About to Be Fabulous at 40! Two Kids, 5'5" 625 cc's saline mod+ unders, went from 34B to DDD! Beverly Hills, CA

I had my consultation and scheduled my surgery today! I met with Dr. Khalil who was highly recommended by a friend of mine. He has offices in Beverly Hills and Westminster, but the surgery is only done in Beverly Hills. He was straight forward and listened to what I wanted. He agreed with my choices (saline, under muscle, 550 or more to achieve lovely DDs) but explained that he would prefer to make the incision at the areola rather than at the breast fold. This is due to the fact that I have a small amount of skin below the nipple and it will be difficult with such large implants to predict where the scar will end up. I trust his advice.

Dr. Khali also pointed out that my right breast and nipple are slightly larger than the left. He will even out the size of the breasts with the implants (possibly 600 on the right and 650 on the left) but the nipple may sit a little higher on the right. He also said of this bothers me we can fix it later. I said I don't mind it being imperfect because it's been this way all along and never bothered me before!

I scheduled my surgery for the week of my daughter's spring break so I don't have to worry about driving her everywhere. I am a single mom with two daughters but my oldest is in college. She will also be home that week so it will be nice to have her help out.

My boyfriend doesn't live with us, but he will be my partner in crime on this fabulous adventure! He is just as excited as I am and more than happy to help, both emotionally and financially! It's wonderful to have my family and friends' support.

I'll post pics later and also more about Dr. Khalil in the coming weeks. So far so good!

My BA surgery is in 10 days! I don't think I could be more excited. I completed the blood work on Friday, which included a pregnancy test. I told the lab technician that was a waste of perfectly good blood, since my tubes are tied! Haha

I've been trying to get as much gym time in as I can so I don't lose much progress during my recovery. I'm also incorporating an anti inflammatory diet in the hopes that I will heal quickly and be back in the gym as soon as possible! Lots of fish, fresh veggies and fruits, whole grains... Limiting dairy and other animal proteins.

I also went ahead and weaned myself off of caffeine a week early! I still get a headache here and there but I'm taking Tylenol for that. And I feel pretty groggy too, but I suppose last week wasn't the best week to quit caffeine with the time change and all.

Some items I've gotten in preparation for post op include a neck pillow and one of those pillows with arms; two cheap 36 band front close sports bras from Walmart; Arnica Montana for bruising and swelling; and lots of soft foods like canned peaches and applesauce. I was worried about the cheap sports bras not fitting, so I keep looking for alternatives. I found an Under Armor 34 DD zip up sports bra at TJ Maxx for $15!

I'm planning to cook and freeze leftovers of some soups and casseroles so I don't have to worry about trying to feed everyone if I'm not feeling well.

Just really excited and can't wait for the next few weeks to fly by!

So I can remember how they used to look!
