50 Years Young - Time for a Fresh New Start - Indianapolis, IN

Thank you, Starryeyenc. I feel great! 9 days post op I did my first 5K. I wasn't allowed to run but I did a moderately fast walk and completed it in 45 min. All-in-all, the recovery has gone super except now for this terrible itching which is about to drive me INSANE!

Thanks, starryeyesnc! Can't wait to follow your journey and see your results. You're going to be so happy you did this!

Thanks! You too, dannybnp. You look great!

Hi AAsianPear. Thanks for the comments. With respect to the Noogleberry system, I actually liked it and it really did work. (Though not to the effect of a BA.) I probably gained a full cup size. (But I was very small to begin with so a full cup when you're a 32A is different than expecting a full cup when you're a 36C. But still, anything was better and I definitely got some benefit!) It's kinda an awkward device - these 2 hard plastic cones connected with rubber tubing - but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. (But it isn't something you would do around the house in front of others.) If you go to the Noogleberry website you can see some good before and after pictures. I actually think it has probably helped with my BA because the chest muscles were stretched through the process. With respect to my BA, I'm still getting used to the girls. I go from thinking they're too big to thinking they make me look fat. (Which is really stupid cause I wear a size 4. But I think when you go from seeing yourself one way for 50 years, it's hard to see yourself differently even when it was something you wanted. Anyway, I'll get there....) With respect to your question...I went with 325 cc Mentor Moderate Plus profile, under the muscle.

Thanks, Sunshinegirl10! I think you look fantastic!

Thanks, Apple! You're so sweet. Got a ways to go, but getting there! :)

Love to hear your progessing! Healing prayers to you beautiful!! Keep us posted! (as I will) OH I pay off the remaining owed for my surgery TOMORROW! WHAT A RELIEF IT IS!! LOL!! LOVE AND HUGS!

Awesome news, Apple! Paid in full! What a relief!

YES INDEED! Now to save for my next procedure! I want to get my arms done and my thighs done as well..I know this will probably take another few years to get it all done and healed....will be worth it though!

You are going to look sooooo amazing!!! I can't wait to see the end result!

Thanks! I just went to your review and saw your pics. You look amazing!!! I hope you feel as good as you look!

Thanks!!! Yep... it's a roller coaster at 22 days out sometimes but I'm super happy.

Thanks! Just posted a couple of pics of the tummy. Feels a little soft and squishy. I will be happy when I can begin exercising again in another week!

325 cc Mentor, Moderate Plus, unders

Thanks! Now I just need to find me a man to enjoy them with. LOL! ;)

Funny you said that because I just gave away all my expensive and totally adorable B cup bras. I was telling a friend of mine that when I bought them 3 years ago after my divorce that it was a damn shame I didn't have a boyfriend to show them to! I didn't even have boobs to put in them. ;) I then met my current husband on match dot com. He's enjoying my new boobs.

Lucky him! Congrats to you both! So glad you found love again. As for me, I decided, man or no man, I'm doing this totally for ME! I'm so happy to have done it without any outside pressures...pressure to do it, pressure not to do it, pressure to go bigger than I wanted to go, etc. I did this totally by myself. No one in my family even knows I did it except for my daughter. (That's why this message board is so very helpful.) It would be nice, however, now that it's done, to have a handsome man appreciating the results. LOL! I have an identical twin sister. It will be interesting to hear all the talking behind my back when she and I get together next. I'm sure there will be a lot of talking. Oh well! She can always do it herself if she wants to, right? :)

Love your attitude! Yes, this is ALL about me and completely my idea. I'm not sure I could have said that when I was in my 20s. The men do love the fun bags though. Cracks me up. OMG - my Aunts are identical twins and I have a little experience and understanding of the twin dynamic you're talking about. She'll be super happy for you and at the same time don't be surprised if she has to get 25CCs bigger than you! Please keep me posted on that one. That's going to be hilarious :D

You really DO know the twin-competition thing, lol! (25 cc bigger. haha!) I won't see my twin until May at my nephew's wedding (her eldest son). By then, the girls and the tummy should be looking really good. I am trying to figure out if I should tell her in advance or just let the family find out at the wedding and talk about me behind my back. I'm kinda thinking the latter. I'm not thinking I will get much positive support (except from maybe my nieces, 18 and 16, her daughters, who I expect will be very supportive. LOL!) My 18 year old daughter has been most supportive and thrilled for me. I didn't expect that. My boys, on the other hand, are clueless (which I suppose is the way you want it to be with your sons. You don't want them to think of you as having boobs...and particularly not really NICE ones. LOL!) Anyway, I'll keep you posted. :)
