Yesterday:
I had my updated consult. Yay!
Nothing has changed. Yay, yay!
All the information from my prior consult a few years ago still stands. They will be placed on top of the muscle (subglandular placement). My PS did state that if he goes in and sees they would look nicer under the muscle (submuscular) he will go that route but I have plenty of breast tissue to cover the implant. There shouldn't be any issues with rippling as a result. The procedure will take a couple of hours. My PS gave me both a 350cc and a 400cc implant and pressed it against my boob to see which one I preferred. I keep leaning in the 350cc direction but he did add that I needed to get my money's worth, lol. The 400cc would be a double D cup and the 350cc would be a D cup. He said I am a full C as of now. I will have the volume I am hoping for and am excited to see the updated girls.
Surgery was tentatively scheduled when I left and ....
Paid in full! Yes oh yes oh yes!
This AM:
I went to my PCP this morning for my preoperative medical exam. Basically because I am over 40 and have a history of HBP, they want to exercise precaution and ensure that all is good to go with the elective surgery. My EKG was excellent. Lungs are good. No illnesses. My blood pressure was a wee bit elevated but more than likely due to "white coat syndrome". Blood labs were taken and as long as the results are within normal limits, I am good to go! If I don't hear from my PCP tomorrow, I will call on Monday to confirm my blood labs are within normal ranges.
*blows on the dice and rolls* Momma needs a new pair of boobs!
I called the PS office upon leaving my PCP and relayed how the preoperative medical exam went. I confirmed the surgery date which is sooner than I thought due to someone else having a scheduling conflict. I have scheduled my pre-op visit for my boob surgery and am ready to do this!
Annnnd, although my PS didn't suggest this, I have a mammogram scheduled for mid-week next week just so there is an immediate baseline prior to the BA. Plus, as I mentioned in the previous blog (I think), I don't have to worry about new chi-chis being smashed shortly after the BA. This way I have a whole year to heal before the procedure is needed again.
That's all for now!
