Ok, so I am 24 years old, 5ft 4in and 145 lbs, I am pear shaped and have to have a XL bathing suit bottom and XS top. I have one child, a three year old, whom I did breastfeed. I was a 34A pre-pregnancy got up to a 36b while breastfeeding, but after loosing weight post pregnancy, I am now a 34AA (sigh). I have been wanting implants since I was in middle school and everyone else started growing boobs and I didn't. I am sick of wearing VS bombshell bras and am super excited to finally be going through with this. I have been to my previsit and after using the sizers I have chosen to go between 350 - 400 cc. I am hoping that this will get me to around a full C. I am a nurse and am a little apprehensive about going too big and it being very noticeable, but I don't want to be too small and regret not going bigger. I enjoy reading all the reviews on this site and I think it is helping me feel more comfortable with the decision to go for around 400cc.

I just had my first appt and then was told it was last meeting with dr. That really surprised me. Next meeting is sizing. Dr said 300 silicone would be good. I was shocked because I want 400 cc. Or at least that's what I think I want. This crazy! Help!

Hey there! We are practically neighbors. I live in Wesley Chapel, I'm a Registered Nurse too AND we are scheduled on the same day!!! My surgery is at Presby Matthews with Dr. Liszka. The whole size thing has me stressed out. I set my max at 350, now I'm not so sure after reading everyone's posts. We are on the count down...10 more days:)

I didn't know anything about cc until reading these forums. I tried on the 350 and 450 and want to be bigger than 350 but a little smaller than 450 so that is why I'm going with 400. Choosing 400 was a lot easier after looking up picture of people around my height / weight who have gotten from 375-425. I am getting nervous slightly.

Ok so 9 days to go, I'm getting super excited and nervous. I plan on getting a lot prepared this week, laying clothes out, getting prescriptions filled, planning meals, etc. Question... Did you buy bras beforehand, not sure if I should buy a sports bra or not ? I've read that you don't wear a regular bra for weeks so just curious if I should buy some before or after.

Buy a zip up under armor sports bra. I've read they are very comfortable. A little expensive though. :)

I bought a couple of front closure bras (Fruit of the Loom - Front Closure) from Walmart. They were only about $9 each. They run very small so I ended up getting a 38 C (I'm currently a 34), but they are comfortable. I ordered a Champion Zip Tech sports bra, but had to send it back. The medium was so tight. My doctor is going to send me home in a bra. I may wait until afterward to buy another one. I picked up my Rx today. I really need to clean my house. I think I will run out and try to find a couple more button up tops. I don't have many. I am going to do most of my cooking next week. My mother-in-law lives with us and does a lot of the cooking, so I'm not too worried about that. I haven't told her I'm getting the BA, only the hernia repair. Hope I can hide it! Do you have help for afterwards with your 3 year old? My kids are adults, so I don't have to worry about that! 9 days...so excited!

My mother in law is going to let her spend the night for the first 2 nights. I am currently back in school for BSN so I hope to work ahead some this week and definitely scrub the house down really good, mop, and vacuum. I have bought a couple button down tops but am not thrilled with them. I have several soft zip up hoodies that I plan to live in at least for the first few days. I may run by Walmart on my way home tonight to see what they have. It's getting so close and real feeling. Maybe you should start wearing a really padded push up bra now if you already don't so it won't be so noticeable to you MIL. :) I didn't tell my MIL either but my husband did, ha I just didn't want the "your beautiful the way you are, you don't need this" speech.

FYI - I just bought 2 front closure sports bras at the Walmart in the Arboretum. They are made by Danskin and only cost $11.97 each. They are in the bra section on a wall display. If I don't end up needing them, I'll just take them back. Sizes are kind of hit or miss. They didn't have any 34C, so I got 36C. They actually fit pretty good.

So we're getting down to the wire. :) trying to get everything prepared, I'm in online BSN classes so I've been trying to work ahead some so I can relax for a couple days after. Picking up my scripts tomorrow. Gotta calling to verify time of arrival as my dr said may shift around as he originally told me 0900, said it could be as early as 0730. Not too nervous- definitely more excited than nervous. Planning on doing some major cleaning the next two days, only problem with that is I work weekends, so my husband and lil girl will be home for two days to destroy it. Maybe i can restore order when i get home Sunday night. Monday is the big day! Can't wait!

Hooray for us! I wish mine was early, but it had to be coordinated with 2 surgeons (general and PS) and OR (that wasn't block time). I go in to PHM at 11:30 am, surgery at 1:30 pm. Are you at PHM too? One of my good friends is an OR nurse there and is hopefully going to be in there with me (fingers crossed). I have so much cleaning to do this weekend. Ugh! Right now I'm just trying to get over a sinus infection. They called me to go over my medical history and the nurse said they wouldn't do surgery if I am sick. Boo!

I hope the abts work fast! That stinks, hopefully you will get over it by the weekend. I am having mine at Dr Fararris office, not far from you though.

Please post post-op pics! I've read great reviews on Dr. Ferrari and am considering going to him as well. How much are yours going to cost?
Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! I'm glad you're feeling comfortable with your size choice. Are you going with saline or silicone implants?
