MY SCARS

I recently got a new job as a ring girl for some boxing matches. It is so much fun. I was a little nervous at first because all I could think about was the fact that I was going to be walking around a ring in a tank top with my arms over my head. I didn't want to do it at first but I figured well it can't be that bad.

So I went to my first fight and my friends were in the front row. I was like make sure to look at my armpits and tell me if you can see anything. I went around the ring, I was so nervous ran down to my friends and was like well...they told me I was crazy and they couldn't see anything.

I am so happy. I guess I notice the scars but no one else even realizes that they are there. They are healing so well I can't even believe it.

I met a girl the other day who is going in for a consultation. I asked her how they do the surgery and she said they go through the bottom of the breast. I tried to convince her to go through the armpit. She didn't think that it would look good. So I showed her my scars and she couldn't believe how good it looked. She changed her mind instantly.

My advice to anyone out there thinking about getting this done is to DEFINITELY go through the armpit. It is the best option in my opinion!

The Battle of the Bra

I swear I thought getting implants would make bra shopping easier. I cannot for the life of me find a bra that fits right. I have been to Victoria secrets like 5 times and been fitted each time. Every time they tell me I am a different size. It is so frustrating. All I want is a comfortable bra. And forget about getting a strapless. I don't really need one but I do like the support.

I found that sleeping in a sports bra is the only way to sleep. I want to keep my breasts as firm as possible and I feel that with little or no support they are going to get saggy. So far I haven't had any problems but I worry about everything.

I am still having problems sleeping on my stomach I can lay there for like 5 minutes and then I have to turn to the side. Sometimes I can feel the implant hanging when I lay on my side so that's the benefit of wearing the sports bra.

If I find a good place to find bras I will let you all know. Otherwise if someone has any ideas
I am open to suggestions!

The ripple effect

Let me just start off by saying I feel so lucky that I went to the best doctor ever =) I am so pleased with my surgery and like I have said before I would do it all over in a second. Unfortunately one of my friends is not as lucky as me. She got her surgery about 2 months before I did and she was psyched. Her breasts looked amazing. Well a couple days ago she came to me and said "I need you to come look at my implants" I was like oh no. So we went into the bathroom and she showed me. At first I couldn't really see anything and then she started moving around. I could see the bags under her skin. They weren't awful but they were definitely there. Then she was like feel, and all I could feel were all the little bumps underneath. It made me very thankful that I went to the doctor that I did.

I know that anything is possible and people's bodies are all different. I just feel that my doctor gave me a complete understanding of what to expect and why he put the size implants that he did. It is very important to feel comfortable with your surgeon. My friend is so upset and embarrassed by her surgery that she wants to get them redone. They really aren't that bad... but she wants to feel comfortable in her own body which is understandable.

My advice to anyone that is planning on getting this surgery done is do your research. There are so many different doctors out there you HAVE to find the one that is right for you!

Best Vacation Ever

It has been a while since my last blog. I have been on vacation for the past 2 weeks... maybe i should say paradise! All I have to say is I have NEVER been so excited to put on a bathing suit in my life!!! I met up with some old friends who I haven't seen since my surgery. They couldn't believe how wonderful I look. I think I just contributed to 3 more surgeries in the world =)

My only concern was my scars. I tried my best to keep my arms down the whole time I didn't want to expose them to the sun. I put on a little bit of sunblock just to be on the safe side. My scars have faded a lot but they are still there. No one seemed to notice. Not even my friends.

My self confidence level was through the roof. I know it sounds lame but I can't get over how wonderful my new breasts look!

It has been 3 months since my surgery and I feel pretty normal. Sometimes I have a little pain. I am still getting use to myself again. Sometimes when I sleep I am sore in the morning but other than that I am feeling very good. Each day that goes by I am even happier than the day before. I can't wait till I go home next month and I get to see the rest of my friends and family!

Surgery Day

I was talking to my friend today. She just got her implants on Thursday. I started remembering about the day of my surgery. I wasn't nervous at all. I got up in the morning took a shower and headed over to the hospital. I went in a room and changed and the next thing I knew I was being called into another room. I walked down the hall. I was surprisingly calm. I think I was almost in shock I had been waiting for this for so long. I went into the room and the nurse came in and checked all my vitals and I talked to the anesthesiologist. Everyone was super nice. They made me feel very calm and not nervous at all. Then my doctor came in and took some pictures and made some marks. Next thing I knew they gave me a cocktail and I was being pushed down the hall. I don't really remember much. The last thing I remember was lying on the table and there being a bunch of people in the room. Then voila 29 minutes later I was a new woman. It was the best spent 29 minutes of my life.

I guess I slept for a long time after the surgery was over. The nurse asked my husband if I was a good sleeper and he was like you have no idea. I eventually woke up. I didn't feel too bad at all. The nurse got me up and gave me a muffin and some ginger ale. I was like this is too easy. Then I had to stand up and that was a whole different story. I had to put my clothes on and go to the restroom. I started feeling really nauseous. But I think it was from the percocet. I sat back down and after about 10 minutes I was fine. They wheeled me out and put me in my car. I was very surprised about how alert I was. I remember the whole car ride home called my friends and family. I thought I was going to be like a zombie. I was very pleased how well and easy everything turned out.

My friend said the same thing. She was glad that I wasn't lying to her when I told her about my experience. Like I said before I would do it all over again in a second. If you are nervous about the actual surgery don't be. It will definitely be worth it in the end =)
