WORTH IT$6,250
I've wanted a BA 4 ever and ever. I remember being in gade 7, everyone else had boobs, and I kept waiting and waiting... I'm now 29 years old, 5'6, 140lbs. I'm not exactly sure what current breast size I am cause I wear so much padding lol. Probably 36A. I'm now finally at a point in my life I'm happy and comfortable with myself and feel I deserve this. I'm engaged, our wedding is coming up very fast end of November in Mexico!! Can't wait. I know getting a BA before the wedding is a little rushed but I've never been more sure and excited in my life. Has anyone else had a BA before their wedding? Will I be totally pain free in 3 months and be able to swim, do normal activities and such? My consultation is tomorrow, (yay, finally!), so I'll be asking a lot of questions. I'm thinking under the muscle, silicone, somewhere between 325cc to 400cc. I would like a nice full natural C cup. I can't wait to fill up a bikini!! I'll try and post some pics of sizers tomorrow after the consultation :)

The consultation is done... now for the boobies!
I thought I would share my story with everone thinking of getting a BA as I have found everyone elses stories so very helpful and comforting. So here is my story so far...
I got through my consutation yesterday. Arrived at the office yesterday afternoon, filled out some paper work. The reseptionist is so beautiful and helpful (thank you!) Then I went with the RN and got asked a bunch of health questions which was easy cause all my answers seemed to be no, lol. Then Dr. B came in and gave me the whole talk on what to expect, risks, options ect. Very helpful and informative. Then we went to the vectra 3D imaging machine. That was so great and really gave me a good idea what I'll look like with boobs, Wow, I'm in love. The 325cc were nice, but once I saw the 400's that was it for me. I have to say picking the size was actually pretty easy! I was stressing out about size because I thought I would be picking from hundreds of different sizes/profiles/shapes... but Dr. B made it SO easy for me! I have to stop right now and thank him and his staff who are amazing and sweet and so very helpful. Yay! So Dr and I decided on a little bigger 425cc high profile silicone, sub-pectoral. He said almost all women he's had who go a little smaller wish they went bigger in the end, which I could see myself doing the same lol. He wanted to go submuscular as I don't have a lot of breast tissue and this will camouflage the implant a little better, and high prifile to get the projection I want. Anyway, that was it! Consult and size picking done :) Easy.
I made the date!
So after pacing around my kitchen for what seems like hours I finally got up the courage to call the office and book the date...and it's soon! Aug 19th :) OMG this is the most exciting and nervracking thing I've ever done. I'm usually a very safe, normal person, but every now and then I just have to do something to kick it up a notch. I'm turning 30 Aug 10th so maybe this is my 30yr life crisis? lol. Anyway, I'm happy and can't wait!
Oh, I should also say, my finance was with me for the consultation the whole time. He's been so supportive and amazing with this whole process. I loved having him with me, telling me what he liked the most and encouraging me to pick what I feel comfortable with. Love him!
Now to break the news to my manager...
Ok, so has anyone else stressed out about this?! I think I'm more nervous about this than the actual surgery lol. I'm an RN at a small rural hospital, we are all very close and word gets around. But my manager does not know yet, he's one of the only males that work in my field and this makes me nervous, like he won't understand. Luckly I talked to some people at work and I don't leagally have to say what type of surgery I'm having. I feel a little selfish taking days off just for myself, and worried about them not being able to replace my shift as it's really short notice. Anyone have some advice or been in the same situation? Gosh I'm nervous.
Supplies:
I've started to get everything I need together and ready before the BIG "B"-DAY.
What I have:
-arnica tabs
-arnica cream
-make me heal vitamins (ordered on amazon, $60)
-sea bands (found at walmart, supposed to help with nausea)
What I need:
-frozen peas
-bio oil
-stool softners
-comfy sports bra, any suggestions????
-comfy loose clothes for surgery, any suggestions???
Can anyone think of anything I've missed or still need?
Thats it for now! Thanks for the support and good luck to anyone getting boobs done soon :)

Definitely get some an abundance of comfy pillows :) I used a small, shorter robe & loose, easy-to-pull-up pants to wear after surgery.
Also, I ran across the same problem at work. I told a couple close friends what I was doing but I was approached by a charge nurse being nosey about why I needed to be on light duty. I just told her I was not comfortable disclosing it to her and she was very respectful and wished me good luck. I was also planning on wearing only my loose scrubs/scrub jackets to work so hopefully no one will notice. I hope that helps some! And congrats on your upcoming surgery date! Yay :)

Thanks! Yeah those all sound like great ideas. That's good that charge nurse just left it alone after you told her you're not comfortable telling her the details. I work in a small hospital and word is already getting around, and I haven't even got it done yet! I'm just so excited about it and tell a few people, then the next thing you know you're the talk of the hospital lol. Most poeple have been very supportive though.
Thanks for the help!!

Hey thanks for the tips! Sounds great.
Yes I believe there are people you can disclose this info to and then there are others that just don't need to know! It's tough in my small little hospital as everyone is so close and word gets around. People are already talking because I've booked the time off now. I still haven't talked to my manager, only my HR lady who does the scheduling. I was told by a close friend that I legally don't have to tell my manager the type of surgery that that's made me feel MUCH better.
How's everything going with your recovery? Is it looking like the size you hoped for?

Counting down the days :)
So I booked the time off work. Thinking a week should be enough? Then I'll have to be on light duties for a few more weeks. Worried I'm not taking enough time off? What does eveyone else think?
I've leant I really need to stock up on some more pillows, buy a front zip up sports bra, and take it easy the first few days. Other than that I think I'm almost ready for the big day. Oh I'll have to stop taking my regular mutivits soon due to the vit E. I've heard that causes some unwanted bleeding and bruising. I think 2 weeks pre-op is when I'm you're supposed to stop? is this right?
I'm posting some pre-op pictures. I don't even like looking at them so this has taken me a lot of courage to post them lol. Anyway, they'll be WAY different soon, woohoo! Counting down the days :)

Congratulations on scheduling your surgery date! One week off from work should be sufficient. Keep your chin up even if people whisper behind your back about your surgery. You're doing this for you, not them so don't let anyone get under your skin. :) Be sure to get a few extra packages of frozen peas...a set to use and set ready in the freezer. Looking forward to your updates!
