Hi Ladies!
I couldn't sleep last night because I've been thinking so much about my upcoming BA, so I went online to find a place just like this and was so glad I did. I cannot tell you enough how happy I was to fund such a great community of supportive women.
I'm a 36B on a good day and went for my consultation on the 7th and just need the last few bucks before going for it.
I read where a lot of your friends were telling you not to go too big - that cracked me up because I had a friend and a sister tell me the same thing and they're both DD and love their breasts. I've spent my whole life having people tell me what I can't have or shouldn't do, so I'm not listening to them. I told the Doc to keep them "age appropriate" since I'm 47, but if in doubt, go bigger because I'd rather say they're bigger than I wanted than smaller than I wanted.
Anyway - I'll post updates. My planned date is the 29th (Jan). So excited!

I realized I didn't post my stats: Besides being 47, I'm 5'8" and my weight varies between 125-130...I'm an avid cyclist, so in the spring/summer/fall my weight drops because I can eat whatever I want when cycling so much!
I've never had kids, so no influence there on breast size. My ribs tend to stick out, so sometimes it looks like I have four small breasts if I'm wearing a tight shirt.

Good luck to you! I'm 48 and I know what you mean about "age appropriate". For me bigger isn't necessarily better. Everyone has a different objective and that's why they make so many sizes! I go in for surgery tomorrow, so be on the lookout for my update. If I feel up to it, I will post tomorrow night. Can't wait to read your updates.

Thanks! Can't wait to hear how it goes tomorrow - you must be so excited.
My PS said he'd go about 300-350cc on me. I'm already a B, so maybe that has something to do with it? I'd like to be a full C but it sounds like I'll be at least a small D after surgery until things settle - swelling and when they drop. :)

Good luck with your upcoming surgery!! ccs are different for everyone! I wanted to be a D and started off with deflated B's .. My doc recommended 425 mod profile silicones .. I ended up with 457 and could not be happier: another lady I know started smaller than me and went with less ccs but ended up bigger .. Keep us posted!! So glad I went a little bigger from the get go. :)

I'm doing saline - my sister, who is the same build as me - had saline done about 6 years ago and hers look so natural on her. She only got 275cc but is a 36DD (started from a 36B as well)? I'm having faith that my doc will do it all just right. He's been doing this for 29 years and came here from the Mayo Clinic - and he looks like Patrick Dempsey!

That is great!! Another friend of mind got saline over the muscle and had rippling and swishing sounds .. She is going for silicones next time around but everyone is different and I am so excited for you!!!!!

My PS goes under the muscle 95% of the time, so I imagine that would help...would be kind of funny to hear swishing since I have a very "vocal" stomach as well! It's always rumbling...so people will know when I'm nearby between the rumbling and swishing! ha ha
I haven't been this excited about something in so long - the other side of the fence will be such a relief.

I am so excited for you too! I am in the same boat! I get my BA 3/6/13....yippeeeeeee:-)

Awesome! I have my mammo on Tue, then hoping to get in for the pre-op this week and surgery on the 29th - if not, then 2/5. The office says 2 weeks before surgery for the pre-op - any idea why 2 and not less? Maybe they'll be a bit flexible. Hoping over to your page to see your story!

You are going to be so happy with new boobies! :) Do you know what type of implant you want? Saline, Silicone? Under or over muscle? Do you know what profile or approx size implant? The whole process is so exciting, it can be pretty emotional too, just realize that's normal and try to "roll" with it. I am measuring (i think, may go for a remeasure tomorrow) at a 36DD. And before surgery, I thought a DD was huge. If that is in fact what i'm measuring, it's not huge at all. I am glad I'm not bigger, cause finding bras might be a challenge, but REALLY glad i'm not smaller. :) I would have been very unhappy if i had been any smaller.
I can't wait to hear all of your updates and follow along on your journey.

I'm so glad you mentioned the emotions - they are definitely heightened, and that says a lot since I'm born under the sign of Cancer!
I'm going with Silicone, under the muscle and he figured 300-350cc. I'll find out more at the Pre-Op. Getting my mammo tomorrow morning.
My boyfriend and I were talking about it last night and he kept saying, "Keep them proportionate for your body - you're tall and lean and you don't want them too big." My sister, who's an inch shorter but same build as me, got fitted for bras at Nordstroms and was told she's a DD...she had silicone done about 7 years ago. She's the size I want, so yes, DD isn't what it used to be. I did tell the doc that when in doubt, go a bit bigger because I'd rather have that than not big enough.
Thanks for your note! I'll post updates - going over to look at your profile now.

I wish I went to a DD (I think) LOL! Def go bigger when in doubt! P.S. I'm a Leo - I am not normally super emotional but have been on a little roller coaster the past few weeks.

Cinnamon - I wish I went to a DD .. I'm kicking myself for telling my PS a D, however everything happens for a reason and perhaps these are the perfect size for me considering my lifestyle, skin, breast tissue, etc. Hee hee!
