My name is Lisa an I am 30 yrs old. I am a wife...
WORTH IT$14,000
My name is Lisa an I am 30 yrs old. I am a wife and stay at home mom, my son is 5 and I have twin girls that are 4. At 24 I got pregnant with my son and gain 60 lbs, and then 4 months after having him I got pregnant with my twins (don't take antibiotics while on birth control lol!) When I got pregnant I weighed 156 lbs, at my biggest I got around 232. In Jan 2010 my New Years resolution was to het back to 156 lbs after lots of water, and gym time I reached my goal weight of 156 lbs in June 2011. I Unfortunately was left with lots of saggy skin, and much smaller an sagging breast. I feel very blessed to have a supportive husband, and family who will be helping with my kids. However with the date fast approaching I'm getting so scared about my TT, I'm quite excited for my breast though lol! My husband works in the Oilfield in a demanding job, and requested a week off, we found out today it has been approved so that is one less thing off my back. Any encouraging words/advice would be great:)

You sound like me, I am definitely excited for the breasts LOL. We're around the same weight. What size implants are you going with. I still can't decide. Hopefully my PS will help me at the pre-op.
October 8, 2011
I still have not decided on the size. We talked about 375-400cc, I am a 34 D now so I would like to stay D or go for DD, I go for my Pre-op on the 19th... So excited kinda lol!

Hi I'm going in for my surgery on the 28 a day after you and I am so scared. I've read allot on recovery and still I'm scared. Surgery is on a Friday but I return to work on tuesday so I pray I recover from beginning soreness fast. I went for my consult in June and finally ready for surgery. But I have a question. Could it be that the consult was just of knowledge because I put the implant in my own bra which sort of made no sense being that my bra is a size 34b and I want to be a full C small D. He told me to be that size with my frame I need 400cc but I wanted 425 just to have a little more. Could it be that the doctor will prep me the day of surgery and go over with me the exact sizing as far as in a sports bra. I'm confused because my friend got the size I sort 3of want she's just a bit smaller and she only got 330cc
October 8, 2011
I have my pre-op next week & I was thinking the same thing (about the implants in my bra). I also want to go from a 34 A/B to a C/D. They said 400cc to me too and its sounds too large. However, I do have broad shoulders & wide hips that look wider with small breasts. And TXmomma is right. Sizes look different on everyone. So confused
October 8, 2011
Unless you have absolutely no breast tissue putting the implants in your bra is soooo hard to decide bc with a lot of breast tissue all tge implants make them look big lol! I'm just taking in pic of breast I like size/placement wise to give my Dr an idea of what I'm going for. I'm doing the same with belly buttons lol! I've heard ppl on here who hate their new belly button so I figured I'd bring a few pics :) but I'm sure if you explain in detail to the dr the look your trying to achieve they will get a feel for the best way to achieve what your looking for an make suggestions.
October 8, 2011
Yeah that's what the doctor told me to. He also said I'm a full B almost C because of the way its full. Idk to me I was flat chested Lmao!! Taking pics is def a good idea that's what I did. Your surgery is the day before mine. Are u excited??
October 9, 2011
Omg, your going back to work 5 days later?!? Wow! Your brave! Are you having muscle repair on your tummy? I don't have to have to have any so I'm hoping that will have faster recovery.
October 9, 2011
I am excited and scared. I'm sure the night before I will be a mess. lol! I'm excited to see the finished product. It's been a lot of of hard work getting the weight off, and even now I go to the gym about 10 hrs a week working on toning my arms and thighs. I will post pics soon I need to get a cord for my laptop for now I'm on my cell:( Are you excited for your surgery?!!
October 9, 2011
Yeah only after 5 days because original surgery was suppose to be first week of Nov and I had already got approved so I couldn't take it back do now I'm only able to have 2 days off and work Tuesday to Friday and then off the week after Friday the 4th so at least that's good. Luckily for me I only answer phones and take in money from my contractors so no heavy lifting involved. I'm excited can't wait for the day to get here already everyone is worried for me but I'm a quick healer and my best friend will be staying with me the first 2 days aside from fiance so I hope that'll help out. I'm more scared of the whole going under then the aftermath on pain. I'm sure we'll all be fine and looking good. Before we know it summers here and we'll be showing out ladies off. Lol!!!
October 9, 2011
If you can try and get a heating pad for your chair at work! Your lower back will appreciate it! :) I don't know what kind of TT you are getting but you might have drains sticking out of you so you might have to set aside clothes that helps you conceal it.
October 9, 2011
Thanks for the heating pad idea. Def have to do that.
I'm only going for a breast augmentation...

October 9, 2011
Ohhh gotcha! Girl you are going to be just fine then! My boobs hardly bothered me! They sure feel different but not really painful! They do kinda feel funny when you drive for the first time, almost like they get in the way lol. As a reference I'm a 36D now. I went with saline.
October 9, 2011
I'm totally asking to many questions but here's another one for who ever can answer. I'm a 34b now. I'm getting 425cc going for a full C small D. Does my 34 jump to a 36?? I bought some sports bras my cousins told me to get with zipper in front since incision is going to be undetermined armpit. But I got 34C and I'm not certain it'll fit because I put them on now and they fit now. Lol!!
October 9, 2011
Well I can tell you my experience. I was a 34B. I put 34C on my profile but that was a typo! As of right now I am now a 36D! I roughly got the same size implants but depending on where your doctor positions the implant your size will vary. Just keep your receipts! My doctor gave me a sports bra so I atleast had one bra that fit! Some doctors won't allow you to wear bras the first few days. Instead they will just put a compression wrap on you. I did not go through the arm pit so I don't know if that might cause your arms to be slightly more sore. Also keep in mind that your bra size might change from your first day of surgery because they will eventually "settle" and the swelling will decrease. And never think you are asking too many questions! :)
October 9, 2011
Aghh great to know. Def gotta exchange those then lol!! Thanks for the insight. I'm going below the muscle. I can't wait to see them on me lol!! I'm also going with Saline. I actually leave on vacation on the 4th of Nov praying they drop some sort of swelling in a week at least. Lol!! Gotta buy some heavy ice packs to put on...
October 9, 2011
Well the swollen would be a little less but not much. They will still look good though! The massages your doctor gives is what really will get your boobs to settle. Some doctors will have you start right away but mine had me wait a week. May I ask why you decided to go through your armpit?
October 9, 2011
My doctor specializes in under the armpit. So after doing research on it seems better to do being that I'm getting it behind muscle I've read its better for nipple sensitivity. I guess it has to do more with the fact that the doctor specializes in it and better for scarring.

My surgery is 19 days away!!! Omg!! I feel like this is starting to consume me. I think about it all the time, feelings of guilt due to the expense, feelings of nervousness, excitement, feelings of being blessesd with a husband who would spend that much money and not blink an eye, missing trick or treating with my kids... Ahhhh! So many emotions go into this process at times it's overwhelming. THEN.... I've never looked at breast in my life, and now I can't seem to stop looking at them LOL! I have even gone as far to watch on tube Tummy Tuck and breast lift/augmentation surgery, which I don't recommend lol! I don't know what is wrong with me lol! My husband an friends call
me morbid. Have any of you done this? Tell me I'm not alone:)

You should have a pre-opt appointment before surgery usually a week before and go over exactly what they will do ect. Then they will also prescribe you your meds ect. If you want to go bigger I would discuss it with your surgeon. Every surgery is different, so don't go by what a friend ect got. I have a fried who is my body type/weight an has 350cc her breast look huge, but she had a lot of breast tissue to start out with as do I, but I'm getting a lift with my implants and they will remove some of my tissue. My friend did not have a lift of tissue removed making her implants look huge which is not the look I'm going for. :) Can't wit to follow your surgery:)
October 8, 2011
Yeah I agree I'm confused. I go for my blood work next week maybe I can see doctor that day as well. I'm terrified. The doctor had originally suggested 400cc but they can be filled to 425 so I figured I know a few girls who are always saying they wish they went bigger lol!! So hey might as well do it now. I read on a website there's a way to weight cc off of rice I gotta try it. Lol!!!
October 9, 2011
Lol! I totally did that with rice, and then one of my twins busted one lol! Hope that's not a prediction to come lol! I'm getting silicone so they are already pre-filled to the set CCs,
October 8, 2011
I watched YouTube videos all the time...LOL You are completely normal I assure you:) My hubby would no longer come into the home office in fear of what he might see me watching on the computer. He was so sick of seeing boobs, tummies and plastic surgery info that I thought he might scream.
Deep breath girlie and all will be fine..try to relax a little bit. Go treat yourself to a massage, mani, pedi and a glass of wine.
October 8, 2011
My husband says the same thing Kimmers. He told me not to show him any more boobs. Imagine what his friends would think if they heard that lol.
October 8, 2011
Lmao!! I guess because we are showing them and its ok to look they getting sick of it. Haha my fiance says the same thing. That is to funny!!
October 9, 2011
Lol! My husband always says "if someone went through my phone they would think I'm really sick" he works out of town so I text him diff pics lol! He's the same way so over boob pics:)

My husband is still out of town, and probably will not be home until the day before my surgery. Bummer! He went with me to my consultation, and we were going to go back to look at before and after pictures of surgeries my PS has done to get an idea of the look I was going for. So... tomorrow I am going with 2 of my girlfriends. I'm excited! Each new step is getting closer, and closer to the actual day. I'm not feeling as nervous (today)but my feelings change with each new day lol! OH, and I finally got a computer cord so I can post my before pics tonight. I'm so glad to have all of you to talk to and read your stories, gives me a feeling of ease (unless I'm reading the gone wrong blogs lol)! Well, I will let yall know how tomorrow goes!
