In July 2016 I had my first BA consult, I had no idea what to expect. I hadn't found this website/app yet and didn't do much research into BA other than I always wanted bigger boobs and looking up the cost, oh and finding "wish boobs" my husband suggested we could see about getting them done since we are done having children. My first consult didn't turn out good I had a feeling I would need a lift but husband and I agreed that I didn't want to be covered in scars. The first PS basically wouldn't do the BA without the lift and wasn't willing to give me the large implants I wanted. So we left very put off on the idea of doing it, but the other ladies in the office kept repeating to get a second opinion. So I found one closer to home that did a free consult (first one was $50). Pretty much loved his demeanor after his first sentence. He wanted to know what I wanted! Not what the majority of women want. Also he listened and asked my husbands opinion which matters a lot to me, he's doing the financing of them and as far as I am concerned he's the only one who will see them nude, so I want him to be happy with them too! So this PS told me yes in fact I could use a lift but I'm right on the border and if I didn't want one I didn't have to, he said he would do the dual plane which pushes the breast tissue a little up and forward and while my nipples would be lower (which is what I wanted, for a more natural look) it would still look ok. We tried on sizers, starting with average size, I laughed telling him that my vs bra looked bigger than those so we finally got up to a size that made me a little bigger than my double padded bras. 600-650cc silicone is what we decided on. He thinks I should get style 45 which what I gather now is high profile, I don't think I like that. Ideally he told me since I breast fed three kids, am overweight, and have broad chest, that I could handle that big of an implant easy. So I think with my wide chest I want moderate plus. This all seems to be happening fast, end of July was my consult with him and end of August is my big day. In a week is my pre-op finalizing size and all. Bloodwork is already done and paperwork is already turned into the surgery center. I do seem to have a heat rash or intertrigo under one breast I hope goes away in the next two weeks I hate for that to interfere with surgery. So here's a summery so far

Had my final preOp before surgery. Didn't feel like I spent much time with PS today, we didn't retry on sizers or do more measurements. I guess he was sure of our initial plans. Until I mentioned I wasn't too fond of the UHP then he looked in my binder and said he's not sure why he picked those cause he prefers the style 20 for my size. So that got changed. He didn't seem fazed or worried about the size which is 650cc. Just calmly reminded me that it is a large implant. Starting to feel rushed now. I know they would have answered all of my questions but of course my mind goes blank when time comes. Thursday is scheduled day and my two boys have their first day of "school" I was hoping to be able to take them and then head to my post op appointment the next Monday but I don't think that will be happening. Paid remaining balance :( hate to spend that kind of money on just me, could have got the kids something cool or paid off something or saved more for something for everyone. Got four different meds, antibiotic, pain relief, Valium and promethazine. Not a fan of taking pain meds or any meds for that matter. Had 3 c-sections and hardly took anything more than Ibprofin. Super nervous/scared more than excited today. 3 more days
