8 days! 8 days! I'm so very excited. Sometimes I'm nervous that I chose the wrong type of implant but I guess that's probably normal for anyone making a permanent decision. I'm going with the mentor high profile 440cc cohesive gel implant. I met with my fabulous Dr. last week for my pre op appt. I picked up a multi vitamin and vit c supplement as suggest by my dr. My Dr. Said he will take a small range of 395-440cc in surgery. It feels surreal at this point. I've wanted this done since I was 18. Eeegad! For the most part I'm not nervous about the surgery or the recovery. I expect it to hurt probably like it felt when my milk came in after having babies plus some. Sorry if these posts are all over the place, like many of you this is my only sounding board and my thoughts are all over the place.

Congrats on the upcoming addition! You're very small framed for 440cc. I'm sure they will look great on you!

How did you decide on mentor shaped vs sientra or other? Are they teardrop textured? And are they placed submuscular?

My dr offers them all and at first it was dizzying. You can seriously drive yourself insane comparing the different implants. I first chose a size range that I liked then i was leaning toward the shaped. I liked natural look of the high profile. My dr recommend the textured (he didn't push me one way or the other, it just seemed to be a better choice.) mentor was the one to offer the high profile shaped in the textured. i liked all the pics I saw of ladies that had them and my hubby drove himself crazy researching the company itself. I think they're all good companies with a reputable product.
I still had questions as to if I chose correctly going into surgery. I knew I liked the look but there is always that tiny voice that says "are you sure?" Lol I'm very very happy with my choice.

My story is so similar to yours! I'm a personal
Trainer, lots of body building so I was dreading not training! Also I've wanted them done since I was 18! You're tiny however I'm 5'9 and 165lbs! (16% haha) I went over the muscle, 375cc 6 days ago! Healing is fine, I bloated up though which sent me crazy! I put on an inch on my waist and hips but it's just general swelling, stomach is starting to look more normal now! Good luck you'll be absolutely fine! I'm going to try and start light cardio (bike) on Wednesday and see how I go! [RS bleep]

I really hope this isn't considered inappropriate or anything, but I'm REALLY hoping to get a response on this...

From this pic, you seem to just happen to have the EXACT body type I'm hoping for. I'm about 5'5 110lbs. But NO muscle mass. I've started walking, and am hoping to begin jogging. I wanted a very lean look all over... so I want to remain thin, and definitely don't want those high twitch(I think it's called?) leg muscles, where they are big and bulky, y'know. I am fine with having more defined and even a little bigger muscles in the upper body, however. In fact, I'm hoping for that. So basically, I was wondering...

Is there any way you'd be willing to share your(even basic) workout/diet information with me, stranger? Maybe?

I know this is probably coming off as weird, and is absolutely off topic. I won't be at all offended if you choose to ignore me, or say no flat out. But you never know if you don't ask, right?

Anyway, I'm glad your transformation has gone well thus far, and wish only the best for you. Good luck, & tc!

One week from right now I'm going to be going back for surgery! I'm going to take a nap and wake up with BOOBIES! While picking out clothes this am I thought "this may be the last time this shirt fits".
I am stating to get s little freaked out about small details. I have surgery on Wednesday and the following Monday i have to return to work. Not only that but I have to drop off and pick up my kids from school. Part of me feels like I have zero f@cks, but the introvert in me feels like it's going to be so awkward and slightly embarrassing to converse with the other parents with two huge elephants sitting on my chest. If I see then looking do I mention it? Do I ignore it? Idk. I wish it would cool down here in San Diego so j can at least hide under sweaters for a while but alas no, it's about 12million degrees daily average. I'm also feeling nervous about cleaning, laundry, cooking DRIVING. My husband is gone a lot and while he will be home to help the first few days he still has a job that does not involve boobie sitting. As fun as it may be ( . )( . ). I have zero family to help here and I haven't told any local friends about my BA. I'm not sure why. I didn't even tell anyone at my work. Monday will be "surprise BOOBIES" ????.
I'm not sure if I should go buy some sports bras or wait because I'm not entirely sure what size I'll be after. My dr. Initially said DD but his beautiful and incredibly sweet assist said probably more like a D.
Yesterday I filled my scripts for after (6 in all). The guy at the pharmacy said " oh wow, um that's a lot.... This will take a while" lol! I've never in my life had so many kinds of prescription pills to pick up. Lol
So I guess that's it for now. Drugs, awkward boob meetings, and daily chores.

I'm thinking you'll be okay to be solo on Monday with the kids but is there someone you trust that you could call if you were in a bind? Hoping the kiddos can help you out a bit. Plan a few meals or delivery take out perhaps. Some women can drive by day 4 but some can't. I think you look great in your sizers. Can't wait to see you results!

Thanks! I don't have anyone I can call for help (we are new to Socal). but I think I'll be OK. Worst case I'll work from home and keep my kiddos home from school LOL.
