I'm so excited and nervous for my procedure-...
$5,500
I'm so excited and nervous for my procedure- Excited for my breasts to up where they belong and replace/add fullness lost after kids and weight loss.
Nervous as its surgery and worried I will not be happy with the result. Also concerned about spending all of the $$$ on myself.
Hoping for a beautiful, sexy, full (but natural!) look that suits my body!

PreOp appointment was Tuesday!
11 days to go, and I'm a nervous wreck! Settled on Mentor round 550cc under the muscle. I liked the 500's, but have read so much on RealSelf about boob greed I decided to go 50cc bigger. My doc says with my build, they will look natural and not HUGE, but I am worried about it. The sizers looked great and took me to the same measurement I am with my padded push-up bra on, so I am trusting his expertise. I really wish I could see 6 months into the future to know if I'm making the right choice!
I forgot to snap a photo with the sizers in (sorry!), but I did attach one of me wearing just the sports bra in the doc's office.

Day before surgery jitters!
Tomorrows the day, and my anxiety is at an all time high. I've found that it helps to remind myself that I don't HAVE to go through with the surgery. I can always back out. When I think about not having my new boobs though, I'm disappointed, so I know this is the right decision.
Still, I worry about general anesthesia, the recovery, and my final results. Anyone have any tips on coping with these issues?

Whooo good luck for tomorrow ! :) I am in on the 19th for mine, I am having all the same worries as you, nervous, excited also just want it over with now. Cant wait to see your results.

Thx! I can't wait to see my results as well, but agree with you that I just want it to be over!
Good luck for your surgery next week. Have you gotten all of the supplies you'll need?

I haven't really thought of any other than comfy clothes and the usually traveling necessities... Do you have any suggestions? What time is your surgery?

Surgery was at 7am- good since I couldn't eat anything after midnight, bad since we had to be at the hospital super early!
I would be sure you have all of your prescribed meds on hand, as well as some Gatorade and easy to eat foods- I've had crackers, soup, and yogurt today. I also bought a wedge pillow off of Amazon that is really helpful for keeping me propped up comfortably while sleep.

Good luck!! Let us know how it turns out. I'm 5'11" and about 10 lbs heavier, so I'm curious. It is tricky to know exactly what cc's to choose, because on the one hand I want to have full breasts, but on the other hand I don't want to look like a linebacker or just big all over. Can't wait though... I can't imagine not having to wear a padded uplifting bra!

Me either! I told my ps that I wanted the results to look like I was wearing my push up, padded bra.
I'm trusting his judgement with the 550s- I'm concerned that they will be too big. But the sizers looked good on me, and I remind myself that I'm large framed and tall, so I need the extra cc's versus a smaller statured lady. I think showing my ps wish boob pictures helped as well- a good doc will be able to tell you if your expectations are attainable.
Good luck with your journey... Have you scheduled a date yet?
September 12, 2016
Nope, but I've had consults and know the surgeon I want. Husband and I are going to pay cash and are very conservative with our saving and investing. So as soon as I start my new sales job and start making commissions he should feel good about scheduling it later this winter. Fingers crossed;-) Blessings to you!

Y'all sound like my husband and me... We paid cash as well. It sounds like you have a good plan. I wish you the best of luck when you decide the time is right! Keep us posted!
