Had my pre-op today. I LOVE my PS. He makes me feel so comfortable. He took my pictures and noticed my tattoo (I have a huge full back piece) and was like "Wow! Can I see that?" and he asked me a million questions about it. He says he doesn't have any tattoos but he loves them. Then he asked to take a picture of that too. :) He was like a big kid.
So now to the important stuff :) He looked at the pictures I sent over, said that it looks like I'm going for more of a small to mid D. Says he'll bring 325-400 cc to surgery but expects to use the 375 mod +. He said he was really happy with my picture choices because they all have a curve to the outside of the breast and that is pretty much exactly what I'll get. He said some women have breast tissue that ends at the ribcage but mine extends out some and the implant will give me a nice shape that will be very aesthetically pleasing :) Apparently I have a small waist and the extra boobage will give me super curves. Yay me! I told him that I was pretty much over all my concerns except bottoming out. He told me he knows how to prevent that and I didn't need to worry about that. So I won't. I'm only sending positive thoughts into the universe now.
He gave me the rx's Valium, Vicodin, Keflex and Ambien (pain meds make me do the body sleep/brain awake thing). Price was $18 which is a lot better than I expected. The pharmacist decided to have a conversation with me about her sister's aug and lipo. I wasn't really interested but she was holding my meds so I was a pretty captive audience.
The surgery center called and did all my preliminary questions. Working is almost impossible. I can't imagine how I"m going to get through seeing my patients tomorrow, all I want to do is count down minutes until my surgery starts. My poor boyfriend. This is all I have talked about for the last two days. My brain is screaming "boobs boobs boobs" all the time.

It's becoming real! Just sent my "yes" and "no"...
It's becoming real! Just sent my "yes" and "no" pictures to the Dr for my pre-op tomorrow! I've spent all day reading everyone's stories inbetween patients at work (I know I'm not supposed to be doing that anymore, but I can't help it!!) and am feeling more excited than nervous. My sister helped me narrow down my 20 pictures to 6 but we couldn't narrow them down anymore. I'll be able to throw out more tomorrow when I am there, just couldn't do it tonight. I am so ready for this to be over!
2 days 12 hours 50 mins...yay!!

Candacle,
I too struggled with the size, the complications and the pictures I constantly looked at. Then I realized I just want full nice looking breasts. I don't want to be stared at but I want to look womanly. I never was over a B cup even through all my pregnancies. I did the rice thing, have you done that? With the nylons. I measured out what CC's we came up with and wore them around town, out to dinner to the grocery store etc. No one stared at me and I felt really good with them in. Try that, then make your decision. You will drive yourself nuts looking at pictures. Everyone is different. Bottom line, what do you want? I wanted fuller looking breasts that didn't disappear when I laid on my back. I wanted a nice full pole on the top and rounded fullness on the bottom side. I had some sagging so i wanted full profile to bring those puppies up a bit. I am post op day 3 and very happy with the results so far. They are shaping up quite nicely. I am very glad I didn't go bigger and I was struggling with that too.
sorry your parent's are being very supportive. when it comes down to it, it's all about you and what you want. My mother has decided to brag to all that come visit her!! I finally had to tell her to stop telling people (it was upsetting my bf).
good luck with you and your decision!

I haven't tried the rice thing. I don't really have much time at home or outside of work to try it and I think I might die if it fell out on one of my patients at work!
My mom is being totally supportive now that she's sure I'm doing it for me and not my boyfriend. My dad is still convinced it's not going to give me the happiness I'm looking for. Eh, what do men know anyway?
Thanks for the advice!

I'm sure people think the same thing about me, but I am SO happy! And I've wanted this for so long. My bf was totally supportive..(he likes big boobs lol) My parents are fine with it now, and if anyone isn't...then too bad! Although, I'm sure my work isn't thrilled since I haven't been back yet! UGH..but let me tell you, still stretching out my arm HURTS!

LOL @ remodeling the temple, candacle! The size looks great -- not disproportionate and definitely not [RS bleep]-y. And how sweet that your BF has promised to love you no matter what! He sounds like a keeper. :)

He's definitely a keeper :) He likes that size too which makes me feel better about it.

Hiya candacle~Sounds like you have a million butterflies in your tummy!!! I was nervous before my BA too it's totally normal, lol. I think you should follow your heart and go with the size you feel most comfy with. I have 304 cc's and currently fit into a full C cup. Glad I did not go bigger. My results are very natural, did not want the [RS bleep] star look. Good luck with everything. Look forward to seeing your post op piks soon....you're going to look great :-))

Thanks so much :) All you ladies have made me feel so much calmer about everything. It's so great to have a support group!
