After years of debating on whether to get implants or not, I excitedly decided to do it. I'm kinda big boned, 5'8", 160 lbs. and have worn a 42a forever. Went to preop yesterday (7/18/12), spent at least an hour trying on sizers (think the nurse got a little agitated) and finally decided to get 380cc hi profile saline implants. She measured each of my breasts width to be 13cm, so the 380 should be a good fit. I wonder tho with my wide chest if they will look to small, but I really want them to look as natural as possible.
The surgery is scheduled for 7/31/12. Started taking the preop vitamins today, they are huge. Now that everything is set to go, I'm getting scared to go thru with it, there are so many 'what ifs'. The odds of something going wrong is kinda high, and with my luck, it probably will, lol.

I've read a lot of the stories on here an the different experiences people have gone thru, I've learned a lot. I'm trying to stay strong with a positive outlook.

Yes, stay strong! You can do this. A 42a bra must be hard to find. I think 36A's are hard enough. Please let us know how it all goes. I'm rooting for you!

Yes, 42a is practically impossible to find. I only have a couple which is fine since I rarely wear them anyway. What works well tho is 38b and just extend the back strap. I reckon I should take some before pics so I can look back and remind myself what I used to look like.10 more days, funny how I can be so anxious yet apprehensive at the same time.

Hello gypsy~ It's important to stay positive! I was a bit worried too before surgery too, but that's completely normal. Just make sure you are surrounded by family/friends that will help you through the recovery process. 380 cc's HP sounds like the perfect size for you. I am 5"10, got 304 cc's and now fit into a very natural looking full C cup. It feels amazing to throw away all the old padded bras and finally look sexxy in lingerie. Keep your chin up & good luck:-)

Hi,
I just came across your profile and wanted to say good luck and Prayers be with you on your day of surgery! I am wondering a few things though, you said that the risks of surgery were high for you, why is that? What doctor did you decide to go with? Everyone gets nervous for surgery its normal, dont worry. As long as your blood work, ekg,etc have came back normal then you will be ok.

All surgeries carry a risk of death. There's always the possibility of complications due to anesthesia, pneumonia, cardiovascular risks such as blood clots in the legs, lungs, or brain, and cardiac arrest, hyperthermia, mild to severe infections, faulty implant, and most of all, human error. Even the best of surgeons and anesthesiologist can make mistakes.

There are risks with everything in life. I could easily get killed in a car wreck on my way to work tomorrow? I could have a heart attack. I could choke on a chicken wing. But that aint gonna stop me from living life to the fullest.

5 days to go, come on already, I hate waiting. Have cleaned the house twice, laundry is done, fridge and cupboard is full of quick easy to fix meals, even bought two new big cushy pillows. Not buying any bras since I dont know what size I'll be. Have hired a nurse to take care of me for the first few days since I'm not telling my family and wont have any of them around to help me. Taking a line from Forest Gump, getting a boob job is kinda like getting a box of chocolates, dont know what your gonna get till ya open it.

Well tomorrow is THE day. I'm so excited, bet I don't sleep a wink tonight thinking bout it. I'll be leaving here early in the morning, its an hour drive into SA and then check into hotel. Have a follow up next day so figured I'd just stay there over night. If I'm up to it, I'll drive home after that, if not I'll stay another night or two. The home care nurse I hired will pick me up at hotel an get to the clinic by 11:30. She will be taking care of me for the next few days. Will post after pics asap.
Wish me luck.

Good luck with surgery! It'll be over score you know it! I would recommend staying at least a night in the hotel after te surgery. Don't think theyre would be anyway for you to drive... Especially if you'll be on narcotic pain meds. So glad you managed to get over your cold feet... This procedure really is one of the best things we can have done for ourselves. Please keep us updated on recovery :)
