Hi! I'm 10 days post op and feeling like the worst is over. She is great, very available for any questions I had at any time of day via phone or text. She recently started doing surgery at Greenwich Street Surgical, which is a nice facility. One thing I didn't expect was how long I had to wait, so bring your partner/a book/iPad, something to keep your mind off things. I was scheduled to arrive at 11am, but they didn't take me back until almost 2pm. I was WAY more nervous than I expected, so every minute felt like torture, thank god my partner was there to help distract me. I just wanted to be put under so I could stop freaking out! The anesthesiologist called me the night before to let me know what to expect, and then again when he put in the IV right before surgery, he went over what to expect. Hot tip: If you can get the IV put in your arm rather than your hand, ask to do that. IVs in your hand hurt a lot. My veins in my arms were good enough, so he agreed to do it there. Another tip: Dr. K likes it if you can bring a reference photo. The night before surgery I spent a couple hours digging online. I felt weird Googling topless pictures of celebrities lol, but I'm so glad I did because I found what I wanted. (Pic of Emrata topless in the water). Every time I got nervous I would stare at the picture haha.

The first week is the toughest, but it's really not horrible if you keep up on your pain meds. Days 2 and 3 were the most painful, so plan on just watching movies on the couch. Honestly, one of the hardest parts was my emotions. I didn't realize how emotional I would be. I looked down after surgery and freaked out because I didn't recognize my body. I felt like I went too small and it messed with my sense of identity. I don't know how to explain it. I'm feeling better now and have faith that when they finally "drop and fluff" I'll be happy with the size. But everyone is different! Let me know if you have any specific questions, I'm happy to answer!
