Hello girls! I have been chatting with a few of you this site has been so helpful like were all going threw our journeys 2gether and have support from each other. Well iv always wanted this since I can remeber way back from teenage yrs getting made fun of feeling insecure having kids and making them look even worse and sad Iv always wanted 2 do this and finally have gotten 2 were im financially able and ready! My kids are 13 and 16 I have a wonderful supportive husband he is not their father but is even better hes just great. I stressed so bad researching and trying sizers and making rice 1nz and having crazy dreams I mean I drove myself nuts lol! At 1st I was going with 300cc right and 325 left then I went 2 325tr and 350lft still freaked ended bup goin with 375 rt and 400 lft high profile natrelle style 20 silicone. Im so glad I did I was affraid theyd be 2 small or 2 big I think I did just right. I did not breast feed so I had good breast tissue but bad stretch marks and just sad looking boobs. When I 1st new I had 2 do hp I flipped out I was affraid id have torpedo boobs. Then I was liking the uperpole in pics I saw. Then I said 2 myself chill out I chose him for his 20yrs experience and he nos what hes doin I am not the professional here! I couldnt be happier I already have more confidence I cant wait 2 fill out a swim suit top I am just so so happy! This is the best thing iv dun 4 myself in a ling time and after all iv dun raising my kids alone wrking 3 jobs until I met the most wonderful man ever I feel I deserve sumthin good 4 myself. At 1st I felt guilty spending the money on that my husband said u do what u want u deserve it uv worked so hard and he will be there 2 help me and it wuld be fine. Im just so happy now!

You are right, they look nice and proportional. You had some pretty good breast tissue beforehand, so I bet that helps :) Guess you're right- just gotta trust the professional. LOL
December 4, 2014
You look great! How was the recovery? I go in for my procedure on the 15th of this month. So excited for full boobies. I decided on 375 high profile silicone for both breasts, I'm also receiving a full lift. I'm nervous. Any pointers? I keep on hearing other women say they feel like they have an elephant on their chest. That totally freaks me out, as I already suffer from anxiety!
December 5, 2014
Hi! Shoot girl I had so mu h anxiety im sure it was enuff 2 cover both of us lol! I mean almost 3 moths of research and reading till my eyes literally crossed and I got a headache amd bad dreams and comparing all kinds of different things it was crazy. I didnt have so much the heaviness feeling on my chest realy but my meds were valium hydrocodone antibiotics and an anti-inflamitory the valium probly helped the anxiety and I didnt even realize it lol! Do have sum1 2 help! I slept on my couch for 2 or 3 days my husband slept beside me on the floor he was scared he'd bump me at nite and hurt me...hes so sweet lol! Id wake up he wuld get up give me my meds and water help me up 2 go pee u will need a boost getting up for at least a wk keep medicine bottles loose if u dnt have sum1 2 open them or u will have problems maybe keep sum stuff low like a cup on the counter 4 drinks but do get up and move around it helps so much.. I was allowed 2 shower and wash my hair the next day they said that was like my therapy but they also said not 2 raise my arms over my head...confusing rite lol...chill take it easy move slowly squat 2 pick stuff up...I will tell u I was ready 4 my bed 2 early and im very independent by nite 3 or 4 I slept n the bed I had 2 pee I thot I wuld be ok I halfway got up and when I stepped down my feet hit my pajama pants and girl I fell in the floor! Fell! Scared me 2 death my husband 2 he jumped up screamed r u ok I did fall strait down between the wall and my bed sitting on my butt on the floor I did think quivk just 2 let myself go down and did not grab the table 2 catch myself I knocked my water off was sitting in it and everything...its funny now but sure wasnt then! My husband just had me hold on2 him and raise me up we didnt no how 2 get me up like he couldn't realy go under my arms ya no...so just have help and dnt be stubborn! Goin n2 wk 2 it gets better everyday...2 wks and 4 days after I was bak at wrk I do alot all day with my arms sum lifting and sorting I took sum meds they dnt mess with me bad so I was all good I will say I was tired but I did better than I thot ...my shoulders were sore frm not wrkin so long lol! Not realy my boobs at all. Get ur housewrk dun b4 so u feel nice about all that dnt try 2 drive either I didnt till a little after a wk and I used both hands making small motions...hard 2 explain but ull figure it out. If u have any questions just hollar at me and good luck ull be so happy it will be worth it...I was borderline on the lift he was pretty sure I wouldn't need it and so far I dnt think I will....maybe later on down the line but the hp did the job and the extra 50cc helped 2 2 me. I wishbu the best
December 5, 2014
Omg...thank you thank you !!! You have helped me have a visual of wgat I can expect! I'm so nervous but I know this is just normal!! Omg! So my husband can only take three days off of work. The day of surgery and two days after, by then though my mom will be with me. I hope that will be enough help. Do you love your results?!? Omg...I asked my mentor lady if I could bring home the silicone implants that I tried on until my surgery. My body and they way I feel in my body with boobies is amazing. I cannot wait for two weeks post-op!!! Xo
December 5, 2014
I am so happy with my results and so glad I went up 50cc frm what I was gonna do at 1st becuz I went under the muscle and they do look smaller in u than just tryin them on with even a realy tight sports bra...I feel so much better about myself now it just makes u feel good kinda like just puttin on makeup and a nice outfit and just goin out 2 eat u just feel so much better....good luck it will be worth it all and the 3 days is the ruffest part
December 5, 2014
Im not sure if I replied bak 2 u rite and if u got my reply but I did its just under this post just wanted 2 make sure...I no ur nervous but itll be fine
December 6, 2014
Smokie05, you're an angel! Thank you for all your advice. I'm going with 375 in both boobies and I need to lift these saggy ol boobies too, so a full lift . I've had two kids with one being a c-Section. I think I'll be able to handle it. Just nervous to experience the unknown. The toughest part is going to be not working out! I'm a bit if an addict!!! You're a sweetheart!

Boy did I have a hard time getting this thing (my story and profile) started! Lol! Im not real good with technical stuff tho I have a smart phone thats way smarter than me lol! Anyway I feel like I rambled sum on my 1st post or whatever its called. I left out sum stuff but I sat here 4ever getting this thing on here. I do want 2 add I wore a 34b pre op but I never had been professionally sized thats just what seemed 2 fit and very heavily padded and sumtimes a sports bra over a padded it seemed 2 help a little more lol! So im 3 wks post op now I feel great bak 2 wrk no problems im not pushing it tho im not picking up realy heavy stuff but I do work all day with my arms and do sum lifting as long as it doesnt hurt Im doing it. Whats sore are my arms and shoulders and back from lyin around for 2 wks healing and takin it easy lol! Boobs feel fine! And im wore out at the end of the day. Gonna start back in the gym soon. Need that bad and cant wait! Oh and like 11 or 12 days after surgery I had 2 get out so my husband and I went out 2 eat and I did a little shopping 4 sports bra. I had absolutely nothing 2 wear id been living in his button up shirts and tank tops. So I go 2 vs and got measured she said 34dd! I said whoa dang! But they dont look that big they look like they fit my body im glad I uped 50cc from wjat I was gonna do at 1st o think id have been disappointed if I hadnt I luv them and they get better everyday. I get ahead of myself and think I should be fully dropped I 4get im only 3 wks out but iv changed alot doc says looks good iv been massaging but he showed me at my chkup more of how 2 do it now that im not realy sore and boy they r aggressive massages lol! I wasnt pushing them down no where near like her showed me lol! I thot id slide them out of place haha! Anyway I wish everyone luck with anything they are having dun amd hope all goes well and hope I can help with any questions about my experience!

Oh you look Great! when did you stArt wearing normal bras ? How are you incisions ?
December 13, 2014
No normal bras yet still sports bras cant do any unerwire till 3 months...I was a 34b I guess id never been sized anywhere and I went 2 victoris secret 11 or 12 days after my surgery which by then I was feelin great so I had 2 get out of the house and my husband drove I still culdnt I didnt drive till rite at my 2wks maybe a few days b4 she measured me at 34d and ended up puttin me in a 34dd and it fit great I did get the knockout sports bra I luv it but not wearing it yet cuz it duz hav an undewire and I can take it bak no prob if I change in size they said even more than 1nce as long as I still have the receipt. I cant wait 2 wear a normal 1 and now I have 2 buy all new so I have a bra full of nice heavily padded usless 2 me bras lol! When I started I wanted 2 be a c cup or so I thot and I drove myself crazy researching since September and I mean crazy! My girlfriend went 2 the same dr a few yrs ago she wears a 32dd or an e sumtimes but they dnt look like it it is true augmented boobs look smaller than real n the same size...I origanly was gonna do 325cc and 350cc changed my mind at last min and did 375 and 400 and im so glad I look the size of the 1nz I was goin 2 do 1st since they r under the muscle that realy makes a difference 2 so I will never have boob greed and I feel like my body looks proportionate now so now I just gotta get my butt n the gym and get the rest of me in shape lol! I guess I need 2 do sum incision pics they look good they feel a little lumpy but dnt look like it but that shuld go away I dnt think about it realy cuz u cant realy see it..oh and ur nipples will friggin hurt probly for a few months but shuld go away in time and its annoying... a loose shirt and fitted shirt a sports bra it dnt matter anything barely touches them and they hurt like theyve been in a vice! I read pasties or bandaids can help but haven't tryed it yet

im glad I have someone who's a few weeks ahead of me so I know what to expect. I heard nordstroms does a more accurate sizing. ive been taking walks in the neighborhood so that elevates some of the house boredom. I just wished the neighbors didnt try to talk to me because I'm on meds and im sure im talking nonsense. Hahaha
December 13, 2014
Lol! I no I hate living in town in a subdivision and I didnt tell any1 at wrk amd no1 has noticed but I wore realy padded bras however I think theyll no [RS bleep] summer time and im in a tank top or tighter shirt rite now its layers and hoodies...its not that im hiding it I dnt care who nos I just dnt tell people everything I do but if they ask ill be like heck yeah finaly got my girls!
