I am so excited I found Dr. Gray.
My first consultation I thought was a total write off. So much so that I nearly decided against the procedure altogether. At the first consult we were not able to meet the surgeon until after I decided to go ahead with the surgery. We felt the nurse was trying to sell me a product, opposed to informing about both gel and saline implants. The office used a 3D camera to show me the potential out come of the surgery but she was not "as experienced the doctor" with the program. Apparently he would be able to use the program better to show me once I chose to go a head with the surgery and got to meet him. I was told I would likely need two surgeries as my lift would be so extensive, first to lift and 3 months later add the implant and do a second lift. But again she wouldn't know until I decided and I met the doctor. The cost was going to be over $16,000. not including the second anesthetic fee. The experience left me doubtful about having a desired outcome and extremely nervous. I actually thought may be this isn't for me. And also quite a costly surgery with out any confidence. The consultation fee was $100 to meet a nurse.
I decided to get a second opinion form Dr. Jason Gray. Wow what a positive experience. I left educated and confident. My appointment was an hour long and luckily it was the last of his day and he spent 1 hr and 45 minutes going through everything. I felt that he understood my desire of "lift up and out". The appointment with Dr. Gray was exactly what I needed. He gave me the confidence I was looking for so much so that I called the next business day to book the surgery.
I have a 34" rib and a voluptuous bum and want to appear balanced but keeping the slender rib cage. (So far) I have decided on a 300-350 cc Saline Moderate Profile Implant under the muscle. I understand I will still have lots breast tissue after the lift and hope that will hide any rippling effect. I chose the saline (again, so far) because I tend to be a worrier and felt these would be a safe choice for me as it will be obvious if a rupture happens. My wish is to have minimal gap and "perfect" nipples. My remind me of fried eggs currently.
There is only 5 weeks until my surgery date. So I have 5 weeks to do a few pushups and eat healthy to ensure good healing. Currently I am 136 lbs and have not been diligent about going to the gym for the last year. I am totally motivated to whip my but into shape for the next few weeks, also with the knowledge that there will be 6 weeks after with limited movements. I am hoping to find stories similar to mine as I have no idea what to expect and what to pack, use for healing, bra types and I am open to all advice and ideas. eek its happening so fast.......

Getting a little more real today.
Feeling really unorganized. I wish a had an easy "to buy" list. Picked up my pre surgery sponges today, button up pjs, button up (loose) tops and two sports bra (for months down the road). Tomorrow and the weekend is focusing on the post surgical bras. Hopefully I can order in time.
5 Days pre op. Feeling a little calmer…
5 Days pre op. Feeling a little calmer today. Ive been so excited I could barely talk about it, I am afraid Ill wake up and its just dream.
I laid out my post opt supplies to see what I have, I can't help but think I am missing an essential. Speaking of which I have been taking the following vitamins for the last month: Vit B stress complex (with Vit E and C), Vit D and Ferritin (iron) I am naturally super low in iron and thought it would probably be beneficial to avoid extra bleeding and limit bruising. I have also massaging my chest with Vit E oil to prepare the skin for a foreign object. I noticed when I push my breast up and the skin tight I can still see my puberty (white) stretch marks. I am hoping the oil will help with that pre and post op.
Anxiety.... ha! interesting thing. It seems to manifest in funny ways. I am currently a pycho cleaner. My poor family has had to deal with me waist deep in the cupboards, lost in closets and throwing old paper around the office like confetti. Waiting for surgery has made me reflect a bit on myself. I NEVER sit down. I think the thought of having to sit still post surgery is making me the most stressed. It feels like I need everything organized and cleaned (like no one lives here) to be able to feel ok to relax and feel free to binge watch Game Of Thrones, Outlander and Son's Of Anarchy. I already feel guilty that my family will have to take on some of my duties, lol because I know ill be barking they 'need' to be done and maintained. I learnt a post-op limitation yesterday while house cleaning without a bra yesterday..... I have a top loader washing machine and well I squished one of my saggy boobs trying to get a bloody sock from the bottom. So for post op I will have to either get my husband to help with that or place a set of tongs in laundry room, just in case! (wow I just can't wait for perky breasts, even when I was an adolescent I have never experienced youthful breasts. I have dreaming of this since puberty 18 years ago. I feel so blessed that my husband is so supportive. He has always said he is happy with my breasts he says he loves every part of me, but I can tell he's getting excited too. During the consultation his only input question was if there was nipple sizing choices and shared his preference for tooney sized areoles (that works for me!).
Today I am hitting my cleaning list again, my focus is the garage and recycling. Tomorrow is the costco grocery shop. I imagine it will be a bit before I can grocery shop. If I let my husband and son do it, we will be on a meat only diet....... and the odd potato.
At the beginning of my post I stated I am a little calmer today....... I have been so anxious that I have feeling quite overwhelmed as of late, I am a mom, wife, and manager at work. preparing for time off has had me spinning. So much so that I have scared my period away (which I will ask a question about). My mom suggested this buddha meditation group last Tuesday to try and calm me down a bit. Well I was in trouble and told to sit still in the first 4 minutes (I wanted to rip that woman face off, figuratively speaking for course). It was an experience, I was totally uncomfortable in fact I think my anxiety switched from surgery prep to stress if I was meditating the right way. But in the end there was a reflection tea time after and I realized in that two hour session everything went away. Theres another group next Tuesday there is another group I am considering will be beneficial before my surgery. Yesterday I completed my two last big organizing projects in the house which has me feeling more relaxed and calm.
And on that note I must start trudging through the garage! ......... Cheers
