I am getting 750ccs On my Birthday! YAY!

Merissa! Thanks hun! Yeah...ever since I got mine the first go around (only 325ccs), I've always thought I should have gone bigger. At the time it wouldn't have been feasible since I really wasn't starting out with much, but this time I'm going for it! Best of luck to you too on getting the 750s! When is your b'day babe? That is going to be one amazing b'day present!

5 days!! woo hoooooooo Just make sure you take the pain pills on time through the night the first couple of nights even if you have to set an alarm .. that way you stay ahead of the pain... just make sure you eat something before you tale them ... even if its a yogurt... crackers.. cheese something... so you dont get nauseated...

Wow you think of everything Vikki! Thank you! You have no idea how helpful this is. As I get closer I'm realizing my nerves are making me a little scatter brained so these threads are so helpful for me to jot down all my reminders. So so helpful. Thank you so very much! xoxo

I'm looking for a large look for my frame (I'm 5'4 about 107lbs) and the PS has indicated that he thinks this size range is the largest I can go. My pre-op is already this coming Monday! I currently have 325 cc Mentor saline unders that I've had for some time now without any complications.

I also wanted to know if any of you hotties have found that a redo is any less painful than the first initial BA. I'm going do have under placement again through the same peri-areolar incision. I just remember how hard the ride was home over the roughly paved freeways of LA the first time and I'm hoping it will be a little easier this second time. *cringe*. Thanks girls for your input in advance!

Sounds like you got great info.. I just wanted to welcome you to the forum!!

Yw You are getting closer!!!! woo hooo its so exciting isnt it We'll be here for you after so dont worry Do you have a lap top you can keep with you on the recliner or couch or wherever your going to be sleeping Elavated for a few nights? You know you need to sleep upright for awhile right? Even if its in bed ...use Tons of pillows to keep propped up ... and use your legs to push yourself up from a sitting position.... not your arms... practice.. harder than you think Also have a pad and pen handy to write down the times you take the meds cuz you will forget if you dont..
adding.. Wet wipes for the bathroom are a god send ...keep things where you dont have to stretch and reach for them too..

I agree with the not pulling up with your arms did this by accident yesterday cuz DH shocked himself putting up a ceiling fan and I freaked out not even thinking about it pushed myself up with my arms EEKKK scared myself lol
Also if you are going to be wearing a bra of any type make sure you get something to put between the bra and incision cuz it will rub against there and irritate it enough to drive ya nuts! Have all your med bottles partially open so you dont have to try to open them. Ummm thats all I can think of right now lol If ya have any Qs feel free to ask

A ziplock bag is good for this too, or even one of those plastic pill cases.

Yay...I really have the best of the best here! You all are pros! Thank you for all of the last minute tips. I'm telling the bf everything so we are ready to go! I will have my laptop nearby on a rolling tray near the bed. And the notepad idea is perfect since I'm really bad at remembering things as is so staying on top of the meds will be easier! I'm going to start lining things up on the tray for after too. The tip about the ziplocs is awesome too so that I don't have to wake anyone up to help me take medicine. Lastly, I started putting together my surgery day bag with all of the things I will need like pain meds, water, pillow, sports bra, etc. Wow...I really am so happy to have you all to guide me through all of this. I would have in no way have been able to prepare myself so well. Thank you thank you!

I'm getting nervous with just tomorrow and Wednesday left! I'm mostly afraid of the pain after still, but all these tips are incredible. I have to start the liquid diet tomorrow. My PS told me to do a liquid diet the last 2 days prior. I think tomorrow will be fine, but since I'm such a food lover I know Thursday will be a bit bittersweet. I have my chicken, beef & vegetable broths, some clear juices, jello & some cherry limeade icey frozen snacks for dessert.

Love you guys & really thanks so much again!
