the insert of the implant he will decide what implant size will get me the closest to my wish picture. I trust him very much and I'm very comfortable with letting him decide the final cc size. WOW!!!! I still can't believe this is really happening.

So my surgery is on a Thursday and I'm going back to work the following Weds. I have a desk job so I think I will be fine. I have only told three people I'm having this done, which are my fiance, daughter and my son. I really don't now how to bring it up to people. I don't want people to think I'm trying to hide it, I just don't know how to bring the subject up in a regular conversation. I was thinking of just waiting til its done and over and then if someone asks at that point I will cross that bridge. I don't know if that's the best way, but I think that's how I'm going to deal with it. Well I guess that's all I have to say for today. Good bye for now!!!

Mentor vs Allergan.......?????

lilcritter
I have read some articles about the differences in mentor vs allergan implants. But I'm hoping that some of you ladies could chime in on some suggestions. My Dr typically uses Allergan implants, from what I have read there are not a lot of differences. I have quite a bit of breast tissue already and I'm going under the muscle, so I'm really hoping that being able to see rippling will not be a problem for me. I have a larger body frame in general so the implants I go with will have to be the more wide profile, but I still want fullness & cleavage on top and projection. Just trying to get any info or suggestions. Thank you so much ladies.
