Goodbye Saggy Hello perky ( long )

Surgery 11-12-09
Had to be at surgical center at 10. We live an hour away so we left home at 8:30. Got there and all checked in. I was put in the preop room where there was a nice floor heater to keep me toasty. The nurse came in and gave me antinausea medicine to keep me from getting sick after the anesthesia. EVERYONE at his office was very caring and sweet. I could not have asked for a better group. I know I made the right choice in that practice.

About 45 minutes later Dr Morea came in and I went to get marked up and pictures taken. He informed me that he knew I wanted to be a D ( actually had just asked the nurse to see if I could be a DD) but I would probably come out a Big C little D due to the lift. He explained that too much weight would reduce the effectiveness of the lift. I was a little bummed but ok. He is the DR and knows best. I trust him so I agreed.

It wasnt but a few minutes the nurse and Nurse anesthesis(sp?) came in to take me to the OR. I kissed my DH bye...

The operating room was cold, but they gave me a nice warm blanket and strapped some blood circulation cuffs on my feet that felt very relaxing. We started talking and the next thing I know I was in the recovery room with the nurse asking if I was ok. I didnt have much pressure and was expecting to be in alot more pain.
She said I did great and I was gonna love my Boobs! She stated I had received 420 in the left and 400 in the right. My implants are Mentor 375 smooth round moderate profile. They brought my husband back and the nurse told him she was gonna make me comfortable since I had such a long ride home. She gave me morphine, took me to the bathroom to pee and get dressed. Gave DH instructions about medications and recovery noted. I slept the whole way home, pain free.

DH was very sweet and caring. He got me settled in the recliner, even helped me log in to JBI so I could make sure you all knew I was ok. He sent texts out to everyone when my surgery was finished. I could not have asked for a better partner or nurse. He went to the store to get me chicken noodle soup and applesauce. Came back and even fed it to me in my sleepy slumber. Dr Morea called to check on me and make sure I was doing ok. I woke up and he was making a little bed on the couch beside me..( awww) So I told him I would try to get in the bed so he didnt have to sleep there. He went and stacked pillows up to elevate my head and even found one for under my knees. Set his alarm for every 4 hours and woke up to give me meds. ( One time I even disputed that I had just taken one and he turned the light on and counted the pills twice to make sure)

It seems with every dose of meds I had to pee.

Woke up around 6 in a little worse pain. Laid there till my next dose of happiness at 7. DH helped me get up and get some breakfast and then helped me get my shower. We redressed my bandages and now I am tucked back in the recliner. DH has gone to exchange one of my sports bras that I got ( I took 2 different sizes) and get tires put on my car ( the day before surgery he discovered I had a screw in my tire).

Thanks to everyone who shared their stories and support during my process. You all made it so much easier but letting me be informed. I came to this board thinking implants were a one choice surgery- Silicone or saline- huhhh boy was I wrong. There were many decisions to make and it was a HUGE emotional roller coaster.

I wish I could have gone bigger- but am not going to be disappointed! Dr Morea did what he knew was best and they will be ALOT better than the saggy deflated B's I had.

I will add more to this as I progress. Going back to lala land now!

It sounds like you have an amazing DH! I read the part about him making a bed on the couch, and I thought it was so cute. Then he set his alarm to give you pain meds. Sounds like you caught a keeper. Big thanks to your wonderful DH!

MrsJbne · 11-14-2009, 03:17 PM

Tried to go to the skating rink with my son last night and just watch.... wasnt feeling to bad. As time went on- the pressure turned to pain. We started to leave and someone had busted out the passenger side window in DH's truck. He put me in the truck to stay warm and called the police. When we tried to leave I tried to shut the door and pulled a muscle or something in right breast. It throbbed all night. This morning it is better though. Today my neck is stiff and sore. Not sure if its because of the weight on the bra or sleeping elevated.....

Dh helped me take another shower and wash my hair. My daughter blowed it dry for me. It is hard to be so helpless, but nice to have a family to take care of you if you need it. They have all been great.

Pain is still controlled by medicine, but I can definately tell when its time for another one..I will keep you posted. Will also try and post pictures tonight

amermaidseyez · 11-14-2009, 04:22 PM

yahooo! congrats and have a healthy and speedy recovery...& thanks for sharing

Congratulations! Your DH sounds like such a sweetie! I hope your recovery is smooth and quick!

hm814 · 11-14-2009, 07:48 PM

Glad to hear surgery went well and you're so happy with your doctor! Sounds like a good one. Sorry about DH's truck. Hope the muscle pull is nothing more than minor irritant. Take it easy and heal soon!

MrsJbne · 11-16-2009, 03:23 PM

Last night I asked to not be woke up for pain meds and let me see how I do... I DID IT!! slept all night. But I did get a pill this morning. Morning boob sucks! They are so tight and heavy feeling. Seems like they harden up over night. I still have not had a bowel movement ( I know TMI) but..... its the whole story lol... My right boob has a little bruising now ( just showed up from nowhere) I started putting Bio oil on the girls today to help prevent stretch marks. Not on the incisions yet as I still have steri strips on. Would love to have a glimpse of what they will look like in the end.....
I go to the doctor tomorrow to have vein ablation done on my left leg then to the PS at 3..... will write more after that..

fromb2c · 11-17-2009, 11:42 AM

Great news!!! Glad you are doing well and that you have such a sweet, supportive hubby.

Sorry about the truck

Hopefully something good will come out of that.

Lots of hugs, good thoughts and prayers for you!!!
