Hey everyone,

Thanks for all of your msgs and support. I'm still in a little pain and discomfort, so I won't write long. I got some before and afters to post, and will also make a yahoo group once I'm feeling better in a couple of days. I won't write too much now (arms are prettys sore) and excited to get back to laying down (although getting up SUCKS worse than expected).

I got to the hospital yesterday at 6am, the BF and me left around 4am and encountered much more traffic than we expected. I was so worried we'd get there late, and they'd be like TURN AROUND. Anyway, I took the celebrex and a valium (just in case I got nervous, although at the time it was all happening so fast and I was just 100% excited!!).
Car ride down I was still full on anxiety and excitement, me and the BF were both anxious and kind of getting scared. I felt bad, I was a little tired (we both only probably got an hour of sleep that night before due to the excitement and how much we wanted to make sure everythng was in order) so we kind of were at each other's throats. And he accidentally spilled a soda getting so worried we'd be late all over his car because he wanted so bad to get me there early (also spilled it on my pants lol), but the valium had kicked in by then too much for me to care haha, and he did a good job cleaning it up lol).

Anyway, we got there at 6 (on time - yay hehe). I'll save most of the specifics of the surgery for my story (I finally have a story!). I wasn't feeling much of anything due to that valium, I don't think it really hit me I was finally getting done. Kind of disappointed because I thought I'd be much more excited...but that was due to the drug cocktails I'm sure (anyone else notice that?). Anyway, the PS came back and my BF was cracking jokes which helped make me laugh about him getting to do to the incisions lol. THe PS drew on me and went over some stuff with the BF which the PS said I'd forget. I don't think we even talked about size, and I was too doped up to really notice (well maybe we did and I just don't remember lol). I also remember thinking how bad I probably looked with messy unstraightened hair and no make up lol.

Anyway, he told my BF I'd be done in a hour. My BF said my surgery lasted 2 hours and he was getting worried and he called back and they said it was all going OK. Afterwards, the PS called him and told him everything went perfect and I'll be very happy. I felt bad bc I knew there was a girl going after me, so I think he got set behind so I didn't get to see my PS at all afterwards. I woke up in A LOT Of pain, and they gave me more meds. I told them to take me to recovery room #2. Slept there for awhile, and was still in a lot of pain. They hadn't put my special sports bra on yet, so I looked down under my gown and due to being laid down I guess, being doped up, and also them being up high yet, I was like "OMG why are they the same size lol, I knew I should've gotten bigger". Looking back, that's impossible for them to be the same size, as anything in them would make them bigger, but hey it was the meds lol. Then the nurse came in who I didn't know and put the bra on. Later, the nurse who got me ready came past and said I looked GREAT. Anyway, I was excited to get back to the next final recovery room to eat a lil, have some ginger ale, and also get dressed to see how they really look, and also for my bf to see. I got taken to the final recovery room a little early even though I was still in pain because I just couldn't wait to get home. In the last recovery room, I got dressed, so the nurse went back to get my BF. He came back with this HUGE teddy bear and gave me a big kiss and said I looked beautiful. Then I had some snacks and I was wheelchaired out.

THe first thing I did when I got home was run (ok well limp) to the full length mirror and unzip my bra. THey are HUGE and sitting like one finger below my collar bone, so I'm assuming once they drop they will get bigger. I was sore all day, and am feeling much better today, although still sore and really tight. But they look great, the incision is right at the crease.

Anyway, yesterday I loved getting pampered. The BF made sure I got all my pills when needed, and went out to get a thermometer to monitor me, and also came back with an awesome neck pillow to help me sleep. Last night I just woke up around 2am to get some more Vicodin. Anyway, I am doing OK. Can't wait to get more pics to see what everyone thinks.

Only 2 worries if anyone has time. I switched to my extra bra last night (I spilled some strawberry frozen pop on it and got scared it might hurt something lol). And noticed some dry blood on my right side by my incision. Hospital just called and said that's fine, normal, as long as it doesn't happen again. Only other thing is I am kind of itchy around my boobs and a little on my stomach. I asked the hosptial and she told me to call my PS office. Nurse there didn't make a big deal and said my PS is doing surgeries today but she will definitely mention it to him and he always calls his patients from the day before today anyway. So, I might just need some benadryl. I dont have any rash or redness so I guess I'm okay!

Sorry, I typed more than I should. I will definitely make sure to post the whole story about all that happended soon when I'm not as sore to give all the details, and also get pics up here and in my Yahoo group later. So far, I am happy I stuck with 425cc, if that's what my PS still gave me. They are definitely the perfect size right now, and they are still REALLY high and tight and hard, so I'm sure they'll get bigger. THe PS said I don't need to massage so far, and he'll let me know next week, or at least that's what he told my BF.

Anyway, thanks EVERYONE! *hugs*. Kind of disappointed it's over already. All that excitement and the Valium wiped me out when it was finally happening. Anyone else feel like that? But so far I am SO happy with the additions and the pain is totally worth it!

alleycat1 · 08-06-2008, 06:14 PM

Thanks everyone! I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow when I'm not as groggy. I'll also try to get a Yahoo group up. I'll get to finally take this bra off tonight, the PS said I can shower tonight. So excited to see them as a whole. He just called to see how I am doing, which I appreciated. He told me to take some benadryl for the itching. And told me not to worry about the brown spot on the first bra because it was probably just antiseptic. He also said I can put some gauze where the bra is so tight...

Anyways, thanks! I'll post my *whole* story tomorrow...a much better one I promise. I just wanted to let everyone know I was doing OK and the surgery was a success! I am SO happy...the pain is way worth it!
