WORTH IT

Wanted to do this for a while, nervous about size, shape and recovery. I want to go from a 36G to a 36D or DD. I DO NOT want to end up to small, it won't fit my body type. Kaiser approved immediately.

Doctor is proposing 640 on one side and about 550 on the other.

:) more to come....

I've been wanting to do this since I was 19, and now I'm 35, 5'6, 180.

I am totally over all of the hesitation and anxiety, my date for surgery can't come soon enough. I just want to make sure I look like a full D. I have a boxy shape and long waist, so I want to make sure everything is proportionate.

Also doing side lipo. Who else got this? But I will pay out of pocket for that. I'm waiting for them to get back to me on the out of pocket cost.

I can't even imagine how this is going to feel in two months. I haven't been able to wear normal clothes since I was 16, and my back was awful at 22.

One thing I wonder: once the surgery is over, will I feel better and more motivated to work out? I've had a really hard time with it lately, and I'm wondering if it's because of the pain, or if I need to work harder to get through the workout. How did you girls feel about working out after surgery? Was it easier?

I will hve side lipo as well to make sure it ends up all smooth with no dog's ears:) My friend had it too. She said the lipo site bothered her much more than the surgery incisions,itched like crazy! My date is Nov 19th!
October 29, 2012
I've heard that as well. I hope everything goes well, for you. You're so lucky, your date is almost here! Are you nervous at all?

yes u will feel motivated to work out. i cant wait until i can run and do aerobics again. I want the rest of me to equal my new boobies!!! i didnt have lipo but so far the incisions under my arms arent too bad and ive heard that will get better once i start massaging and doing scar creams.
October 29, 2012
thank god! I feel so bad about not working out lately, but to be honest I feel like i am being suffocated by my boobs. It's making me feel really demotivated. But I only have 2 months to go! :)

I can completely hear you on the shape, size and recovery. That is my only worry is that they are not like my one friend who had it done. I remember taking her dressing off and the entire right breast erupted! Further on in her recovery she showed me her nipples and they were completely lopsided one faced up the other down and were not in allignment with the other. That is truly the only thing that still worries me ever so slightly! She did have a butcher of a PS that I would not let carve a pumpkin little own a person!!

I will be thinking about you tomorrow:)

Hi Kimmers! My doctor left Kaiser so all the dates were pushed back. :( Do you know how I can edit my profile to switch to a different doc? :)

Hi everyone!

So guess what? My doctor left kaiser and so everything has been rescheduled. They have a new doctor coming in and I can't have surgery until April or later. I'm just frustrated at this point. I have almost given up because the wait will be months and months. :(
