Loving my new boobies!!! - Hoffman Estates, IL

Ok Ladies! Here it is 4 days before my BIG day as my hubby calls it...lol I am 41yrs old, have a 16 yr old daughter and on my 2nd marriage. It gooes without saying that my hubbies a boob man...haven't met a man yet that isn't. He loves me the way I am 36 small b, 5'3", 115-120lbs. but knows I've wanted bigger tatas forever. Coming from a family of 4 girls and being the only one smaller than a C cup was always hard for me. When I was pregnant with my daughter I was a large C but lost that all very quickly.

I went for my first consult about 14 yrs ago but just couldn't afford it at the time. When my new hubby proposed he gave me the option of new boobs or a diamond. The choice was difficult, but I couldn't see myself flashing my new boobs and saying "Look, I got engaged!" lmfao. So, I took the ring. Here we are 3 yrs later, and for Christmas, he hands me a check for $7500. and says This is for your boobs! I almost fainted.....

So, we went for a couple of consults and they said I have great breasts.....I think they're paid to say that! I have had all of my pr-op stuff done (mommogram, bloodwork, sizing.....) And I'm not sure if I'm more excited or nervous. When the PS we decided to go with asked what we were looking for we both said "go big or go home!!!" She laughed. So, being that I am on the small side, She said I need to go with hp if I go any bigger than 300cc. My chest wall isn't wide enough. Plus she said it will give the projection we're looking for. While trying on the sizers, I couldn't believe we ended up deciding on 550cc hp memory gel unders. I have been researching this forever, like since I was 23.....I have seen a lot of women go way smaller on my size frame and I don't want to be one of those who wishes they'd gone bigger. I'm paying for it, might as well do it right the first time. My PS says they will fit me nicely and the nurses agreed. I actually wore rice sizers daily for 2 weeks prior to my pre-op visit to make sure that is what I wanted and that I wouldn't have any issues carrying the size. I would suggest this to anyone. It's a great way to get comfortable with your size before deciding. I have quit smoking, drinking, started my vitamin regimen including arnica and bromelein as my surgeon suggested. I am not scheduled until 1 pm on the 12th. This is crappy since I can't eat or drink after midnight the 11th. I am posting a few pics of me pre-op and will keep you all posted as my recovery progresses. I have read so many of your reviews and have gained a lot of great information and insight on what to expect. Thanx for that! I have purchased my post -op bras and snacks, prepared meals for my hubby and daughter to heat and eat, I have my bio-oil (highly recomended by a friend), arnica gel, arnica tabs, and have been eating fresh pineapple like it's free. My surgeon says it's high in Bromelain and will help with the swelling and bruising as well. So.....Is there anything I'm missing? any last minute pointers? any photos of 550cc on someone my size???

So....tomorrow is the day and I'm home getting all of my last minute stuff taken care of, dishes, laundry, last minute cleaning and such. I think I'm trying to keep myself busy to cover my nervousness...... I am actually moving my bedroom furniture to accomodate my recliner. My home is custom built and has the living room upstairs, man-cave down stairs and all bedrooms on the main floor. I know, wierd. Anyway, my hubby doesn't want me sleeping upstairs so we decided to move the recliner. Any last minute pointers Ladies? I'm drinking plenty of water, and I think I have everything covered.....

So, I'm going nuts sitting here waiting. Left work at 8:45 chicago time, don't have to check in till 11:30!!!!! Showered, packed, piercings out....can't eat, can't drink...and the clock seems to have slowed it's function!! My hubby is calm as can be watching TOP GEAR!!! and I'm sitting here like.....uh, what do I do now.....Good luck to all the ladies gettin their girls done today!!! Wish you all the BEST!!!! Will update later. : / So.....frustrating to wait.....
