Visitors' Stories -- Liili's Story (page 3):10/18 10:55 Well I am back! Friday, the day of my surgery is all really like a blur to me as I slept most of the day after I arrived home. I do however remember entering the surgery suite and reading some magazines for a short while before my name was called. Boy did that seem like an eternity as my husband and I sat quietly waiting my turn. Soon enough they called me in and I was asked to remove my shirt and bra and put on a big fluffy robe. I was surprised they let me leave my pants and socks on. I had been anticipating having to remove all my clothing and was glad I did not have to. Then I was escorted to another room where I stood and took some pictures. After that the doctor drew some marks on my chest and told me we were already to go and wanted to make sure I didn't have anymore questions. Again my confidence was boosted in the doctor and his staff as they tried to make me feel well informed and comfortable. I was feeling a bit tipsy from the sleeping pill that I had taken an hour prior to the visit, which was really nice as it made me much more relaxed. Then we went into the surgical room where I laid down on a large bed that was VERY comfortable and a nurse place a nice warm blanket on me. The nurse anesitis was waiting for me there and we chatted while she put in my IV. I have had a few IV's in my life and this was painless! That instantly eased any more of my previous fears and before I even knew it I was off to sleep. I don't even remember being put in my husband's truck, but I do however remember looking out the window at one point to see we were almost at my house. Later that night my dear friend came over and chatted with me until I finally passed out from the pain medication. The next day (Saturday) was pretty hard for me, as I was real sore and felt helpless with my children. Today I am like a new woman. I fell much better and am able to get around a bunch. Just made my first cup of tea! I might not be able to pick up my infant but she can sit on my lap still and that makes me real happy. My son and my relationship has not been effected at all! He just came into my room and visited me (taking a few crackers with him every time he left!) Well and as for the size I was so worried about, I did go with 350cc's and right now, to tell you the truth they just don't look real big at all! I can't believe it. Guess I could have gone bigger yet! Who would have figured! They are still wrapped in gauze and I have a large support bra on that will be there for a week. That will all come of on Friday and then the true revealing begins! I can't wait. I also know that when I loose these 15-20 pounds of weight from having my baby my new additions will look bigger too. Actually the pain was much more bearable then I thought it would be. Last night was definitely the worst part because nothing I did seemed to help, but if I would have known how much better I would feel today I never would of complained. So it is all relative I guess. A little pain, or some larger breasts. It is worth it, I guarantee! Can't wait to bra shop! Write more later. (continued - click next arrow to read more)
