Ready to Be Me Again!! Scheduled Surgery June 13th! - Cincinnati, OH

I've decided to contribute to this wonderful forum as this site has helped me so much in deciding to have my implants removed. I got my my implants about 6 years ago when "I felt" like everyone was getting them. I had put on a little weight and felt like if I had bigger boobs then it would help me look thinner. I've always been pair shaped and i got it stuck in my head that bigger boobs would even me out. I was a 34b and decided to go to a full C. When I went to my first post op visit after my breast aug, the doctor took the tape off and I looked in the mirror and instantly knew I made a mistake. They were to big, and I thought they looked like a fat womans boobs. Sorry if that offends anyone but thats exactly what I even said to the doctor. He assured me that they would go down and that they did. I never liked the way they looked on me. Constantly feeling self conscious about anyone looking at them, never finding a swim suit top that fit, strapless bras were never comfortable, bras never fit well the list goes on and on. I miss just being able to though on a t-shirt with no bra around the house. I always have to wear a bra or its uncomfortable, so annoying! So after reading all these wonderful stories I decided to go for it! My doctor told me at my consultation that he thinks after I have children and are done having children he thinks I'll need a breast lift with a small implant. I told him I'm not doing that and this is it for me. I know he's in the business of making people look youthful and giving women perky breast but I'm not interested in having my boobs up to my chin. I just want my old small b cup boobs back. I know that they will never look like they did but I will settle for pretty darn close.

Today I bought an extra small bali sports bra. I just couldn't find a front strap sports bra so I bought one that snaps in the back. I hope this will be fine. Starting to get a little more nervous as each day approaches I know I'll be fine its just the anticipation is what will make me nervous the day of surgery I hope I have a nice outcome like most of the ladies on here. My luck I'll have problems.....but hope thats just in my head. Was looking at all the cute bras today that I'll be able to fit in soon, that was definitely exciting. And I'm definitely looking forward to actually fitting into a bating suit top this year. I had on a bating suit this weekend and was spilling out the bottom of my top at times. I was just thinking to my self, soon you will not have to worry about that!! I have an ace wrap around bandage, would that be something that will help with the tightening of skin? Or should I use ice? And any advice on scar cream? Thank you ladies for any advice!

Had a my last run today since I know I can't workout for about 2 weeks. Just finished cleaning house so I won't have to do it for another week. Made soup yesterday for my recovery. Still finishing up some laundry just getting ready for tomorrow. I'm not so nervous yet, I'm sure when I get there everything will feel more real. I've been talking about doing this for so long and I can't believe its really happening! I wonder how I'm going to feel? I'm hoping just back to myself. Fingers crossed!
