BA Scheduled for June 29th- "After" Photos posted!, 2012! - Florida

I am 41 years old and I am getting my BA on June...

I am 41 years old and I am getting my BA on June 29th, 2012. I can't believe I am finally doing this after 10 years of thinking, researching, deciding no way and then booking an actual SURGERY date! I have become a bit OCD on the the entire process.

My friend said I could probably perform the surgery myself if it was physically possible because I've done so much research! LOL! Luckily I don't have to attempt that because I have found a great PS in Orlando area that will be doing the surgery for me. Now the big question is size which I thought I had all figured out at my consult and then I started second guessing, looking at too many before and after's..... and now I think I should go bigger.

Luckily at my Pre-opt which is schedule for June 18th, I will have the opportunity to try on the sizers again to confirm the size or change it. It's a big decision! I spent a year trying to decide what color to paint my pool bathroom! Imagine the stress of picking the size of your boobs! LOL!

I am 5'5", 123 lbs. I eat healthy, gluten, grain, and wheat free. I workout, run and have two kids. Both girls ages 12 & 15 yrs. I am currently a 34 A. I was thinking (my surgeon agrees) that mentor 300 cc mod plus (silicone) would be a good natural size for me and that they would not get in the way of my active life style BUT the other option was going a bit bigger and doing a high profile 350 cc. I like the look of the 300 cc sizers and I know that they are supposed to come out smaller in "real life" so I am afraid of going too small. This site has been so wonderful. I am preparing for the big day and the recovery period. My hubby asked me if I was prego and nesting because I am cleaning and organizing closets, the pantry...etc....It's therapy for my Boobie OCD! :)

I have my EKG and bloodwork scheduled for Thursday. I hope everything will be good to go. I also have my Mammogram scheduled before surgery since I was due next month anyway. I'm thinking I don't want to have a mammo a couple weeks after surgery. Not fun! So aside from that I have bought some zip front bras from JcPenny's which run way small. I am a 34 A and bought a 38 which fits nice, not too tight where the incision will be. I also found some cute button up jammies at Macy's and a pair a Walmart the other day too.My pre-opt is June 18th.

I'm not sure how my boob's will look but at this rate my house will be looking fabulous! Yesterday I was cleaning out the bathroom cabinets, organized my office....I just can't stop! I have another trip to GoodWill today and the recycle bin. Woo Hoo!

*I will post some before photos and sizer photos soon.

I had the strangest boobie dream. Having a lot of those lately....I came out of surgery all bandaged up and Howard Stern was there and told me to pull my bandage down a little so he could have a look to see how they turned out. LOL! I did and he said they look really good. So funny. I was watching "America's Got Talent" with my daughter last night and oddly enough Howard ended up in my boobie dream.

I'm debating how and when or if I'm going to tell my co-workers and boss. Tricky....I know I should because I may be limited at work and need a little help and I don't want to lie. I think they would be understanding but I haven't been there too long so I don't have that comfort level yet with everyone. Any advice? I do wear scrubs at work so I don't think it would be too obvious but physically they would know something was up. My husband says honesty is the best policy but I dread that "talk" with my male boss. :(
