My BA is less then 2 weeks away and im starting to realize there is alot my surgeon and I haven't gone over. I've only met him once which was at my very quick consultation, my post op was last week and I was with his nurses the whole time. Is this normal? I feel like the nurses were helpful but now that it's getting closer to my surgery im getting super nervous and starting to question everything. Advice?

Nerve are natural. I have not spoken to my surgeon since my consult. As long as you comfortable with their experience and with your encounter. Gain comfort in research and others experience. Have you join Eden's Bustmob on Facebook? I have learned so much through women that are deciding or going through their surgeries. Best of luck tomorrow!

9 days away from my ba! Some days im extremely excited and other days as posted previously im super nervous and question everything. I'm so excited to finally have boobs but im so nervous for the recovery process. I also hope the 400cc won't look too "fake" or big on me. Anyone have any advice on what I should get for the recovery process? Anything I NEED that I haven't thought of? Comments are appreciated!

Hi :-)
First off, I just want to reassure you that 400cc wont look too big on you.
For recovery, my number one must have was good ice packs!! Its also a good idea to have some laxatives or natural high fibre supplements on hand as many people are prone to constipation after surgery, and I have seen women say that constipation was the worst part of their recovery! Also make sure all your laundry is done and house is clean. If its not, you might stress about it after surgery since you wont be able to do much for a while.
Its totally normal to question everything and feel super nervous. It didn't truly sink in for me until the night before and I was so unsure I almost felt like cancelling last minute! So if you feel this way please know its just part of the process :)
Good luck with everything!

It's 11:56 pm right now so really it's 5 days until my surgery! I have to say I'm feeling quite calm.. I don't think it's really set in yet how soon this is all happening. I'm still batteling the fear that 400 cc might be too big for my taste. I want to stay in the C cup range and being on here I've seen alot of women with 400CCs coming out with DD???? I KNOW I shouldn't be comparing myself to others but it's harder then I thought! I might give my surgeon a call and see what he says about the size since he wasn't there the day the nurse and I went over sizing and I was never told what size the 400CCs would make me.. Ahh. It's crazy how in the beginning of this journey I was more nervous for the surgery part and now with only a few days left im okay with the surgery part and more nervous for my boob size!

We have the same surgery day!!! Congrats on the decision to get new boobies!! Im 27 5'4 128 and getting 400cc on my Right boob and 375 on my Left boob. I was afraid it'll be big too but my PS assured me Ill be happy that I went a tad bigger and ill get a Medium D out of it. Im starting as a 36 B... Well I don't have any boob its just my mid section that makes me a B in my band in bras. I can't wait to see your results!! I have the same mind thinking like you I am afraid it'll be too big but my PS has great reviews and we decided on a size with my measurements, but my co worker who got her breast done at the same PS had Post op A cup and after 350 cc she came out to be a 34C.

Hey sorry I just saw this now. How did your surgery go?! I had mine at 1130 this morning and I was in so much pain when I woke up. I wasn't waking up in recovery so they wouldn't give me any pain medication cus they didn't want me to knock back out
