When I weighed over 200lbs I had boobs, beautiful boobs spilling over low cut tops...you get the picture.
At 5'11 and 140lbs this is not the case anymore. Tiny little bubbles is all I have left...ffw to where I have been to a consultation and PS is wanting to do ultra high profiles with 450cc.
I have been reading a lot and it seems like taller women normally have medium or medium plus's? I dont have a wide chest, would that be why? Anyone with similar measurements?

Last chest workout before the twins is done ! Ouch! Going to buy some large comfy button shirts and pj's now. Husband has become quiet over the last day or so. Maybe just a bit worried? Our housekeeper lives on my property and not going away for the Easter holidays which is a blessing - she will mother/smother me back to health in no time!

Three sleeps left. Went to see my GP this morning just to check that I am ready for surgery (we are not required to do any blood tests etc in South Africa). Blood pressure really low 98/68, BMI a bit on low side, sugar, cholesterol etc tests will be back tomorrow .
Made a "last minute list" for PS last night...
x No fat /side boob
x Remember I am athletic and do not want them to get in the way, smal(ler) and perkier is better than huge!
x If the breast still shows a little bit of sag after implant - go straight onto a breast lift, no problem!
x Remember - Human inside - I need to live with your decision!
Did I forget anything?
Oh, and I spoke to the theater nurse yesterday, I am the only patient on Dr Hoffmann's list for Friday (Thursday is a public holiday and most people are away) which means I will be in at 07:00 and out by 09:00 am, back at home nice and early!
Less Nervous today! Yeah!

Two sleeps to go!
Just spoke to PS. I have two small hands of fat around the back of my hips and I asked about having lipo in that area only at the same time as BA.
PS ended up wanting to charge 1/3 of the TOTAL price of BA on TOP. We had a good laugh at the office and one of my assistants worked out how many hundreds he is charging per ml!
Looks like I will be spending more time with personal trainer - he is a lot cheaper than lipo!

So it's all falling apart or coming together. Not quite sure. Hubby seem more intent on using the off day tomorrow to run errands around the hospital while I really really need him there.
I'm scared.
And I left all the proof of payments at my office and will have to go back to pick them up. My dream boobie pics also still there. Will have to go back.
Everyone had all these things ready, I seem to be flying by my pants here! Or does it just feel like that?

I cant believe I have had the twins for 24 hours and they are already looking better! Lat night the drains were 84ml and this morning only 65 ml and turning clearer. Stitches are starting to pull, yesterday I was able to lift my arms shoulder height (PS went in underarm incision) and today not quite that high.
Everyone I spoke to was very much against Mentor Ultra High Profiles for a 5'11 woman but they are / will be perfect. I can see now that a wider implant would have looked funny on me and stood out on the sides. I was right to trust my ps.
Still very tired but running the office from my cellphone and computer. Husband gave me a spongebath this morning which also made me feel better!
On antibiotics and I have pain meds every six hours plus Vit C to speed up healing. Feeling lucky to be healthy and fit right now! Squats help me reach things I normally would not have been able to, stomach muscles gets me up from lazyboy and bed etc.
Time for a nap! Meds are making me feel a bit funny.

I dont have tiny bubbles anymore, they are pretty bubbles now! 1 month post op and I love them! They feel funny when working with weights (shoulders).
Somewhere on the net someone suggested sleeping with a pillow to have somewhere to put one's arms and it works! I hug my pillow and that creates a space to put my arms and keep the twins happy and comfy. Wish I knew that right after the op.
