This is a long time coming for me but I'm very excited and as it gets closer I'm starting to get nervous. Why did I schedule my surgery out so far?? lol Admittedly during the consultation once we got to the part where we were talking numbers it all just happened so quickly. Getting the financing and picking a surgery date my husband said I just kind of sat there dumbfounded and kept nodding my head in agreement to questions. haha! Good thing he was there to keep me from agreeing to something I shouldn't. lol I'm totally the type of person that doesn't get her hopes up for anything, ever and when I went in said...and still keep saying...that it's not a done deal until I'm waking up from surgery. My Pre-Op is on the 3rd, so that is the final step before surgery. Keeping my thoughts happy and remembering to remain excited despite my nerve because this is something I've wanted for a very, very long time and I deserve it.

Pre-OP 4 more Days!

So I have 4 more days until my surgery and I'm super stoked. Finally letting myself get excited!

I had my Pre-Op Appointment on the 3rd of September and finalized all the details. talked about my expectations and listened to him talk about all the scary stuff. I've been stressing big time about doing everything right before my surgery. I'm a super worrier and think about all the very worst of the worst happening. lol My husband and friends have been amazing with me and talking me off the ledge. Many times.

This week though I figured I'd be a basket case but I'm surprisingly calm. Then again we aren't at the night before yet. lol Who knows how I will feel Thursday. The biggest thing I'm stressing about is the anesthesia, that is kind of freaking me out. Having a tube put down my throat to help me keep breathing doesn't set well with me. lol Oh well, I wont be awake for that part anyway so stressing about it wont help...but it's still at the back of my mind.

The details are 350cc Right, 375cc Left. To help even out some asymmetry I have due to the concave in my chest wall. Silicone Gel, High Profile, Under the muscle. I'm hoping to go to a full C, but I'm worried that I'm not going big enough. I feel very blessed and fortunate to get to be doing this. This time last year this wasn't even a possibility for me so I want make sure I don't end up disappointed in the end, my husband is so awesome to let me spend this much money to help make me feel more confident and look on the outside how I feel on the inside. Of course he doesn't think I need any of this, but he's so awesome and understanding that he knows how much I want to feel like a woman again. =)

So, so, so excited and ready! Come on Friday!

After a lot of thought I've decided to add a couple of before photos because I know I will want them later when I want to remember where I started.

So excited for you! I'm jealous your surgery is so soon. I think the size you chose would get you to a C. I/m going with 397's and hoping for a D. How tall are you? I heard the taller you are, the more the cc's get eaten up.
September 16, 2013
I can't believe it's at the end of the week. Lol I've been in this process since the 1st of August. Sometimes I wish I'd scheduled if sooner. I'm 5'4 but I didn't know that the taller you are the more you should get. I plan to ask him if he thinks I should go bigger before I go in.
September 17, 2013
The part that sucks is it is so hard to tell if you pick the right size. 400 on one person might look small and on another so big. It's confusing lol
September 17, 2013
Oh man, it really is! I completely trust my doctor and his recommendations. I think what I'm experienceing is a little boob greed. Lol I hear that's natural so I'm sure ill get in the right space abt it. Like I've been saying, almost anything is better than what I have now.
September 17, 2013
Yes I completely agree lol. Check out the breast forum called just breast implants. Between that forum and this one, I'm researching boobs all the time!! haha
September 17, 2013
I have been, I'm so obsessed with the before/after photos. Lol When I'm on my iPad my husband laughs and asks if I'm looks at boobs again and I say "Well of course!" Haha! It's all boobs all the time right now.
September 17, 2013
Hahaha I'm the same way.. My boyfriend actually said he's sick of looking at boobs lol
