Getting there! - Miami, FL

Hello ! I've read several reviews and found it very helpful so I figured I'd do the same and perhaps I can help someone someday also. I'm also rather nerved up as my surgery has yet to pass! 6 more days! EEk! Yay! OMG! Someone strap me down!

I'm 42, 5'5, 125 lbs. Somewhat active lifestyle as I do serious massage work and have been for 20 years now. No "fluff and buff" in my work... (ha!)

I live in Massachusetts and will be traveling to Florida to have my breast augmentation. I chose Florida as I looked around and found the pricing to be best as well as figuring doctors down there are more likely to do the augmentations more often. My doctor is double board certified and is highly recommended. I've been in contact with them for over a year now, made tentative dates 3 times and well, 4's the charm I guess.

I'm very proportionate except for the boob sag. When I was much younger I weighed about 150+ . I lost 25+ lbs in less than 30 days (stress induced btw) and ever since then I've had boob sag. I used to be a good 36B now it's more like 36A. Deflated 36B. I'd like to be around 36D. I have some padded bras but never liked how they felt and usually just walk around as me. I'm looking to be fuller and larger breasted to go with my smaller waist and larger hips. I may have to have a mini lift but really really want to avoid that as I don't like the look of the scar! I'm hoping there can be something else that can be done to avoid it.

I've tried the rice test a couple times and looks like around 450+ cc. But we'll see. I fly down to Florida Tuesday July 10, get my consult and July 11 is the Big Boob Day! Yay!

I haven't told my parents and my Mother, well, she lives 2000 miles away so I figured when I fly out to visit she'll see then.

I've told several friends and only one chose to tell me horror stories (yesterday) - That really bothered me. So! I won't be chatting with her anytime soon... sheesh!

So all I can say now is stay away from the negativity and naysayers, do your homework, stay positive and keep positive people around you!

I've hired a caregiver through care.com. I posted a job listing and I had 20 applicants and narrowed it down to this one. She's very nice, very straight forward (required) and we are very similar.

I bought a few zip up sports bras at JC Penney, on sale for $15 !! Bought 36D. Have all my button up shirts, nightwear (silks and satins), bendy straws, tylenol.

More later... =)
