**Post-Op Updates** 150lbs 36A 325 cc Mentor Mod Plus

Ok so I had a consultation today at the Swan Center in Atlanta, GA. I work in the physician staffing world so I had thoroughly researched the docs at the facility previously. It also has helped that 2 of my co-workers recently got their BA from here as well. Which is also what sparked my re-interest in the procedure. I had a consultation when I lived in Savannah but unfortunately equine vet bills were picked over a BA.

Which is my other concern - currently working on training up my first competition horse that I started. He's still gaining some weight and is just learning how to be a normal horse. I'm worried about taking time off from his training and from my own. Anyone else out there ride horses and want to share their story?!?!

I spoke with my provider and she herself rides and has had a BA. So she pretty much told me I could go over the muscle if I wanted but then the implant had a chance to show through if I ever lost weight. Well I'm in the process of it now so I didn't want to risk it. Under the muscle she said if I baby it for 6 weeks I should have full use for riding by week 6. A little longer than I really want to be off the horse but maybe missing the super hot season here in Georgia isn't the worst thing ever. I'm also going to look into having another trainer work my horse once or twice a week so when I'm back up to speed so is he.

Another issue driving the urge to do everything now is wedding season is approaching. I've got Bachelorette parties and weddings fast approaching so I'd like to have them mostly settled in by the time the bridesmaid dresses are on. Right now if I wear anything strapless it has to be sooo tight or it just slides off the boobs. Lovely right?

I'm terrified of anesthesia - I've never had even a minor surgery. The worst I've had is a cavity. Any insight on what I'm looking at here. The procedure will be under General Anesthesia which I highly prefer. Knock me out till it's over.

My consultation I went in and was measured right at essentially a 36B or really a 38A. I need the band width but let's not joke there isn't any boob filling those cups. The doc did say I had good width at the top but noticed that my breasts are more muscle than fat - which I knew since even though I gained 25 pounds (relationship weight) none of it NONE went to my breasts. Pretty disappointing. We played with sizers and she said for my body size I'm average and could go as low as 275 if I wanted a very understated look or as high as 450 if I was shooting for some DD's.

My goal is for a modest C cup since I ride and golf I'd like to not have to completely readjust everything.
Playing with the sizers I put on 300cc and was blown away - all of a sudden there are boobs there! Like whoa that was quite a new look for me. Loved it. Played with 350s as well and I think I'll split the difference. I like the profile view of the 325's whereas I felt like 350s were a little large. I am worried though that I'll lose some of the volume going under the muscle and should just plunge in with the 350s.

I haven't chosen a profile since that'll be more for pre-op and my provider to figure out. She does the whole sit them up and study thing and she takes it pretty seriously. She's had her own BA so she knows the natural look that a lot of women go for.

Any opinions on the Care Credit 24 months interest free versus just putting it on my Amex?

Thanks Ladies!

So I've been waffling since my consult. I wore a loose top like I wear now since there really isn't much to show off. I booked an appointment to go back this Monday and take forward facing photos and try on sizes again. Any questions I should ask?!

These are the initial sizing photos I've got to get front ones - scheduled for that on Monday. Which I think is when I'll put down my deposit for my surgery!
