It's obvious you've never taken naked photos before.

Hi folks. Time for another blog posting. I at first wanted to blog every single day but my last post was like pulling teeth. I mean seriously, why force myself to blog when I don't feel like it? All I get it in the end is a post that's so boring it doesn't entertain nor inform anyone...so I intend to write when I have something interesting to say.
This gentleman that you see to your left is Dr. Spann. He's the plastic surgeon that I met with on Thursday. I had originally met with another plastic surgeon from his practice because Dr. Spann was out taking exams (or something) but after talking to Dr. Gabriel, he was intent that I choose Dr. Spann. Not saying there was anything wrong with my original plastic surgeon and his loads of experience but when your surgeon recommends another surgeon, you kinda gotta trust it.
My appointment was Thursday afternoon. I knew it was going to be a good appointment when they didn't charge me my co-pay. Yay me! Score one for the cancer patient. I was brought back to the exam room with my mom and West and had a short conversation with the nurse I had chatted with last time. She recognized me and said hi. It was a long wait in a room without much air conditioning. I'm not gonna lie. I had some boob sweat going on and kept readjusting because I knew at some point I was going to need to take my top off. Dr. Spann came in and like every doctor was like OMG you're 28? Really? Ok doctors..I get it. I'm young. Tell the effin cancer that. It's a shocking surprise and I don't like it any more than you do. ANYWAYS he immediately went over the procedure details and what was most different about this appointment than the last one was I got to see touch and feel all the things that are going into my body. I got to see what tissue expanders look like (basically hot water bottles), I got to feel the difference between silicone and saline implants (and we'll be definitely going with silicone) and learn about how they graph a nipple. He was descriptive and put me at ease.
Then it was time for me to take my shirt off and change into this robe. Here's where my planning for this occasion went bad. For starters there was no AC in the room and I had a lot of boob sweat going on. Secondly, I was wearing my skinny jeans on a not so skinny day so I had that muffin top thing going on so topless, I felt like Jabba the Hut.

No, of course this isn't my breast - example of an anchor scar.

Then the guy comes in with what every woman dreads at this point. A camera. I mean, I understand the need for before and after shots but c'mon dude. Really? Now? Awesome. Before going right to my photo shoot, he had me pose in the mirror so he could look at my nipples, my skin texture, how my breasts hang. He pointed out how one breast is bigger than the other (thanks) and showed me where my scars would be visible. They do something called an anchor scar which will pretty much only be visible underneath my breast so I can still wear low cut tops and all that without anything showing. Pretty much only West and myself will ever see my scars and that makes me feel a lot better than some of the photos I had seen.
He too some measurements of my chest to see what size tissue expander I would fit and then he brought out the camera and had me stand against a black wall while joking with us that taking pictures of topless women was how he paid for med school. West started joking with him that he should start a website of before and after shots, that some guys into fetish would really like that and he replied with "what makes you think that's not what this camera is for?" LOL Awesome. So I stood against the black wall and followed his instructions for my pictures...and he looks at me with this smile and is like well, it's obvious you've never taken nude photos before. What? Because I didn't pose? lol The man should have given me some props and then I would have put on a show or something. Really given him some photos for that website of his ;) but all in all I got a good feeling from him at the appointment. I liked his humor and seeing what a close relationship this surgery puts you with your plastic surgeon and staff, I think I'll fit right in.
Now. I want to show you guys something. If you're squimish, if you can't watch surgery on TV, if this doesn't interest you. Skip down BUT if you really want to see the surgery I'm having....I mean REALLY see it...I want you to watch this video. Now. The woman in the video has already had her first surgery. They went in, removed all the breast tissue and put in tissue expanders that she has had filled over a period of 6 to 8 weeks and now she's ready for her new permanent implants. Notice that very beginning of the video surgery. She doesn't have nipples? That's how I'm going to be for quite a few months.

ACTUALLY wait a sec. Maybe I should educate ya'll on what I'm having done. WATCH THIS VIDEO FIRST and then watch the breast surgery video. Watch the beginning of this video but THEN SKIP TO 2:00min in so you can get right to the synthetic implant part. I'm not having anything having to do with the first 2:00min of that video where they're talking about flaps. Is it strange the only thing that's bothering me about this procedure is that I have to have a breathing tube inserted??


Ok, that's probably enough info for one night. Leave your comments below and let me know what you think of this whole thing. Videos finally make it real? Yeah. I'm feeling that way too.
