Excited but Nervous~I got my Boobies!!!! (My Journey) - Texas

I have LOVED reading and really relied on this...

I have LOVED reading and really relied on this website. I am 28 years old, mother to one beautiful lil girl whom I breastfed, 5'1, 130 pds, and wear a 34 A(barely). I am short, very athletic build and pretty blessed on the backside. My breasts have ALWAYS been small but after my daughter was born I was amazed at the size they got, 34 D!! I loved em and never wanted them to leave. Sadly, they shrunk back down and I was left with large-nippled, asymetrical, sad lil boobies!! I have always wanted to do this and Im super excited that my time has come! I am scheduled for May 10th and its alot of mixed emotions but mainly Im just ready!! I am worried about the recovery simply because everyone is different and it seems that you cant truly know what it will be like. I have made to-do lists, to-get lists, tips n tricks lists, and on and on!! I did an on-line consultation and will have an in-office consult tomorrow to talk about sizes and what will work on me. As of now I want; SMALL D cup, HP Saline, under the muscle, and IDK about incision site yet!! Seems that #CC's really depends on the person and what works for one person may be too sm/big on another. Im excited to hear about others journey and share mine along the way!!

Went to consult today and Im more confused now!!...

Went to consult today and Im more confused now!! LOL He recommended alot smaller than what I had pictured?? My BWD is 10-11 and he said 275-300 cc would work nicely. Will that still give me a large C, small D that I am looking for?? AHHHHH Soo, now Im waiting for a call back cause I thought of EVEN more questions once I left the office. Stay tuned!!

1 WEEK AWAY!!! Im super excited and cant believe...

1 WEEK AWAY!!! Im super excited and cant believe that one week from now I will have big boobies!! I got a zip-up bra and some comfy button up PJ's yesterday and Im spring cleaning today!! Feel kinda like Im OVER preparing but I know its all necessary....I have my phone consult tom for final preps as my PS is a bit of a drive for me....just ready to get this show on the road!! My GF has a comfy recliner she is not using and so the hubby and I are going to get that this weekend, huge relief cause I was worried about getting in and out of my bed (Its really tall and Im really short so I have to do this running jump just to get in it now). I havent been able to get as much gym time as I wanted due to the fact that my allergies are KILLING me, it turned into a sinus infect. I got meds and am feeling better tho so hopefully I can kick butt till next week!!! Im gonna miss the gym, gotta have my Zumba!!!!

OH MY BAGEEZUS!! Today has come!! I'm sooo...

OH MY BAGEEZUS!! Today has come!! I'm sooo flipping nervous I can hardly stand it!! Bit of a drive to my PS do we are on the road...surgery is at 2:45. Have everything ready at home, my recliner and pillows and all the lil necessities!! Thank goodness I found this site otherwise I would have had NO CLUE all that's needed! I'm just sooo nervous about the pain afterward, I DON'T do pain! Lol I will update asa I can!! YAY for BIG BOOBIES!!! ;-)

It's done and I'm in ALOT of pain right now!! Like...

It's done and I'm in ALOT of pain right now!! Like ALOT! Hurts mainly the tops and on the sides. I'm freakin out a bit cause they look HUGE!!! Hubby says they look amazing already but idk....post op in the am and then home me and my new girls go!! Hope this pain goes away....soon!!!

Day 4****so today is better! Just some soreness...

Day 4****so today is better! Just some soreness and LOTS of tightness! The whole experience has been kind of a roller coaster. I'm struggling with size. They feel huge and completely in my armpits!! The massaging to the middle the doc said would help bring them in but I'm bruised under and on the sides so it's pretty painful to do! I hate the pain meds so I'm trying to take em few and far between so I don't sleep the days away. I just really wanna wake up and LOvE em and that hasn't happened yet :-( My hubby has been amazing from the beginning! He has done everything from washing my hair, fixing my meals, helping me dress, and on and on. I don't know what I would have done without him! Anyone else feel this way?? Most I read love em right off the bat and then say wish they were bigger??!! Idk.....just ready to get out n about and outta this recliner!! Lol

Forgot to say I got saline mod's left-540 and...

Forgot to say I got saline mod's left-540 and right-580. My doctor was Dr. Nuveen in OKC....he was very good and very personable. His staff I absolutely loved!! My nurse Ashley started and finished with me and I loved her! I woke up very emotional from anesthesia and had NO idea why i was crying lol so they were awesome...Dr. N personally called himself that evening to check on me and I thought that was amazing as well!!

Day 5***blah....lol. I felt GREAT yesterday and...

Day 5***blah....lol. I felt GREAT yesterday and prolly overdid it and woke up this morning in extreme pain!! I'm swollen and had to take a pain pill which I stopped taking on day 3. :-( I'm having the hardest time breathing too. That's started yesterday and idk if its the weight or I just need to rest more?? They are looking good. Still swollen and bruising underneath but better. I cheated yesterday and tried on a few bras yesterday even tho I know it's WAY too early but a 36 C and 34 D fit great!!! Right on target baby!!! Lol wonder if they will get bigger/smaller??!!! Just really ready to be back to normal, I'm not the most patient person so.....

Day 8****im feeling great!!! Just a tad soreness.....

Day 8****im feeling great!!! Just a tad soreness....especially in the AM. I actually went and laid out with a friend of mine today (incision was covered) and it was super relaxing!!!! The girls are looking great and feeling softer every day!! Still have some bruising :-( and the they are still pretty high but look amazing already!! I still feel like they are big but honestly all my clothes still fit, they just look so much better!! I did get a new bathing suit!! Lol the top was a LG! Yay!! He he I still take regular rest breaks and ice 4-6 times a day cause I am pretty swollen still! Overall all is going great!! I will prolly take steri strips off Tom. PS said I could at day 7-10 so figured 9 days is safe. I'm curious to see how incisions look! My hubby and friends all say they fit my body and look amazing even tho I still feel really top heavy!! Lol

**Almost 3 Weeks** Its been pretty good so far. Im...

**Almost 3 Weeks** Its been pretty good so far. Im still pretty sore in the mornings. I just cant seem to find a position that doesnt hurt when I wake up! :( Im SOOOOO ready to be able to get back to working out and wear a regular bra!! Although, I will say i had a stab of dissapointment when I got fitted and they (got fitted at 2 diff places) said I was a 34 C! No way....these things feel HUGE! Im still not even 3 weeks tho so not gonna sweat it yet!! They are ALOT softer and starting to really feel like they belong to me. I have only had one breakdown day and my hubby was soooo supportive and reassuring. I still LOVE EM! Just ready to get back to my routine....Im a busy girl!

Great review?

Traveled to doc! Did online consult and in office consult day of surgery. Post op next morning and drove home. All future consults are done by email/phone by sending pics and unless something alarms him, no in office visits needed unless I wanted one! Great PS and staff!! Love Dr. Nuveen!

How are you doing ?

Hey nurse~I totally understand how you feel about the pain. Even though I had no bruising and didn't take any pain meds, I still was pretty sore for awhile. The discomfort FINALLY went away after about 3 months..... Btw- you want to wear a D cup...well, if you have 500+ cc's implants that certainly should not be a problem!!!!! I only have 304 cc's and fit into a C/D bra. Give them time to drop& fluff then you will become bigger. Take Care:-)

Your breasts look awesome I'm 2 weeks post op and still very swollen and high. Sometimes I love them and sometimes I'm not so sure. I can't wait for them to drop and get softer. I'm also super sore in the morning and they feel hard will this ever go away?
happy i did it 30 May 2012
You look great! Your right there's no way your a 34C i got 400cc hp and im 34 D/DD. It may be that you are just 3wks out i was fitted at almost 3wks and was told i was 34b. I'm now 6wks out my ps gave me the green light to get fitted it will be true size's. He said the shape will change not the size.

Hello NurseTX
I was wondering if the Dr. initially suggested a lift? Your before pics look similar to mine and my Dr. suggested a lift and implants. just curious if you had the same happen. BTW:Yours look great!
NurseTx 16 May 2012
I went to 3 consults and never suggested a lift. I didnt even have enough tissue to lift! Lol so if ur similar to mine I would def get a second opinion!! Thank u much btw!!!!
Kooberry (RealFriend) 16 May 2012

NurseTx 16 May 2012

I am amazed at all the support and from complete strangers! It's awesome. I feel like all i wanna talk about is my boobs and the few friends that know, well I just don't wanna over do it with constant boob talk! But not here!!!! Lol I am very curious about getting back to gym and how it will work with new additions?!! I'm ready tho, I've gained 4 pds!! What the heck man! Possible my girls weigh 2 pds each? He he

You look great!! I ordered that bikini a few years ago and returned it b/c I couldn't fill it out, looks great on you. My surgery was a day after yours and I went bra shopping today out of curiosity about size, got 330 cc under and was measuring a C/D depending on the store. We are about the same size, BWD 11 5'2 and 112 lbs but you had more tissue to start with, do you think you will end up a full D? How are you feeling?
NurseTx 15 May 2012
Yes I def think it will be a full D, which is good! Idk how much they change from start to finish tho so....I felt great on day 4 but over did it and was tight, sore, and very uncomfortable today so I guess I really need to take it easy for a few more days! How r u feeling??
Kooberry (RealFriend) 15 May 2012
you look great in a bikini! I actually fill out a bikini now too & threw away all my old padded bras...lol Congrats and thanks for sharing your story;)
NurseTx 15 May 2012
Thx kooberry! It's actually a VS top my old boss gave to me last summer when she got her BA and it didn't fit her, I didn't fill it out then but kept it anyways and now It barely fits!!! Lol luv it!!! ;-)
Sissy 48 15 May 2012
I hope you feel better after some rest. I know yesterday I felt the same as you do today . It's all worth it ;-) !
NurseTx 15 May 2012
Pics look great Sissy!! I'm doing better after resting today just frustrated that I had to take pills today and am so sore after feeling so good yesterday! Guess I need to remember I just had surgery 5 days ago...lol. It will DEF be worth it, I know that.
Sissy 48 15 May 2012
I finally have pics on mine now .
Sissy 48 15 May 2012
So happy for you . You look great . I have to wear a band that helps my implants fall into place . :-)
NurseTx 15 May 2012
Thanks Sissy!! No band for me but they are dropping just fine for me...I need a band to push em together so I don't have to! Lol it's kinda painful!!
BTigger 14 May 2012
You look great. I had my first consultation today. I am 5'2 135 pnds. I got you beat - my BWD is 13 =).
The PS suggested 425 cc but I feel that is too big. I just wanted to be a small to full C. Any replies would be great. My Hubby not as supportive. He likes me as I am. I am blessed he does but.....
