Visitors' Stories -- Deidre (page 3 of 3) In late February we ended up getting our Income tax refund early and I immediately called to try to move my surgery up-I was able to move it up only a week but that was fine with me so my new surgery date was 3-29-01 and I was ready!! It was still a month away but all of a sudden it seemed like it was just around the corner. I started cleaning my house like a madwoman. Every closet every drawer,it got cleaned-I gave all my blouses and tops to GOODWILL and I printed out Nicoles pre-op and post op list and I did every single thing they suggested. The night before surgery I could not sleep because I had to be at the hospital by 5:30 and I was afraid I would not wake up. So I spent the night touching up the house and doing beauty treatments on myself,I figured it would be awhile before I could do these things again. Finally it was time to go. In all those months I had never been scared or nervous-but when they put the IV in my hand I suddenly got scared and told my husband that maybe I should just go home. LOL. Thankfully he knows me well enough to not listen to me because if he would have taken me home I would have been so mad!!! I expected to wake up to hideously deformed breasts that were under my chin and bruised,and I prepared myself and my husband for this for months before my surgery. but when I woke up I was amazed! They were gorgeous! I was one of the lucky ones that had pretty boobs from day one, even the recovery nurses were telling me how pretty they were ,but all I could think was GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DRINK! LOL-I have never been so thirsty in my life! And I wanted to go home now! I had to stay for a couple of hours because I got pretty nauseous and I was barely awake,but finally I got to leave and I was home by noon. The pain was not bad the first day,and I had to go on my first post op the second day which was a Friday. Still I wasn't in a whole lot of pain-so, over the course of Friday night I started really cutting myself back on my pain meds-HUGE mistake! My right side never did have much pain but the left side was totally out of control and by Sunday I was hurting bad! Well Dr Strock saw me immediately because I was in so much pain I thought I had a hematoma-after he looked at my breast he said that there was no hematoma and immediately asked me how much pain medication I was taking?? (smart man) Well I had to confess that I hadn't taken much. I was having severe muscle spasms and he prescribed a stronger pain med and a stronger muscle relaxer and I promised to take them this time,and I did,believe me! after that I started getting alot better-I know some heal within days,for me it didn't happen that way, but on the other hand I didn't go through the awkward looking stage either,so....you can't have it all. LOL I am now 9 wks post and I feel great,I have been back to the gym since the end of the 3rd week and I have regained my former fitness level almost completely-I still get a little tired at times but then I workout alot harder than I used to,there is something about having these implants that drives me even harder to work on my body and be healthy as well as look good. I am a very full D cup and I am very happy most days-I do wish they were just a teensy bit bigger,but I think I may have a body image problem because my husband thinks they are huge as does just about everyone else. As for Dr Strock when I tell him that ,he just shakes his head and sighs....I think he thinks I am a loon! Well that's my story and i'm sticking to it-Good Luck to all you ladies doing research,you've come to the right place and if any of you are in the Fort Worth area, call Dr. Strock. You will not be disappointed. :)
