I have been wanting to have my breasts enhanced...

I have been wanting to have my breasts enhanced ever since I stopped breast feeding. I was lucky enough to exclusively BF both of my babies, so I often joke from the financial aspect, the "girls" earned it! I recently started getting back into fitness, and wanted to wait on the BA until I completed a half-marathon. However, my husband wanted me to consider it sooner (go figure!). After talking to the Dr, I became super excited and could not wait any longer, either! I am nervous about the recovery, but all in all, so ready to do this!

Good for you for booking your surgery! But when is the half-marathon? ;) Glad you're sharing your journey with us. Looking forward to your updates!

So excited for you! My surgery isn't until November so I'm living through everyone else...lmbo! I ran a half last April and do have to say with your downtime you're training will have to start over completely but it'll be toooootally worth it for the new ladies. :)

Congrats on completing your half! I have trained for two prior half's but never completed one - injury halted the first, and my son had a freak illness (thankfully he's perfectly fine now), which halted the second. So I figured lets just do *this* and then re-learn how to run with bigger "girls"! :)

And I feel for you waiting so long. I bet the anticipation is getting to you! I look forward to seeing your progress as well.

Yes! I spend SO MUCH TIME on here! My friends and husband are so tired of me. hahahaha!

Haha! I love that you "paid" for your surgery in advance through saving money breast feeding two babies. Perfect! And you are so right! :D

2 Days Pre-op and nerves are getting the best of me

I have been so excited about the procedure; however, now I am second guessing everything. It started with the size (which I know i will be happy with), and now I am dreading the down-time so much I just want to call it off. I have 2 littles (4 and 5 - 1/2 yo), and the idea of them not being able to depend on makes me want to cry. My husband is fantastic, and I know he will be just fine but I am their mommy. I hope this is just typical pre-op jitters.

I'm sure your nervousness is normal and honestly it probably won't be as bad as you're thinking. Your babies are at an age where they can help themselves quite a bit so the downtime will be a breeze! Just soak it in.... Can't wait to see your results!

Day of treatment

"B-Day" (aka surgery day)

Today at 8:38 I walked the threshold of the OR. By 10:10 is was headed to my car! Wow it went by so quickly! Albeit I'm sure the good meds are still in my system, but all in all I feel pretty darn good! I've been up walking, and even enjoyed some time on our back porch.

My dr called an audible and decided that due to my assume they he would like me to consider 25 cc larger in my L breast. So we went 500 / 475 cc. Although I knew to expect this (because of lurking on all of your reviews), I still find myself shocked at how high these girls are riding!

My husband has been super awesome! Even surprised me with a lovely "happy boob day" bouquet.

Well that I all for now. I will update again later.

Attached are my before photos.

Assume = asymmetry (poor spelling and auto correct don't play well together).

Woo! How are you feeling?!

Aside from some tightness, I am feeling rather well! I have been cautious, for fear it's just the pain meds giving me a false sense of confidence. ;-)
September 16, 2016
Thinking of you! Hope you're feeling well.

Thanks girl. I need to post some updated pics. I'm overly critical of the process, but I know I need to exercise some patience. ;-)

Just about 2 more months for you! I bet you are getting excited!
