After years and years of mulling over the idea of...
After years and years of mulling over the idea of breast augmentation, I have finally decided to take the plunge and dive headfirst into it! My surgery is set for October 19th, and while it seems so FAR away to me (I don't even think I truly understand the impact that it will have on the rest of my life), I know the date will creep up before I know. Especially since I am planning to keep busy until the time leading up to the surgery. Otherwise, I'm going to go crazy!
I am slender and relatively tiny, only 5'5 and approximately 113-115 lbs (it fluctuates). I am not even sure what my REAL bra size should be. I know I should go get sized but I'm too embarassed to ever go to Victoria's Secret to get it done. But currently, I seem to fit in a 32B or a 34A. I will post up pictures of my "BEFORE" and subsequently, my "AFTER" pictures as the surgery approaches and is done with. I'm really nervous! There are about a million and one things running through my mind. And I find this site so helpful in assuaging my concerns...as well as mentally preparing me for the after-math of getting my breast implants.
The reason why I titled my post as "Keeping my promise" is because I made a promise to my family that I would wait until I was out of college to get any type of surgery like this done. (I either wanted to get my breasts done or my nose, but I feel as though a nose surgery would dramatically change my appearance. And for the most part, I love how I look!) I am at a point in my life where I feel BOTH emotionally and financially stable. Hence, this is why I am getting the surgery that I have always wanted! :)
I haven't told them about my decision since I know they will be disapointed in my choice. I'm not too worried about it because I am a grown woman, and I have control over my life now. I have paid all of it off in cash, with MY OWN money so I don't feel as though I owe anyone an explanation and am not seeking anybody's approval.
That is all for now. I will continue to update as the date soon approaches with more of my thoughts and feelings. Thank you, ladies, for being such a loving and supportive community. I don't feel nearly as alone as I had before I found this wonderful community! Much love

10/4/12
Well, it's only 2 more weeks until my big day. The odd thing is that I have only told 5 people about my surgery thus far. That's not what is so odd. What's strange is that only 1 of the five people is a girl. The rest are my close guy friends. I don't know about you ladies but I don't feel quite comfortable telling my girl friends yet (I don't have very many to begin with, most of my friends are male). I don't want to have to deal with the eye rolling or the "Why? Your body is fine the way it is!" How many times have we told another female that to be polite? I don't want any sympathy or hostility directed toward me. This is something that has been on my mind for a VERY LONG time. It's not as though I rushed into this Breast Augmentation without any research or thought. I have uploaded my "Before" shots today. As you can see, I'm flat as a pancake. Can't wait to try the same sports bra on AFTER the surgery is done! I'm sure the bra will be a much better fit. :)

Ok, so I'm a bit worried. About a week ago, I stopped doing any type of upper body exercises. However, one of my uncles was doing "winter cleaning" and decided to get rid of a lot of his furniture and exercise equipment. Stupid me. I decided to ask him if I could have his ab roller (those things are ancient from the 90's!) Anyway, I had used it about three or four times and somehow managed to pull the tendons in my chest. I'm in so much pain right now. I have iced it for about a week and now I have large patches of Salonpas patches all over it as I type. I'm worried. My surgery is less than a week (it's this upcoming Friday 10/19). I hope this doesn't exacerbate my post-op healing process. I don't know what else to do. I Googled how long this sore of soreness/stiffness will last, and some ppl have said it took them about 2 months to heal up!!!! I mean, normally, I would care since I know the body has its own natural way of healing. But COMBINED with my BA surgery, I know it's going to take a lot longer. Has anyone been in this predicament before? Where their chest muscles were already sore and tender COMING INTO their surgery? Any advice (or even words of sympathy) would be appreciated. I really feel so stupid. What the heck was I thinking doing chest exercises right before my surgery? :( :(
