So Im 1 week away.. Ahhh!! and before I've been pretty excited a little nervous, but mostly excited.. Now that Im so close I've been freaking out all day!! I've researched soooo much, and know tons of people who have had a BA. But I think the thing that scares me the most is that 1 of those young ladies died because of an infection. All day long I've been hugging on my kids. It might sound a bit crazy, but im truly concerned. I need some support from you wonderful ladies. I know I want this done, no doubt in my mind.. Just scared and need some major support for the next week! I've never had any type of surgery at all.. I've had a local anesthetic once when I got my birth control put in my arm lol, but nothing ever for my kids or anything... Please help put my mind at ease!  TIA!!! |

Get HOLD OF YOURSELF WOMAN!!  
Seriously? I remember those feelings. I didn't worry so much about operative complications; I worried more that I'd be sorry I had it done, I worried and obsessed over how different would I look? I had moments where I thought I'd lost my mind signing up for this!
All is well! I love having breasts like a REAL girl! There can be complications from having a bunion removed! Those don't occur frequently either! Best of Luck! |

| I am one week and one day post-op and let me tell you I was a nervous wreck too! A little about complications and a lot about whether I would really like having all that stuff on my chest - since I've never really had much even while breastfeeding. With my last two children's birth's I didn't have any pain meds either and am kinda a big proponent on avoiding unecessary intervetions, lol... hello elective cosmetic surgery! Struggled with that dilemma, a lot!! - but that's another topic... I'm right there with you sister... You are going to come out the other side of this just fine, really! And even hours post-op with tremendous unexpected pressure/pain on my sternum I was peaking under my shirt and would have stood up and did the happy dance if I could have mustered the strength, lol. Think positive and stay away from the scary stories - that is the best thing you can do going in to this! |

| Thanks so much jenn.. Im not so worried about the size, because I have always had a nice size chest for my size. Well until after I breastfed my daughter. Now they're small and a little saggy. So Im ready to get my boobies back and hopefully they'll be better than ever! **fingers crossed** but thanks for the encouragement!!! So how are you feeling now?? |

| I feel much better than expected. The worst part was probably dealing with the nauseousness from the meds after coming out of surgery. Eventually they gave me a scopalamine patch to put behind my ear which working wonderfully. Other than that it's been much better than expected. Probably too good actually, in that I've probably been doing/accomplishing more than I should try at this point. |
