Pre-surgery appointment-Surgery in 2 weeks

It’s been a year since I joined this site and I’ve been obsessing over when I was going to get my boob job. My appointment is 2 weeks away. Today I have my pre-appointment at 2:30 PM. I’m glad that I decided to get my breast done in April because I’m pretty active fitness wise and staying active helps me avoid seasonal blues (I live in Michigan). I run 25 miles a week and I go to the gym at least 4 times a week. Now that the weather is changing and it just barely became Spring, this is the perfect time to have this surgery. I found this doctor because he did. Groupon and the work that I’ve seen form him and his reviews have been pretty great. Why not?

I went in yesterday for my pre-surgery appointment to sign paperwork. Everyone seemed very nice and polite. Kind of a “we do this all the time” feel. I’ve stopped working out my upper body just because I saw that other active people on this site stopped a two weeks prior as well. (I’m going to continue running until the day of because that’s my thing ; )
I have literally been pouring over this site for year and have gotten so much useful information that I feel well prepared and want to pay it forward with my review. I’ll also post pictures today.
(Forgive my grammatical/spelling. The Real Self app is very temperamental)
Here are my stats:
5’9
African- American (I do not have a history of keloid)
165 pounds
Athletic build/Pear shaped (small top/big booty)
Runner/weight train 4x a week
Getting 425 Naturelle UP

Do you mean UHP when you say UP? Did the PS tell you at anytime you needed a lift or to consider one? I just noticed on your last post (1 ypo) you stated about having a snoopy deformity? I would of had that too but my PS told me a lift would eliminate that. I think if he/she didn't make you aware, I'd look into the revision policy to esp fix that one side that droops. Maybe the PS would be willing to work something out with you. Since you enjoy running, I hope you wear a really supportive sports bra or some ladies double up on them. Don't be scared of lift scars bc over time they really fade and aren't as noticeable as you think. I even had major healing issues that resulted with 2 large open wounds under each breasts at the T junction. I could of had my scars revised but I've just allowed them to heal naturally. You can read my review anytime. Glad to hear your enjoying your results. Thanks for sharing your journey with us on RS! Take care and stay safe during this pandemic.

Yes, I meant UP. He did mention that I would need a slight lift in the beginning. I just wanted to take my chances. It's honestly, a very slight "Snoop" lol. (I'll take more pictures) I have read though your review and frankly it scares me everything you went through. It seems like you went through a lot, over years or many months . You are one of the most thoughtful reviewers on here and I appreciate your insights and honest review, but your review gave me pause even thought I know lifts are necessary t imes. My breasts look natural and honestly the implant, even at a year, feels like it's correcting the light snoopy itself by gravity. (The implant is moving down). My implants were pretty tight in there because I was working out my pecks like a crazy person beforehand #dumb . Good point about the running. I honestly don't even notice my boob anymore during. run. Victoria Secret bombshell plus another sports bra on top is perfect. I really don't want to get to revision on top of revision for perfection. I told myself in 5 years if I want to go bigger, I'm probably going to DR. Eugene Kim In LA and do what he advises for my goals. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Wow. Why can I say? I’ve been lurking on this site for a year and finally around my birthday, mid March, I just picked up the phone and called the office to get in the next possible pre-op and surgery date in April. I remember being super nervous about making that call. It seemed so life changing on a whim.

Just a refresher:  41 years old (sounds so old, ha!)  Married No children 5’9 165 Possibly 375-425 implant.  Athletic (I run 30 miles a week/lift weights 4 times a week)  

I have always wanted breasts to match my butt. (Love my butt ????????)  Went to the grocery store today and started feeling anxious/excited, like this is really happening. Posting wish pictures today. Drinking tons of water leading up to the day.
