Surgery Day!

So today was the big day, and as you can see I am doing great since I am blogging this soon! :)

The whole process

This morning I woke up and showered washing myself with the same pre-surgery antibacterial soap as I did the night before. I got dressed wearing comfortable clothes and a sports bra to get the full effect of my last few hours with an A cup. I still had no pre-surgery nerves or anything; I slept like a baby the night before. I thought that when I got to the hospital I would be more anxious/nervous.

I arrived at the hospital and my surgery was actually going to be preformed at the new out-patient wing which was beautiful. My mom thought it looked like a fancy hotel. When I checked in, I had time to go to the bathroom and then they were already ready for me. They brought me back into my own room and gave me a gown to wear along with gripped socks and a hair cap. I also requested hospital underwear which was a sight to see! But they were definitely comfortable to say the least. I had many nurses coming in and out helping me with different things. The gowns were so cool, they attached a tube to it and it began sending heated air through it! Then they asked me many questions and gave me Tylenol and some pills for nausea.

They also put in my IV which was sending cold fluid and pain medication through my veins. I got to meet with the anesthesiologist and surgeon before I went into the operation room. They answered any questions I had then my Dr. drew on my breasts while explaining what each mark meant. With his advisement I decided to get my incision on the bottom fold of my breast.

Before I knew it I was wheeled into my operation room. There was a small table under these big lights. My surgeon nurse asked what music I wanted them to play before I went under. I asked if they could put Eminem on and they all laughed and said they have never had that requested before. As vulgar and intense Eminem is, it made me comfortable. I think I was only awake in the operating room for 2 minutes. Then before I knew it I was woke up in the recovery room. I felt fine when I woke up, I had some juice and crackers. My mom was laughing at me because I was very "loopy" to say the least. I didn't seem like I was in the recovery room long before I discharged. They wheeled me out to my car and that was it!

On the way home my mom and I stopped at Walgreens and the gas station and I was walking around fine! I got a smoothie to fill my stomach and hydrate me. We were at Walgreens way longer than I should of been so I began feeling nauseous. I was sweating and my chest and neck got really red and blotchy. So I headed to the car and instantly felt better one I sat down. I got plenty of fluids at the store though.

When I got home I just wanted to sleep so I went to lay down and between people calling and texting me, I only was able to doze off a few times.

How I felt and feel now
I am going to be completely honest right now. Throughout the whole experience I was not nervous once. I have been all smiles all day. I reccomend everyone to stay calm to help ease the recovery process. I think I was just so ready to have this done that I was way too excited to be nervous. I know today I still have the anesthesia my system along with pain killers and numbing agents but I have minimum pain. Since being in the recovery room at 11, I have only taken one pain killer. Along with one muscle relaxer. I am able to get up using my ab muscles and pretty much do basic things for myself. I am not in any severe pain... YET! Hopefully I feel this great tomorrow!! I feel more pain when I am up, and only pressure when I am laying down.. I am going to try and get some rest. I will update tomorrow. Wish me fast healing :)
