I have been waiting to update my blog with inflation pics before I write about my switch out surgery! Last Friday the 13th (I met my husband on a Friday the 13th, so it is a lucky day for me/us!) I had my last surgery; removal of my expanders and received my silicon implants.
Initially I was worried about surgery being so late in the day, 3:30 pm. I know my Dr was having a lot of surgeries that day before she was going back to her family for Christmas; I didn't want her to be tired. I know that is a silly though since she is a professional but when you have a lot of waiting time on your hands, stuff like that just pops up! I was at the hospital at 1:30 for my 3:30 surgery. I ended up being my Drs last surgery at 6:30p ... 3 HOURS late. It was a bit annoying but the Dr said that she didn't want to be pressed for time with my surgery so she decided to do it last. By the time I was in O.R. holding, I didn't care, I was ready.
The day before, I was at the hospital for my pre-op. This includes blood and urine tests and an EKG. One thing that was new this time is that I got a pretty orange bracelet that I needed to wear until after surgery. The Dr. ordered blood typing (I think that is what they called it), in case I needed a blood transfusion. I got nervous because I didn't have that before. I was thinking - did the Dr. think I was going to lose a lot of blood!? It was just for a precaution and the nurse said that it wasn't common. I let it go after that otherwise I would have been a wreck.
After surgery I felt immediate relief since my expanders were out. It was great! I had more movement that I did with the first surgery too. The most pain that I experienced, initially, were my muscles. All of my muscles were so sore, even my legs and my abs and neck. It was really easy to over do it, which of coarse I did.
My foobs definitely feel different, I was brave enough to poke them. lol they're squishy, like real breasts!!! I do have bruising and they're cold to the touch. Its honestly weird since I have had rock hard foobs for a long time, they didn't move. My new foobs move, jiggle, look and feel like real breasts. They don't appear to be as big as my expanders, but I think that is because the expanders stuck straight out. I will post a picture soon to compare. I also think that the right one is STILL smaller than the left but I am not going to focus on that until I am fully healed. I am sure it is just in my head lol.
I will be posting soon!
