Aaaaaah, three days to go! Today I start surgery prep - arnica, stool softener, and hibiclens!

It's super weird getting dressed and thinking, "wow, this is one of the last times I'll ever wear this bra" and "wow, this is one of the last times I'll be seeing these sagging breasts." It's a really strange feeling and I don't remember having similar thoughts before my last surgery.

I can't wait! I'll be heading to a hotel near the hospital on Sunday evening and then to the hospital stupidly bright and early on Monday!

YAY! You will do great. This is seriously a walk in the park compared to the LBL. You will be astounded how good you feel when you wake up.

And I still marvel at my boobies everyday LOL. They are sitting where they're supposed to, they fit my new frame, and they're symmetrical - YAY!

Good luck! Can't wait for an update!

This is my second reconstructive surgery. First one was LBL and brachioplasty. This one is UBL and mastopexy.
