I've been reading these reviews daily, so I thought I should post my own.
I've lost a total of 60 pounds since 2011, 35 pounds in the past year.
I feel so much more confident and healthy now, but the effects of being overweight on my body was tough. As we're the effects of losing weight. My whole body is covered in stretch marks and loose skin, especially my breasts. I never had a naturally large chest, but they were previously much larger as I was overweight.
I actually quite enjoy having a small chest now, but I'm having a breast augmentation to help add shape and fullness to my upper pole.
It saddens me to think that expensive surgery will still not change the very visible stretch marks all over my chest, but I am doing this for me to feel more in love with my body when I am naked or In a bikini.
I worry about them being too large, as I don't want to have a big bump in my shirt, or to feel fat once again. My plastic surgeon suggested 400cc. He knows my concerns and we've decided he will bring 350, 375, and 400 into the OR to try them in and see what is the best fit. He says he cannot go too small as the loose skin would not be filled out.
I am going to Mexico 20 days after surgery, and really hoping they will not be obnoxiously high and odd shaped by then. I have one week off work initially to heal. Pretty excited and nervous! Surgery is 14 days away!

Paid for the surgery today, getting excited!
Has anyone else gone on vacation soon after surgery?
I wear a 32D now.

I went on vacay 3 weeks after my revision. Just don't plan on lifting any suitcases and schedule time to take it easy. And many of the stretch marks will disappear as the skin will be full again -- it's a beautiful plus that you don't often hear about. I had stretch marks from my 3 babies and they have disappeared and/or lightened greatly. Congrats. You look amazing already. Your before pics are similar to mine.

Thanks for sharing your story- I have similar looking breasts after losing weight. I also wear a size 32D which has always thrown me off. The bra size made me question whether I was being silly by wanting a BA but I'm glad to see someone else doing it. I have a consult next week!

Good luck! It's an emotional roller coaster, especially after losing so much weight, feeling big for sure, hoping they'll drop and fluff and I'll feel great

Pretty much dreaming about boobs every night!
My boyfriends birthday was yesterday so unfortunately it was a night of drinking and poor eating leaving me feeling sluggish before surgery.
My check in time is 8am tomorrow morning, surgery at 10, and pick up by boyfriend at 1!
SO excited and SO nervous.
Any last minute tips of what to stock up on today for preparation? I'm back to work after 1 week, and headed to Mexico 3 weeks post op.
Wish me luck!

Make sure you have a comfy area with lots of pillows. Also take two pillows with you to the surgery for the car ride home, place them under each arm so you don't feel every bump in the road. They were a life saver for me. Also bendy straws lol

1 week off work?! Where do you work? I've told I'll be needing 6 whole weeks off after my surgery but I'm getting a tummy tuck, lift and aug all at once. Using up all my holiday leave as I don't want to tell my boss and take it as 'sick' leave when I am not technically sick

Where do you work that you are given 6 weeks off for holidays?! Haha, I work at a dental office, and I ran errands the day after surgery, just got back from a brisk walk, my post of sheet says 4-7 days off work, I just feel like I had a big chest workout, have had hardly any pain

i'm a Police Officer. It'll be an awkward conversation to have with my co workers how i don't want to hand cuff anyone in case I split my scars open on my breasts ;) The less they know the better. I'm just going on an extended overseas holiday as far as they need to know!
January 31, 2015
Haha right on, my ps said I could go back to work 4 days later, I'm actually going back on Monday so 6 days off
