Started to write this makes me nervous. I have no doubt that I am actually going through with it, but the more real it gets the more anxiety I have.
I have considered getting implants since I was a kid. I always wanted boobs. I have always been skinny - "string bean" kind, someone even once told me a looked like a joint, and I have no extra tissue to strangle into looking like cleavage. Flat as a pancake. I love my body, I am very active, and if I didn't get this surgery I wouldn't shed or a tear or look disapprovingly in the mirror, but because breast augmentation is an option I absolutely wanted to enhance my chest. Do I sound like I'm convincing myself?
I'm nervous about what other people will think. I live in a small town and people like to talk. I would like not to care what they think, but nobody likes being judged. I actually don't care what they think, but I don't like that negative projection of judgement. I guess I just have to remind myself that this is my choice and there's nothing wrong with it. Is there anything wrong with buying yourself a nice pair of boobs?
I have a small frame so I'm not quite sure yet what size I'll be able to get, I don't need to be huge but I want a really full set of hooters. I think I may have to go high-profile because I am so narrow, but I am also not quite sure that will be the right look for me... Going for pre-op and sizing on the 31st and surgery is scheduled for august 11! let the booby whirlwind begin

14 days until BA. I have felt pretty obsessed over this whole thing. Couldn't stay off RealSelf, looking for women with similar stats, trying to find the perfect boobs, trying to figure out what I want, etc etc. I feel slightly less obsessed now and am searching RS less compulsively, but it is still top of my thought priority.
I've been surprised by how hard it is to find women with small frames who have pictures. have to remind myself that even if i have a good vision of what I want, my body will dictate much of the outcome.

I'm getting more nervous about post-op. I live on a small island so I have to travel to a slightly larger island for surgery and stay in a hotel for the first four days after surgery. I feel like I won't be as prepared there as I could be at home with food, pillows, etc. If anyone has recommendations for the essentials to bring I'm all ears. I guess I'll be getting a neck pillow but I don't know what else.

I go in for pre-op and sizing monday.
I'm so excited.

Soooo I had my pre-op appointment Monday. I felt a little bit rushed but I also had all of my questions answered and I felt like maybe I just wanted to walk around with the sizers in for a little longer... But we decided on allergen hp 295. I'm just a little worried it's going to be too big, as I'm slender and my bwd is only 10.5/11, but I also know I want a substantial increase and the whole reason i'm doing this is because i want BOOBS! So I guess I'm only a little nervous about them being too big for me, but that everyone else will have something to say about it. It's a big change.
I've been wearing bigger padded bras to work so it won't be as huge of a change... but it's going to be a huge [RS bleep] change. ha! sometimes I can't actually believe I'm finally going through with this.
