Pre-op, done!

Today I had my pre-op visit.  Ooooo, I am one step closer. 

All informed and anesthesia consent forms were signed, last minute questions were answered, post-op scripts to be filled prior to surgery, implant warranty information received and 375cc is the size of the implant with a subglandular placement.  The PS once again groped, pushed and pulled for one final time before surgery.

I was given a specific anti-bacterial body wash to use two days and the morning of surgery.  Oh, and pre-op photos were taken and of which I will receive copies prior to surgery. 

I was also given instructions of what to do and more of what not to do the morning of surgery.  For example, I have to take a specific pill an hour before surgery. I am not to wear any make-up, lotions, oil and no jewelry.  I can wear lounge pants during the surgery but need to wear or bring a button up shirt to wear following.

I will have an appointment the day following surgery to remove bandages and have the new girls wrapped up in a special sports bra.  This bra will be worn for four weeks following.  No strenuous exercise for three weeks after surgery.  Then approximately five days later, I will return to have sutures removed, be shown how to apply and change the gauze that will cover the steri-strips and be coached on how to massage each breast to prevent capsular contraction.

And although I was a little anxious at my pre-op visit, I am not as nervous as I was previously.  I am excited, ready and hoping for nothing less than optimal results.  

That about sums up my pre-op visit.  Now c'mon surgery day!
