I have loved coming to this site for a year now I thought perhaps it was time for me to share my own story.Here goes...


I am 27 years old, and have no children. I where is 34 a bra, but that is really not necessary. I should wear smaller, but refuse to do so. I've wanted a BA forever, but thought they were only for celebrities, the rich, and people that live in Hollywood. Then after visiting doctor Bartells website, I realized I could finance the procedure. I was soooo excited! So in October of 2011, I decided that in 1 year, I would get that ba that I've always wanted. now it's time! My pre op appointment is in5 days. my actual surgery is in 20 days! I can't believe I get to say 20 days! finally starting to get very excited! looks like I'll be staying with my
parents for at least 2 days. I'm hoping thats as long as I have to stay there.im really not sure what to expect during my pre op. i think he is going to write on me, but not too sure. i would like to end up being a nice solid c. i will have to get his opinion on that. some people tell me they think that will be too big on me. i am 5'4" and 115lbs. i dont feel like that will be overly huge. i just cannot wait to not look like a 13 year old prepubescent schoolgirl anymore:)

Had my pre-op today. went fine. very quick. he measured my boobs, then showed me pics of girls about my size n asked me where i wanted to be based on that. i told him my goal was to get onto a c, and he recommended 350-375cc. i dont understand cc's so well, so hopefully that translates to a c cup. then he went over the rule list with me, gave me my prescriptions, and sent me on my way. oh and i had to pay my balance in full today. So now i guess its just a waiting game. 15 more days. i hope these next 15 days fly by. im ready to get this put behind me and be on the road to recovery!! :)

Good for you!! I am 5'4" tpp and I weigh 115 also :) I was a 32A. I have mod profile 325cc. I love, love, love them. I am a 34D or a 36C depending on the bra. I love them and wish I had went a little bigger so in my opinion 350-375 will make you REALLY happy!! Good luck!!
