I'll start with my stats, since that's what everyone seems to look for!
5'6", 130lbs, BWD 13cm, 34B (on a good day, more like an A cup)
I breastfed my 2 babies, and I miss my D cup nursing breasts! I've always been unhappy with my chest size, and now they have zero volume after nursing.
Ive researched doctors for almost a year before I found one that I absolutely love. She is 2 hours away, which is not ideal, but I'd rather drive further to have a doctor I feel comfortable with.
At my consult, she was able to answer all my questions, and did not pressure me at all. She listened to my "wants" and was able to help point me the right direction with size and calm my anxiety. We chose allergan 330cc subpectoral moderate profile silicone implants.
My surgery date is 2/13/17.. I wish it was closer because all I do lately is read about BAs! I feel like a purvy teenage boy checking out all these before and after pictures lol
My husband and I leave for Jamaica (anniversary trip!) at my 6 week mark, so I'm extra anxious for everything to go and look well by then. I know they won't have dropped & fluffed, but this trip Is just the 2 of us, so if they are still obnoxiously large, I'll be fine.. just hope the discomfort is gone and I can feel relatively "normal" by then.
I feel like I should be doing more to "prep".. I've only bought 1 front zip sports bra, hibiclens (pre op prep), and some bio oil to ease the stretching discomfort after.
Please feel free to comment, follow, or Give any advice!!

Days away from my BA
Only 4 more sleeps until my BA! I'm so excited for my new figure, but also having so much anxiety. What if I don't like them? What if I have painful symptoms for years to come? What if I have them removed someday and am permanently disfigured? What if my family (super conservative religious, and mean the world to me) is upset?
I've done as much research as I can, and have complete faith in the surgeon I've chosen. But I've also read the horror stories.
I'm just ready for Monday to be here, and the surgery to be over.

I had the same exact things going through my head as you did, hence my user name LeapOfFaith2! I felt like I was taking a leap of faith doing this. Sure things can go wrong but with most things there are risks and pros and cons to weigh. My only regret about getting a BA is not doing it sooner. Hands down. I hope you will feel the same way when you're on the other side!

Good luck! It looks like you are ready!

Bring everything you'll need down at eye level. I did everything you did, got the meds, bought 6 sports bras (size M & L) cleaned the house, had my kids with my parents for the first 2 days. BUT the only thing I didn't do was put things that I would need down low. (Cloths, coffee mugs, tea, bowls) I know leapoffaith said the same thing. I drink a lot of tea & didn't realize it was all on the top shelf so every time I wanted some I had to ask my husband for it.

Almost 24 hours after! 330 SMR Subpect
Surgery went well yesterday and I'm so glad it's over; ready for the healing process! My pain was awful right after surgery (like comparable to labor pain), but was better controlled in the afternoon / evening. When I took my 1030 pills before bed (after eating), I got sick and all my Meds came up. I had taken zofran ahead of time, so not sure why I felt so awful. I slept surprisingly well, especially given having no pain Meds in my system.
Took of my surgical bra so I could check out the girls for the first time! I love the size! I think when they settle down, they'll be exactly what I want. My only concern is my incision seems lower and protrudes more on my left breast (right side, in my pictures). Hope this evens out over time.
Now for a day of resting :)

Yay congratulations! I'm so happy you're happy with the size! Sorry you had a rough time in the beginning it'll get better!
I know it's so hard but try not to get hung up on the little differences now - you'll start to see changes each day - some days you'll wake up and be like whoah how did this change overnight already?! Nothing is permanent at this point the healing process is just beginning! Yay!

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you, they look great already! Love the size. Sorry you're sick :/ I agree with Leapoffaith2, every day you will start to see changes. For now just rest and enjoy doing absolutely nothing :)
