I went from a long and ropey 38DD to an average 36C. I have never looked back, and am so glad I had the surgery. My insurance paid for all but $300.

I had No pain! My surgeon administered a "block", sometime after
anethesia was started. It was some sort of injection on both sides of my ribcage. I never took any pain meds, it was amazing. I

I took one week off from work and followed the post op instructions very carefully.

One thing I havn't seen mentioned here is, dont be alarmed if your breasts are not perfectly round. Right after surgery they may appear oval. As you heal on the inside the breast will continue to reshape into a nice normal round shape. I was shocked how great my nipples looked, they had not looked like that since I was about 16.

I have very little scarring, none really that makes me upset.

Oh and yes.......the girls do like to peak out and say hello, it must have been the wine

Have a speed recovery and let us know how it goes.

Stay up there and fly around like a kite!

Pain meds are good and will help you heal and move about~

I have been thinking about you all day today and was hoping for an update

capt_noonie · 09-16-2009, 09:03 PM

Hey, you got the surgery faster than I expected! That's great! Here's to some cute perky 34C's!

MizMaRLeysMoM86 · 09-16-2009, 11:02 PM

ok i am gonna try this.. still pretty high right now.. notmuch pain though.. i went in at 540 in the morning to check in and they took my vitals.. got my IV at like 650.. they stuck me like 5 times 3 times on my left hand and twice on my right .. they said my veins were really small.. everytime they stuck me with teh baby needle though it hurt the worst bc they used a local anesthesia.. which felt like acid .. but i took it like a champ! Then the doctor came in and marked me and asked me what size I wanted...big needle came next..then came the happy juice lol my hubby gave me kisses right before that came, he said i kept laughing and saying " i am so happy im such a happy person, because im happy right now!" I dont remember that at all. He said the anesthesiologist kept laughing at me.

After that I guess they wheeled me to the OR .. I woke up which seemed like after 30 minutes.. which i know it wasnt.. and they said my name... i said "im done already?!" then my heart started up.. ive never been under before and they were telling me that my heart rate was extremely high and they would not put me in recovery until it came down.. that took about an hour or so and let me tell you , it sucked. I felt like i was having a heart attack and them talkin about around me wasnt helping calm me down. I fell asleep again and overheard them saying they had given me something to help calm it.

next i had to pee reallllllly bad.. had to use a bed pan .. never used one of those.. the nurse put one under me and let me tell you ... it buuuuuurned.. i did not know they cathed me while in surgery.. after i relieved myself she took me to recovery... FOR 2 hours!!!! Gotta love the military~ they wanted to get me the hell outta there. my husband came in after i first got down there and sat with me... i had to take 2 pain pills because it felt like my incisions were burning... they then told me once the pain went down i could go home. hubby dressed me... took a ride to the hospital guest lodging ( very painful , full of bumps ) and now im here.. been sleeping in a recliner, hubby has been waking me for pills when needed... i love him so much...

cant think of anything else.. bandages are wrapped tight.. i go back tomorrow at 1000 for a follow up.. wish me luck and thank you all for being so sweet and supportive... Gnite

So glad to hear that everything went well. You must be so excited that it is over and you won't have to deal with all the problems you were facing before surgery.

Best of luck and I will say a prayer for your speedy recovery.

dianethomas · 09-17-2009, 04:54 AM

Yeah, I remember them shuffling me out the door very quickly, too. I'd had my tubes tied exactly two weeks before, and apparently, I kept saying "I want to go home" while I was coming out of anesthesia, so they let me leave before I was really awake. I woke up as I was being helped into the car.
So I told my sister, who was my caregiver, not to listen to me if I did the same thing after my second surgery. I did, but they didn't let me go until I was fully awake.
I am so happy that your surgery went well, and you have a wonderful hubby to see to your needs. Get well quickly, so you can enjoy Hawaii a little more before you have to go back home.
Keep us updated.

LunasMomma · 09-17-2009, 09:54 AM

Congratulations on your new small boobies

!!!! I'm so glad that your hubby is taking good care of you. Very important to keep up with the pain pills, and it's hard to do that when you're on pain pills

Scientific studies show that the body heals faster when not in pain

Keep resting, and drink lots of water

Gentle hugs!!

itzzbarb · 09-17-2009, 11:30 AM

How are you today? Please take it easy. Glad your husband is taking such good care of you.

celstu1 · 09-17-2009, 12:14 PM

YAY!!!! I'm soooo glad for you that its done and went well! I really hope the recovery is not too bad and that you rested well last night! Let us know how you are doing today!
