Breast
augmentation and lift
Pre
op day:
I
am a little nervous now that my surgery is only one week away.
It has taken me so many years to finally make the decision
to have my breasts done. I was fine with my breasts before
I had my two children. My breasts were always small, but after
the kids they are now small with droopy skin. My husband tells
me he loves me the way I am, but I want to do the surgery
for me!
I
went to Dr. Corbin's office today for my pre surgery appointment.
I was late for the appointment because of traffic. The girls
in the office have so understood about everything. Every question
or concern I have either Dr. Corbin or one of his nurses offers
me reassurance and answers.
I
signed all my surgery consents, did my blood work and made
my final payment. I am amazed at how quickly things are coming
together. I left the office today feeling very confident with
everything. Dee at Dr. Corbin's office has been so helpful.
I feel like she is always available for my husband and me.
He is starting to get a little jealous. Today he made some
comment about me getting a lot of extra attention from men
after my surgery. I reassured him that I don't care about
other men's opinions.
My
husband has been wonderful! He came to all the appointments
with me to speak with Dr. Corbin and ask questions that were
important to him. My husband is also very comfortable with
my surgeon, which is very important to me.
Day
1
Last
night we took the kids over to my mother in laws. I thought
I would sleep in a bit, but I was too nervous! We arrived
at the surgery center early because we were not sure about
traffic. Melody my nurse was very sweet. I met my anesthesiologist
too. I told him how nervous I was and he was very kind and
understanding. Dr. Corbin took my before photos and marked
my chest with a marker. He carefully explained what the marks
were and what he was going to do in surgery. Sometimes I feel
a little intimidated because he is so smart.
The
next thing I knew I kissed my husband and the nurse took me
into the operating room. My heart started beating like crazy
and my mouth felt dry when I saw all the equipment in there.
Melody helped me on to the operating table and held my hand
while my other Dr. Prepared me for anesthesia. The next thing
I remember I was in the recovery room.
I
am now at home. The ride home was a little uncomfortable.
I don't feel nauseas, but I feel pressure on my chest. It
feels similar to the heavy feeling my breast had when I was
breast-feeding.
I
think I will just stay in bed today. click
