My story is similiar to all the others. By the day before my surgery I was just so anxious for it to be over. I couldn't wait for the surgery. I'm in the north east, and we got a few inches of snow. The hospitial was over an hour away, so we had to leave an 4am to be there by 6am. I was definitely nervous about the anesthesia. After I was all checked in I waited in the pre-surgery area for my PS. It felt like forever. My husband was with me. I felt bad for him too! Finally my PS arrived and it was "ShowTime". He took some pics and marked me up. The anesthesiologist introduced himself to me. I told him that I just didn't want to wake up in pain. I kissed my hubby goodbye and they wheeled me into the OR. It was your typical OR...sterile and cold...but there was music playing and one of the nurses had a newspaper on the table. Everyone was nice and tried to make me feel comfortable. They small talked a bit. Then the Anest. put a nice cocktail in my IV and then put the mask on my face and I was out. The next thing I remember I was being woke up by a nurse and I was in some major pain! I had alot of pressure on my chest and I found it difficult to breathe. I told the nurse I was in pain and she gave me some demerol. Then I felt like I had to vomit so she gave me a shot of something in my butt. Then pain again...then the shot in my butt...Finally I said please no more demerol!! That definitely made me nauseous. The rest of my "recovery" was kind of upsetting. I thought for sure that I would be home by lunch time. But I had such bad nausea that I kept vomiting every time I sat up. So I had to stay the night in the hospitial. Not how I planned things..but what can ya do. The nurses took good care of me. I felt bad for my hubby because he had to go home alone! At some point that first night I did ask myself "what the heck did I do this for"!!?? I wasn't prepared for the pain. I have to admit that I do feel a little depressed. I will hopefully start feeling better and having less pain. I can't wait until I can just ENJOY my new BOOBIES!! I'm so glad I have my friends from JBI or I'd feel totally alone in this!

Congratulations on getting your new boobies, but I'm sorry it has been so miserable. Hopefully you will be feeling better real soon and can finally enjoy what you went through all that pain for!

NYchickie · 01-17-2008, 11:11 AM

Grlygrl,

I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience... get some rest and let us know how you are doing when you are up to it. Thinking of you

avbjessup · 01-17-2008, 11:21 AM

So sorry you had to experience the nausea and stay overnight in the hospital! I hope you are feeling better today. Rest and take care - you'll be up and out before you know it!

cantwait2bac · 01-17-2008, 11:25 AM

Hope your feeling better soon. Enjoy the down time & any pampering you can get. Can't wait to hear how they look, we are so close in stats, 6 days for me.
I know all about the nausea, from a previous surgery & told my PS to give me what ever it takes to keep that from happening.

Rest up!

T27 · 01-17-2008, 11:37 AM

I'm sorry you got so sick...I wish a great recovery and no more vomiting!!!!

Southmsgirl97 · 01-17-2008, 02:51 PM

I'm so sorry to hear you got sick! That has to be miserable with the pressure you already have on your chest you poor baby but keep your spirits up, it will get better and you'll be well endowed to boot! WoOOhoOO

Kissy Bekko · 01-17-2008, 03:12 PM

So sorry to hear that things didn't go as expected!! Try to keep your head up as each day moving forward will be better than the last and I am sure you will look wonderful!!

Just focus on a restful time for both your mind and your body as both have been through a lot!! Keep us posted when you can

Jennifer0625 · 01-17-2008, 03:18 PM

I am so sorry to hear about you getting so sick! I had a pretty rough recovery week, so I can tell you that it does get better everyday and in no time you will be enjoying it!! I hope you have a speedy recovery!

hairartistiam · 01-17-2008, 04:22 PM

I hope you start feeling better soon!! I'm sure you'll soon forget about all the pain when you can see the new girls!

CAINAZ · 01-17-2008, 05:12 PM

Oh hun, I am so sorry you've been so sick. Hang in there. Once you get all the drugs out of your system you'll feel better. You'll be loving your new girls soon. (((HUGS)))

wocky · 01-17-2008, 05:56 PM

Awww, I'm so sorry to hear about your rough recovery. Hopefully the worst is over, though. If you're still coping with nausea, ask your doc/nurse whether compazine in the anal suppository form would be right for you. Having had other non-plastic surgery procedures done in the past, I can *highly* recommend suppository compazine as being THE MOST effective anti-nausea med out there! It starts working almost immediately and lasts 12 hours!

Rest up, hon.

This will all be over soon!
