Well I can't post a review yet, but I might as well start a record! I am checking this board more and more now that my date is locked in (12/19/16) and can't wait to compare experiences. I'm attaching before pics, with and without bra.
I have 2 kids, combined I breastfed for 4 years! My boobs are actually a little better now than pre kids, seems I got to keep some of that volume.
Hoping for a subtle and natural look, similar to my now with bra size but without the padding and under wires. Trying to decide on size and round vs teardrop.

Hi there!
I'm also looking to get a BA done in denver. I'm just now starting to look for a Dr. If I may ask why did you choose yours?
November 9, 2016
I started out with 3: Dr Zweibel (my choice), Dr Vath (who a friend loved), and some guy in Boulder whose name I can't remember. I saw Zweibel first and had a great experience in his office, good connection, loved his staff. The next week I went to the guy in Boulder and had a horrible office experience-walked out before I met the dr! His staff was awful. I never could get an appointment with Vath, his schedule was so tight and they weren't very accommodating. So there you have it.

Official!!

I had my pre-op today and paid my balance, so I feel like this is finally official. I was still a little undecided on size so I checked out a couple sets for sizing. My PS originally recommended 390cc, but I also took home a smaller set for trying on. My husband really enjoyed this exercise ;)
Since all of my bras are padded I had a little trouble finding one to test them with, but I finally found a soft stretchy sports bra. I think I'm going to go with the 390cc. Here are photos wearing the 400cc.
These are rounds and I'm getting teardrops, so obviously the final outcome will be a little different.
I've been all over the place about whether to do round or teardrop. I really like the look and shape of the teardrops, because I'm going for a subtle and natural look. The nurse at the PS office actually had rounds taken out and replaced with teardrop, and she told me all about her reasons AND showed me all her photos. I thought that was really nice.
So here are some pics of me with the 400cc sizers. I wanted to wear them under a regular t-shirt to see what they look like with clothes. Gonna go try on Bras at a store too before I return them!

Talking to the kids?
COYippieGirlNovember 26, 2016
I've spent lots of time on this forum hoping to learn what other people told their kids about their BA. It seems like nobody really talks about it?
Today I told my 5 year old daughter that I'm having surgery right before Christmas. She was a little concerned at first. The I told her the doctor is going to put pillows under my boobs to make them more fluffy, which she was very excited about. I'm getting a pain pump and am worried about the kids knocking it out, so I told her I might have "straws" for medicine (that what they called the IV when she was at Children's Hospital). The thing she was the most disappointed about was when I told her I won't be able to pick her up for a while. Last I told her that just like we don't talk about our privates to people, we keep mummy's secrets for our family. I'm still not sure if I handled that part right.
I also have a 7 year old son. I'm planning to talk to him separately.

Hi. I just had my boobs done 3 weeks ago. I have 2 boys 11 & 9 and my husband sat them down and told them exactly what I was having done and because its mums body its up to mum to tell who she wants and not for them to say anything but if someone asked (as I had to tell their school that I was having a small op) they were to say that it was just a mummy operation. They have been really good about it all.

I'm also scheduled dec 16th for a revision surgery. My son is now 3 and barely starting to understand something like this. I had my initial surgery beginning of this year and he had no idea because he wasn't talking. I'm still trying to decide what to tell him!

I don't have kids, but I would be very careful how much info to share since sometime kids tell everyone! @conluck I like how your husband did it though, and coming from him to your 2 boys is probably the best, showing them
That dad isn't judging what mommy wants to do so then the boys shouldn't either! Mommy surgery is a great thing to call this for u guys! Good luck!!!
