Hi Ladies, I am exactly TWO weeks away from my BA...

Hi Ladies,
I am exactly TWO weeks away from my BA & Lift. I have been wanting this for at least 5 years now as I am not happy with my size & shape after having my daughter (Now a teen) & losing weight after having her. I am quite healthy & fit and love dressing up, but feel really limited to what I can wear up top as I try to hide my shape, or fit in a padded bra. People have actually looked surprised when I've said I'm having the BA as they presume I already have decent sized boobs. I guess I've been pretty good at faking it all these years! I cannot wait to go shopping & feel comfortable in backless, or thin straps! Not to mention more confidence when naked.
After the consult where I chose my cc's, I freaked out for a couple of days about whether I'd chosen the right size. This website has been great in reminding me to trust your surgeon & go with your first instincts so you don't have regrets. I was swaying between 385cc & 415cc, but I've learned that is really not a lot of difference, so I've gone with my first choice of 415cc. I don't want to have to go back too soon just because I wish they were bigger. I'm a petite size 6, but I want that DD full look. I don't want to look seriously [RS bleep] mansion - but almost ;) I actually have broad shoulders - another thing I hide with careful dressing, so 415cc should be just right!
I have begun preparing for before & after surgery. My fiancé will be taking care of me for the first 5 days, but I want to make sure I have as much as I will need in an organised spot right by me. I bought a $19 trolley/shelf on wheels that can be right near me with my meds, books etc on it.
I will add my list of items down the track in case it's of any help to others :) I am super prepared & super excited!!! No before pics - I am not brave enough, so you can have my wish boobs instead :)

What size are you starting with? Im a 32A probably, and was also driving myself crazy debating btw the 385 & 415's. Now I'm freaked out that even the 385's will be too big!! My goal is a full C (34C/32D) tho.
Hope the surgery went beautifully!! Are you happy w 415's?! Post some updates/pics if you're comfortable! Happy healing =)

Morning! I'm not entirely sure what size I was before as I wore such padded bras for ages. I think I was supposed to be a 12B bra. I'm size 6 body & super happy with the 415's. I might be brave enough to put pics up today, but not before shots as I just hate them so much. Thanks for your message x

My surgeon expects that with 415cc HP, I'll end up a DD. Apparently there's only around a tablespoon of difference between the two. my surgeon got me to focus on the look I wanted to achieve, rather than focusing on size. Do you have any friends you can compare yourself to? I compared myself to my best friend who has a similar body structure & DD's & knew I'd be happy with what she had! Good luck!

I just tried the sizers, and realized 325 was too small for my frame/height but loved the look of the 350s' - so I went with 385. Had to be HP bc i have a relatively low BWD. I know the diff is minimal btw 385/415, but i was still panicked so i went with my gut.
I saw your pics - they look gorgeous on you already. Congrats!!! Hope you have an easier time with the nausea in the coming days - did PS prescribe a nausea med for you? They were a life saver after my last surgery!! This is kinda gross, but if you really cant keep anything down they even make the meds in a suppository. haha. good luck hun, keep posting pics - love to see how they settle!!

Thanks sweet - yes, you must go with your gut! I've only actually thrown up once, but feel nauseous when the meds set in. I'm hungry, but don't feel like eating. I'm making myself eat today though & once I start, I get the appetite for it & it helps the sick feeling. I'm not surprised I've been struck down with belly aches, etc though. I'm 31 & I still get car sick! I really want a shower, but don't want to get cold and shake. I might wait until tonight when the heater is on.

I forgot to mention that I have also started to take Vitamin C & B tablets as my surgeon said it can help prevent bruising :) I'm taking one a day, but will up it to two a day next week.

Hello L.A.M.A111, I am so happy to hear that! The lift part is probably what I'm least knowledgeable about. Dr. Higgs has given me lots of info, but as each procedure is so individual, it's hard to gauge the results. How was recovery for your lift scars? what was recovery like for your whole procedure? I'm trying to prepare myself to not expect them to be amazing straight away. Dropping & fluffing is a process.

If you check out my profile there are lots of pictures and comments about my journey. TIME is a big factor i expected great results straight away. And definitely had some tearyb moments but by 3 mths they looked fab. My scars are hardly noticable. Cant wait for summer.

Add "bendy" straws to your list :) And for tops - if you will have drains (mine were in for 8 days with my lift) - I bought a workout type zip up top with pockets on the INSIDE of the zip up jacket which was perfect for holding the drains.

I'm feeling prepared for next week.. I can't believe it's next week! Today I go for my urine test to make sure I'm not pregnant (no chance unfortunately as I have PCOS)
I have also finished depositing the fee :) the receptionist suggested I transfer a couple thousand a day as so many women don't realise that their banks have limits & then it's stressful on the day. I went & bought some gym pants yesterday for my first week of recovery - I want to be as comfy as possible. All I need now are some more zip up jackets. Having trouble figuring out what tips to wear as button ups & zip ups are usually dressy & I just want to be neat & comfortable at home.
9 days... Whoa!!!
