Houston... we have boobies..
Mar 21, 2009
Wednesday morning at around 10:00 a sedative, an IV, some "oxygen" (twilight) ( I could feel the beginning of the procedure but no pain) and about an hour later I woke up to the most beautiful perfectly constructed 900cc, Mentor, Mod Profile, Saline, over the muscle breasts. Almost as good as the ones God gave me 25 years ago before my weight fluctuations and three hungry breastfed boys deflated!! lol. He put them in through the crease under my breasts and the incision is closed today and looks thin and in a few months you will not be able to see it at all. I have about an inch of bruising on either side of my breasts. Other than that, no bruising. I have had NO pain. I have had a little soreness from the incision rubbing against the surgical bra, a little tenderness to the touch and pressure but no pain at all. I took the pain meds only the first day. One when I left his office, One 4 hrs later, and one about 9 at night and have only taken Tylenol since. I am amazed.
My PS came to my hotel to check on me IN BED the evening after my surgery, left his private cell phone to call and promised to answer it personally at 3 am if need be AND stopped in again at 9 am the next morning, showed me how to properly massage them and released me to go home. Honey and I had starbucks and even browsed some cute little shops in the beautiful South Lake Tahoe for a little bit. Shortly before arriving home we stopped at Hooters for lunch in Sacramento where Hubby bought me my very own Hooters shirt which I will post in my albums soon. :) I had my first follow up appointment today in Sacramento and three more that are included in the price of my BA over the next 12 months. All in all, I am THRILLED to have this stage of the journey crossed off my list, my abdominoplasty/body lift will be this fall and of COURSE I am using the same Dr. and staff. It's been a fantastic week and couldn't wait to share with my OH family.
Price of BA: 3900
Insurance paid for pain meds, sleeping pills, iron supplements
Travel expenses: (gas, food etc) 125.00
Price of Hotel in South Lake Tahoe 120.00 (3 nights): Total cost of BA with experienced Doctor that has done more than 30,000 surgeries without a single complication requiring hospitalization or serious attention since 1976!~ PRICELESS!!
** I tried on half my closet and now my cute clothes look ten times better with an actual chest to go in them, AND they still fit AND that includes my button up dress shirts, dresses, etc** Does NOT mean I cannot wait to go shopping, have to find a super cute bathing suit for summer :) xoxo
