I am exactly the same. Similar size, shape worries, everything. One thing though is that I have decided I am going to do this. I will not live out the rest of my life like this. I am seeing the PS on Monday.

goindown I am 54 yrs and was a 40G now a 36D . I am 7 weeks postop and have not had one problem . My surgery was easy . Minimal pain. But nothing a percocet didn't take care of . I was taking tylenol on day 4 with an occasional perc if I did too much during the day .The fear of surgery is the worse part of it all. Its true their can be complications . But if you're healthy to begin with you you should be fine . Make sure you are comfortable with your PS and that he/she knows your expectations . For me this has changed my life and my attitude. Best of luck . And this site has a lot of women who will help encourage you the whole way . If you have any questions just ask . Someone here has the answer .A great group of gals .

I'm 40 and was a 34G, handled the surgery very well. I was terrified because it was my first surgery and I don't regret it one bit and I don't miss my big saggers at all. The best thing you can do for yourself before surgery is exercise (especially some core work if you can), eating as healthy as possible, and drinking lots of water. It's okay to be nervous but know that you have a group of women who understand and will cheer you on all the way. This is going to be an amazing life change for you. Exciting!!!

I was as scared as you. I had my PS write me a prescription for some Valium. I started taking in 24 hours before surgery. It was really helpful :)

Don't you dare cancel! You CAN do this, girl. Most of us shared the exact same mixed emotions and fears as you, but remember this is going to change your life, for the better! Your thoughts and fears are totally normal but rest assured the staff at the hospital or facility are all professionals and will assist you with any questions and they will help ease your mind. My operating room nurse talked to me about bra shopping and clothes shopping to help take my mind off the fact that the anesthesia was only seconds away. I was so very nervous until the actual day of my surgery and then I was strangely calm. I think it mostly just felt surreal to me that after so many years it was finally happening!! I am 3 weeks post op and have no regrets! You will be so happy once you have your surgery. Just think of the end result and that you are doing something amazing for yourself and that will help to ease your fears. Best of luck to you and I look forward to your updates! :)

P.S. I was a 38 I-J and now am aproximately (still have some swelling) a DD-E. I am hoping to be at most a DD once I am fully recovered. Best thing I ever did!!
