Well, I've been dreaming of being a "complete"...

Well, I've been dreaming of being a "complete" woman for a long time and as of last summer, I finally set the wheels in motion. I consulted with a few PS and made my decision. My deposit is in, flight, hotel and car booked, and I am eager to pack my bags!!! With only 11 days to go, I can't believe it's actually gonna happen!

I am 5'7", 28yrs old, no kids, 36A+/B-!! I usually buy a 36B but cant ever fill it.
I'm trying to decide between going to a full C or full D. My initial thought was a full C would be "enough". After much research online and discussing with friends that have had a BA, most say to go to a D. My girlfriends know how active I am in sports and outsdoorsy activities and the biggest worry to me is that i dont want it to inhibit my current lifestyle. I want it to be a great addition to me, not a shortcoming on 'things i love but can no longer do'. Hmmmmmm...... what to do.

My BA is coming up fast and i will be flying to Encino, CA to get this done. I've taken two weeks off work, I hope i wont need it all, but just in case.

Thanks so much for all the insight. After looking at two great websites for comparison shots of before and afters from A to C and A to D. It seems that all the A to C girls were 100-120lbs. The A to D category were girls more my height and weight. Is this more common, because we are "bigger" girls in general. I definetly dont feel like i look 145lbs but, that's what the scales say. So, what to do. I'm gonna ask a few girls at my work about their experiences!! I think I want a full C at minimum. I want my side view to have a little to show in my shadow, if you know what I mean. The difference between Full C and Small D is only a few tablespoons-worth. Thanks.

Hi again brat~ FYI - Mine feel pretty heavy at a C cup, so I'm very  glad I did not go bigger. I love to work out and hike,etc and I think a large D cup would be cumbersome. I personally believe "less is more"....lol If you are very active then I'd suggest you stick with a C cup. you have a pretty figure by the way...I have a feeling you will look AWESOME whether you choose a C or D .....Good luck & I look forward to seeing your post op piks soon!! ;))

thursday 16th: Fly home with my new tatas!!!!

My thoughts are for me to go to a D as well. Are you very active? I've never filled a B, let alone know if a D will be "too much" for my activities. I play beach volleyball, swim, scuba, rollerderby and hike a lot! I dont want them to be too heavy either...... I'm so unsure. half my friends say get a C so you dont look too fake and my other half say get a D cause everyone wishes they went a little bigger. I dont want to get out of there and say, "[RS bleep], i should of listened to so-and-so and gotten the other size!" I also want a bit of projection from the side view. Most of the C's that you see have little to no boobage that pokes out from their chest wall. I'm looking or 2inches at least. I feel like i can be talked into anything by anyone at this point as long as they look good and i'm happy. I just have no idea what they'll turn out like. ok, this is just going on an on, pointlessly. Thanks for letting me vent!!! we'll talk soon. OH, and do you have a list of things that were suggested to get for your post op?
