I have my first consultation this Friday, November 21! I am so excited I can't stand it! I have a ton of questions about saline vs silicone and of course how big to go. I'm wondering if this first consultation will be where I try in the sizers because I am super excited to do that! I'll keep updating and posting pics as I go!

Feeling a little dispirited
wildfire15November 24, 2014
So my consultation went well, nothing wrong with how it went. A little back story, I have 3 auto immune disorders: type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and Graves' disease (hyperthyroidism which I had radio active therapy done to "kill" the thyroid which in turn creates hypothyroid). At any rate, the PS of course told me I was at a greater risk for complications but that he has performed augmentations on patients with auto immune disorders before with out any problem. He also told me I need consent from all of my doctors before I go through with the surgery. Endocrinologist (diabetes) was ok with it...but not so much my rheumatologist (arthritis). So I have an appointment set up so I can talk to him in person about his concerns. Anyone else have these or similar problems? I just would feel defeated if I am not able to get a breast augmentation done.

I wouldn't feel dispirited, the most important thing is your health and taken care of yourself. Keep a positive thought going into seeing your Rheumatologist and see what his concerns are, docs should be looking out for you! listen to his advice and you can make a decision, but it will at least an informed one.

Thanks! I feel better about it, and I know it's not the end of the world. I was just so excited about this

I certainly understand I go in for mine on the 17th as each day goes by I am getting more anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time. I still have not finalized everything. I go in that Friday before to choose everything. I know I want silicone and going with 600ccs just not totally sure about rounds or teardrop. I was leaning towards teardrop now its rounds but not set in stone. If I go with rounds will have to do with moderate profile as I have a large ribcage, if I go with teardrop not sure about the profile. so much to consider !
When do you see your rheumatologist? let us know what he/she says / concerns.

I have an appointment for Feb 10 but I'll probably reschedule to an earlier date. I hope if my other 2 doctors say it's ok, then he will feel more comfortable with it. I will definitely keep updating! Thanks for all the support :)

Glad you're going to talk with your rheumatologist about your breast augmentation. Here is a fairly new forum for BA members with auto immune disorders to get helpful ideas from one another. Check it out and be sure to comment on the member's reviews too! From what I've seen, your goal of a BA is very possible!

Second thoughts...
wildfire15December 29, 2014
So I went to my second consultation and loves this PS!!! He made me feel so comfortable! Well my rheumatologist isn't saying no but he just doesn't think its a good idea with all of my autoimmune diseases. I know if I have all of my issues under control I have a better chance of avoiding some post op complications...but of course there is always a risk. That's the part in nervous about. The what if?? Because it can actually happen. Especially with me and my disorders. I want this so badly but I don't want the repercussions :( of course I have been reading horror stories which probably doesn't help...but those happened and I just can't get that out of my head. Has anyone else felt like this? If so I would love some advice or just to talk!

Hey Wildfire, have you thought any more about what your going to do? It's a big decision to make anyway never mind when you have other health issues complicating things it must be difficult for you. I seen you posted on another comment saying you were looking at getting around the same size as me, I haven't totaly decided yet but my op is next week and I will keep updating so hopefully seeing that will help you make your decision if you do decide to go for it! Good luck!

I have!! I actually feel a lot better about it! I feel like I'm gonna go through with it :) I just have to take every precaution and get myself as healthy as possible!! I'll update my review and post before pics! But yea I am in the exact same situation, I'm just 2 inches taller lol! But I have wider set breasts (I think so at least) so I'm torn about what I should do. My PS told me to bring in pictures of what I want to look like so maybe that will get me closer to deciding!
Can't wait to hear how your consultation goes! Here are some important questions to ask your doctors during your various consults. Keep us posted!
