No eloquence to be had

im ok i feel like im going to barf everything hurts


the end

Good Morning!

Well, I am less than 2 hours away from operation. I'm definitely a bit nervous, but for the most part I feel good and am ready to go. I'm having a little trouble getting Brad out of bed, but I imagine that once I'm through with this it won't be too hard to get him up and going. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to eat last night (too much running around) and I saved it for the last minute. Low and behold my time had passed. Oh well, it won't kill me. Anyway, wish me luck! Bring on the funbags!

Getting ready

Yesterday Brad and I went on what seemed to be a scavenger hunt! I have all of these lists. Things to buy, things to do! It's keeping me busy. I have to say, it is near impossible to find a 34 D bra. Seriously. We looked at Ross, WalMart and Target, finally finding one at Target. Mind you, I was looking for no underwire and had to settle with just cutting the underwire out of one. I got a comfortable zip up shirt to wear to the surgery and Saturday at the post op appointment, I also went looking for PJs that button down in the front. That was another feat overcome. I ended up finding silky PJs with owls on them in the little girls department and just bought extra large. Its very amusing. To me, at least. So with all of this said and done, going down the list, I have movies, books, my laptop, an audiobook; in other words, plenty to entertain me. Now it's just getting everything ready, cleaning the house super well, doing the laundry, putting in my prescriptions and making a med journal. Its almost like nesting, but instead of having a baby, I'm getting boobs. Yes, that's it, I'm boob nesting! :P

Pre Op appt

Yesterday was my pre-op appt. I have to say I am extremely anxious and quite nervous about the pain. Brad went with me to this appointment to help listen in and just be supportive. He's going to be taking care of me post surgery, so it's probably good that he hears most of this first hand. Of course they drew blood and for those who didn't know, I'm hemophobic. I know, lame. Anyway, I was already nervous and that made it even worse. The took all the Before pictures, we tried on the implants again and I decided to go with 450cc's. They gave me all of my prescriptions so I could fill them before hand. I apparently can no longer get supplements in my smoothies-no more trimbek and powerbek! Bummer. I have no idea how I am going to get through these next ten days. I am totally anxious!

Before and After pictures

So these are what I want my boobs to look like. At least close to this.

Breast History and decision making

I've learned a lot about breast implants over the years, and I'm here to tell you I know all the risks and definitely know what I'm getting into. This is definitely something for me! I'm not going to say my boyfriend won't benefit, that would be silly, but I will tell you that my decision was made based on the way I feel and Brad loves me the way I am regardless of my breast size.
Doctors Appts
I went to two doctors. I know, it doesn't seem like a lot, but the second doctor my wonderful physician Dr. Brett recommended. I was very comfortable with the doctor and his ideas when I met him and knew he would be a solid choice.
Dr. Sanders is charging me $6,900 for my augmentation. I am financing $5,900 and the rest is paid out of pocket. Some of you may remember the boob tree from my birthday! Your contributions were used well! I decided to go with a Dual Plane implant, Silicone, with an under-the-breast incision. I have also decided to go with 425cc's. I know this sounds big, but it really isn't! I tried on several sizes of breasts and these were the best ones for me.

You may wonder why the over abundance of information. I honestly just don't want to get a lot of why's? and how's? This is my story and I'm sticking to it!
