I can't believe I'm finally beginning my journey....

I can't believe I'm finally beginning my journey. I've really appreciated reading everyone's stories. I just scheduled my surgery for December so I suppose I'll start my own review!! I'm 27, mother of one, short/average height and 111 lbs. I'm very narrow and petite (my rib cage is 25 inches around). My upper body is that of a pre-pre-teen but luckily I have a lil bit of a booty. I've always been tiny but after breastfeeding my little prince, I have no breasts to speak of. I'm hoping to achieve a very proportioned appearance to help me look like an adult.
I met with 3 doctors in ATL. I really disliked the first doctor because he was cold. The second doctor was ok. I thought the third doctor would be "the one". I paid $100 for the consultation because he is so popular & he's all over social media. He was horrible. He was very bubbly & friendly, but he completely disregarded everything I told him & talked down to me.. with a smile. He did not let me try one sizers, he did not let me see my Vectra images, & he refused to discuss sizing until the pre-op. WHAT DID I PAY $100 FOR!?? I was pissed. He wanted me to just schedule my surgery but how could I do that without even knowing my possible sizes? What a douche.
So, surprise, I went back to the first doctor! A lot of girls here have posted great reviews for him despite his cold & serious demeanor. I scheduled a 2nd consultation with him just to make sure he knew want I wanted. We agreed on shaped silicone gummies, Mentor, 390 cc high profile (if it will fit!) I really loved the 400 cc sizer on me but my rib cage is freakishly small. My only concern is other doctors measured my breast width as 10 or 11 cm, but this doctor measured it as 13 cm. My breast is not 13cm wide so I guess he included the empty space on my chest that doesn't have any breast tissue? Idk.

I've rambled long enough. Next post will have some before pics & details about my intensive workout regimen that my boyfriend has me on to gain weight before the surgery (want to put on some muscle & healthy fat).

Meant to say my rib cage is 28 inches around, not 25. Really hoping I'll get the 390 cc without having uni- or side-boob.

Life has been crazy. My surgery was set for last December but I cancelled. Money was tight and I needed to figure things out. I had been doing well in the gym, but that progress has been lost now. So far this year I've had a cold, a UTI, the flu, and traveler's diarrhea from Colombia that lasted a week. I've lost a lot of weight, currently around 100lbs I think. I'm slowly regaining my appetite and trying to get my body healthy. My relationship has fallen to shambles but time will tell if it can be rebuilt. This is starting to sound very sad but I'm not here to tell a sob story. I'm excited to finally do something I've wanted for so long. Time to treat myself!
With that said, my new surgery date is April 5. My pre-op is March 13. Im still going with Mentor cohesive gel, anatomical, 390cc, high profile. I'm not 100% sure if this is the right implant for me. I have no breast tissue to start with and my muscle has withered away, so I think anatomical makes sense. I hope they're not TOO firm.
I'm adding some before photos. Need to gain weight!!

So exciting! I’m 5’5, 26 years old and I weigh 120. I am scheduled for my breast argumentation on the 5th as well. However, I’m a 34b and I have breastfed my son for a year so I have extra room to fill. I hope to follow you throughout this journey together!

The same day! Ok yes we definitely need to be surgery buddies lol. They told me to arrive at 12:30 and that my surgery will be at 1:30. Sucks I can't have any food or drink for that long! Do you know your time yet?
April 2, 2018
No, I call the day before. I also meant to say I’m a 32b not 34. I’m hoping it’s in the morning cause I have to drive 2 hrs to get there. I dread the drive home. I have asymmetrical boobs so I chose 500cc for one and he will determine between 420 or 450cc for the other one. I’m so afraid I’m going to be too top heavy.

That's a big fear of mine too because my body is so petite & narrow. Like, I want big boobs but I don't want to look like a lollipop lol! Have you posted before pics?
April 3, 2018
Not yet, but I will soon! That’s my fear as well. But when I was pregnant they stretched out so much because of me breastfeeding. I went from a 32b to 32dd. I just don’t want to look so top heavy. I’m kinda starting to question everything now.

As for me, yes I'm also very sore & hard. My Day 2 post shows me in the ace bandage. I'll take nude pics when I take my shower today. I haven't actually looked at my boobs yet. Kinda nervous to see!
