WORTH IT$3,000

I am a 29 yr. old mother of 2. I breast-fed each child for a year each, which played a toll on my already tiny breasts. Since I graduated from high school, I have always dreamed of getting breast implants, but for different reasons, I haven't....until now! I have exactly 4 weeks from today until the Big Day...and I wish it were today! I have yet to get my blood work done (should cost me about $125), which I plan to get done next week, along with purchasing a zip-front sports bra. My ps recommended Champion and UnderArmour....not sure which I'll get yet.

Welcome to RealSelf! I'm looking forward to following your journey. Do you know what sort of implants you're going with yet? Your surgery is on July 18th then?

Thank you! I'm not quite sure what i want to go with yet. I'm thinking moderate profile, saline 400cc (maybe 450). PS said since I have "some droopiness" I need to go with a slightly larger implant. My surgery is scheduled for Monday, July 16th. :)

So I ordered my sports bra today and next week I'll get my blood work done. 20 more days!! But who's counting?! I think the closer it gets, the more excited I get, rather than nervous. I am still undecided on what size to go...400 or 450 cc's. Doc wanted me to try 450 with the rice test. I know they say that 50 cc's doesnt make much difference, especially under the muscle, but when doing the rice test, it seems like I really notice a difference! But, I kinda like the way it looks. The only thing I wish is that my hubby would be more supporting about this. He doesnt even seem to care. :( Well, I am extremely excited, anyway!!!

Hello florida~ you must be getting really excited about the upcoming BA!! My tummy was filled with butterflies before I did it. 450 cc's is pretty big, that will probably give you a DD cup. Maybe your hubby will be excited after he sees the gorgeous results?? Lol Thanks for sharing your story:-)

Hi! I have my BA on Friday. I am going with Mentor 350 CC HP. I'm not sure of how tall you are but maybe similar in size to me? Your before looks pretty familar:) I guess it all depends how big you feel comfortable with. It's such a personal thing....Check out my profile I will be posting pics along the way. Can't believe its two days away! Good luck with everything.! My husband is the same way. I think he thinks if he's excited or too supportive it means he doesn't like what I have now. I think when "they" arrive he'll be a little more enthused! At least I hope so:)

I really don't want to be a DD! I am 5'5", 133 lbs (trying to lose a few more before the 16th!). I just want to be a full c/baby d. I have really broad shoulders, though. Idk. As for my hubby, I think you guys are right...I think he'll come around. I think mine just didn't want me to think he doesn't like me now, too! Wow, yours is really soon! I wish you the best of luck tomorrow! ;)

So my surgery is 11 days away! I couldn't be more excited...starting to get a tad bit nervous, though! I'm getting the whole "should I really go through with it?" feelings but some of my friends who have had it done are all encouraging me that it's well worth it. I'm kinda nervous about recovery with my job...I know I am going to want to return as soon as possible for guilt reasons, but I also know I need to take it easy. I am having the incision in my naval (TUBA) as I have heard it has the quickest recovery time. Has anyone on here had this...and any comments on it???
