My surgery date is scheduled with Dr. Michael Ciaravino for March 2nd and I'm still extremely anxious about size...I know at the one week pre op(feb 22nd) I'll finalize and be more informed but I'm freaking out. I know there's a lot of dependent factors that go into what size you'll be post op but I'm petite and I don't want to regret the cc size :/. I'm 5 for 1 inch. And approx. 118 pounds. I've always been very curvy in my hips and felt like a pear body type with nothing up top. I want to be proportionate finally but also a little bigger. A full C is my goal. I've read a lot about women being emotional post surgery but I feel so emotional even before mine!! I'm nervous/excited to finally feel like a woman and love all of me but I'm terrified of surgery as well. I feel it's hard to explain to these feelings to my close friends because this is elective surgery...

I would say the entire process is an emotional roller coaster from start to finish...but you're not alone! Feel free to join the March 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some pre and post op support. Be sure to comment on reviews that you like so those members can easily find you and support you!

5 days away from surgery and feeling less anxious!

So I'm 5 days away from surgery and I'm feeling a lot less anxious than I was. I just got off the the phone with the anesthesiologist Dr. Ciaraviono uses and the phone conversation I had with him combined with the nurse who has been with me since my consult has eased my nerves tremendously!!!! Dr. Nguyen is a patient, kind person who answered all my questions in full and then some. I feel even more reassured that I'm making the right decision to go with Dr. Michael Ciaravino and his staff. Anyone in the Houston area should do a lot of research and let the expierience that Dr. Ciaravino and his staff have alone sway them towards his office! I'm super excited and can't wait to share before and after pictures :)

I'm scheduled exactly one week after you! I have my pre-op on the 2nd. I've been super emotional and going back and forth with my decision. I know I'll love it once it's done and over but I'm letting my nerves get to me! Good luck!

I have been the same way for about a month now. Literally not being able to sleep or keep focused!! And the closer it gets the better and more excited I feel. I really pray the same goes for you :). Talking more with your PS office I think will ease concern. I'll be sure to share my experience and before and after photos and thank you for the good luck wishes.

So I'm less than twelve hours away and I'm getting super nervous and excited and scared. I've had worse surgery in the past but I'm just not a fan of any of it. I'm reminding myself it's completely worth it. My ps prescribed me some Valium so I'm about to take it. Good luck to all the other ladies having surgery tomorrow!
