I'm 14 days out from surgery, I've constantly email'd the amazing receptionist time and time again to make sure everything was going to go right, I'm getting blood work done on monday and filling prescriptions the day before surgery....Im feeling very nervous. I'm going with HP Saline Unders 350-375CC's I've got enough breast tissue that there will be little to no rippling and i'm hoping to come out with a full D maybe a small DD

I got my bloodwork done today and lets just say that completely sucked the life right out of me and was NOT fun....They took 4 vials of blood to do all kinds of testing before my surgery which is NEXT FRIDAY, Im beyond excited at this point for it to be all done and over and I can enjoy new boobs :) I will definitely keep updating this the closer I get.

Ahhhhhhhh tomorrow's the day I join the land of boobies!!! I'm excited and nervous

My surgery went wellI got to the surgery center...

My surgery went wellI got to the surgery center around 10am last Friday, I didn't go into surgery until 2:30 after all the waiting I was so ready to go into surgery they places my IV into my hand (that was painful) then proceeded to put a warming blanket on me for when I'm in surgery to keep me warm! The doctor and I finally made a decision of going with HP, saline, unders, 300 cc implant overfilled to 400! After surgery I as groggy and in severe pain they have me 2 pain pills and sent me on my way, I couldn't get out of bed or really walk by myself for 3 days thankful my boyfriend was with me. Every two hours he had to lift me out of bed so I could move around or use the bathroom. Christmas I started feeling great actually. I went and got measured at Victoria secret and I am a 36 D but I'm waiting to D&F to see if I get smaller or bigger! Fingers crossed

Great review?

I was actually looking on real self and started emailing with Kelsey the receptionist she's been nothing but amazing and Dr. Lester was the most honest doctor i've met with out of all 5 consultations.

Your boobs look awesome!  How are they feeling, starting to soften?  You have a lot of upper fullness which looks amazing!
