Happy to Finally Have Boobs, but What a Pain - Charlotte, NC

Congrats LOL!!!

I only have purchased sports bras .. I have been holding off on buying any other bras until everything settles down.

I am 6 weeks and they feel pretty soft and I think they have come down a little bit, I only went to get sized, bit with the sale I had to do it

I am going to be upset if I miss their big sale lolol!!

I hope they have them more than once a year

I wasnt even an A cup, I wore 34 A bit didnt fill it up, I am 5'6" and 120

Jenna .. I know you have been tossing around different ideas in your head on ccs .. sometimes it is not all about the ccs - for example, ^^ thrilled started off with smaller boobs than me (I was a deflated B cup) and went with less ccs but ended up bigger than me. I think I had a lot of skin .. who knows. But, I just wanted to give you some insight. The best thing to do is to show your PS pics of how you want to look and tell him/her you want to be a D or a DD, etc. They will calculate your ccs for you from there and then I would add 25 ccs since a lot of them are conservative unless you go to doc who specializes in [RS bleep] stars lol. J/K, but you get the point. I told my doc I wanted to be a D cup and showed him pics. He said ok, 425 cc's, silicone, mod profile under the muscle. I ended up going with 457's (as you know) and secretly wish I went even bigger. Good luck and I hope our stories help! ;o)

Thanks girlie! Yea idk why I'm driving myself crazy with CCs I know I want to be a D but I guess it's the VS ppl who are confusing me because they say I AM a D which I know I'm not lol so then it makes me think maybe I need to be a DD to get my result? And the fact that 2 people that both start off with a B add the same CCs then one had a C and one has a DD confuses me more! Lol maybe I should just go try on sizers with my PS lol

The people at VS really don't have a clue .. I was told to get measured at a Nordstrom's which I may do today even though I'm not even 3 weeks post op. I'm hesitant to get measured and then buy a bunch of bras (outside of my beloved sports bras) until my final results are here - hopefully sooner than later LOL! Try on sizers with your PS knowing you will lose some ccs because you are probably going under the muscle, bring a few pics of his/her own patients (hopefully) and tell them what you want. I think you be much better off that way hee hee. Keep us posted for sure!!!

Lol thank you soo much for your help!! I think I'll go to Nordies today :) N I've already printed a few of his patients and some random ones :) n I CAN'T wait to be able to wear sports bras without a normal bra under lol

Jenna you are going to be sooooo happy! A few days after my surgery I was trying on various dresses and outfits lol

Thank you :) I know I will be it will just take stressing about it then ill bite the bullet and choose my size and be super excited! It's just a process lol

I really think thats what it is, also the one with the most pain is no numb so it seems to be working

Thanks, I need to get an appointment with him, I seem to work the same smdays he does, I keep forgetting to call because the pain seems to only be in bed, grr
