OMG Am I Really Going to Finally Do This??? -

ORIGINAL POST

For as long as I can remember I have thought about...

WORTH IT$6,100
For as long as I can remember I have thought about having my breasts done..... the forever teasing in school, padded bras, push up bras, searching for a bathing suit with anything to make it look like something was there, the loss of what little was there after breast feeding. Now I am less than 2 weeks away and nervous as can possibly be. Im 53, 5'5 ish 158 lbs (wish I had lost those last 10 but it will have to wait until after now) Ive pretty much settled on silicone 375 cc under the muscle... is there anyone out there my age who did this.... any out there who can calm my nerves .. LOL.. Not good with needles or pain....and have never really had a situation other than 1 C-Section where Ive been down and out for any time at all... even feeling guilty as the anesthesia scares the hell out of me.. and thinking what if something goes wrong....

Yet, I cant even imagine not having to wear a padded bra ever again ..... Ill try a post a pic... hoping the size I chose is good, fear being too big and looking foolish... ahhhh so many things to think about. I have a driver set up for the day of surgery and the day after for the post check in... any other feedback from anyone... Anyone regret having done this?

No regrets at all. It is one of the best things you can do for yourself. That size will be perfect on you and will not look fake at all; surgeons these days are amazing with what they can do. It's normal to feel nervous. It's a big decision, but all will be well. And you'll have amazing boobs!!!

Cant believe how fast time is passing. Got the OK from my doctor today, now need an EKG as final clearance tomorrow. Thinking I'm going to set up camp on the couch in my family room for the first 2 days, so I have the tv and comfort. Seems everyone indicates sleeping in an upward position. Still beyond nervous..... may be brave enough to post a pic soon...

Did you have yours done??? Cant wait.. but OMG am I nervous.
November 30, 2013
June 2013. I will be 6 months out come December. Very happy. Don't be nervous, it really is simple as surgeries go, and if you remember that you will be in some pain afterwards which does go away (and limited as to what you can do) and trust your doctor to help you if you need reassurance - you will be great. I lamented over everything for a while after BA, not knowing what was normal or not, but I have found most issues seemed to resolve themselves with time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We are a helpful bunch here! Blessings!!!!

It's okay to be nervous and feel like you want to cancel. I felt the same way, but after, all that was gone. Now, I'm so happy I did it and can't wait for them to feel like part of me!!
