Hi, Ladies! I can't thank all of you enough for...

Hi, Ladies! I can't thank all of you enough for being willing to share your stories here. It's been so helpful to read the reviews and recoveries. I think I have realistic expectations of the surgery and recovery.
I went in for my consultation and I have to admit, all sizers seem quite large. Part of this is because, well, my breasts are currently quite small. It'll take some getting used to. I tried on 210cc and 235cc. Even though these visually appear nearly identical in the 3D imaging, the 235 felt HUGE! I have broad shoulders and a very athletic build. I worry a lot that whatever size I go with, won't look believable or natural. I thought I had settled on 210cc. I've come to realize from looking at reviews, more important than the CCs of the implants is how natural they look. At this point, I'm comfortable telling my surgeon to use his best judgement the day of surgery.
I work with my family at our very small business (9 employees, 4 are family - My parents and my husband). I want to make the surgery as discrete as possible. As such, my husband and I are taking a week off for "vacation." Additionally, we're thinking of moving our business to another state. This must be kept quiet and only between the family. My husband and I need to take a trip out of state for some business research. We've opted to combine the recovery time with the trip out of state and call it all "vacation" to avoid raising too many questions.
My surgery is scheduled for a Monday and we fly Wednesday night, returning Sunday. The flight is only two hours. Although traveling so soon might seem like not the best idea.. We have a puppy at home that is 8 months old, 70lbs and pretty rambunctious. Spending the time out of state means there's no puppy around to jump on me or pull me around on the end of his leash. I'm also off work for the entire week - no strenuous activity, probably won't even have to do much cooking, my husband is off with me the entire time to help whenever I need it, no puppy around, we can research a new business location, and no one at work knows the wiser.
I do worry about being nauseous on the plane. It seems to be a common side effect with the pain medication. I hope to only be on tylenol/ibuprofen by Wednesday. The implants I would like are not very big, which I hope mean the recovery will be quick and less painful. Any thoughts are appreciated! I've included some pictures of my current size. I'll include some other ones in various tops/bras and the vectra imaging a little later on.

1 day pre
Vectra Scans

Hey again. I finally got my scanner to do what I wanted. They gave me print outs of the images.. I was hoping they would email them, but oh well. Here they are. One is 210cc and the other is 235cc. They look nearly identical. We decided to go with the 235. The coordinator said that they do tend to feel a bit smaller once implanted. I cannot get these photos to stop rotating when I upload.. I'm sorry.

Few Hours Post-Op
SarahConnor308February 29, 2016
Hey hey. I'm just a few hours post op and feeling great. I just hope I continue to feel great. I haven't taken a Percocet yet but I think the anesthesia and what not is still in my system. I'm hoping to forego the Percocet all together, but I think that's being quite ambitious. I did take a valium just before leaving the office which I think should've kicked in by now. I'm not too sleepy though. Anyway.. here's the sneak peak snap shots.

Forgot to mention this in the post.. these are 235cc in each side, under the muscle, smooth round silicone.
Glad to hear you'll have some time away from the puppy and some extra help from your husband. Feel free to join the February 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some pre and post op support. Good luck and can't wait to see your results!
