I have been waiting years to get implants. I started developing and then just stopped, likely tied to my PCOS. Even when I was heavy, my breasts were never large. When I was pregnant, my breasts never got any bigger either. As I've lost close to 100 pounds now, what little I had have slowly gone away - especially with working out. I feel very manly with my chest muscles and small breasts and I hate that I don't fill out shirts, dresses and swimsuits. I'm super nervous, but very excited!

Getting closer

I can't believe how soon the surgery is! I've bought my post-surgery stuff - ice packs, colace, button up shirts, and Hibiclens. Tonight I'm going to move all my hair stuff down and get my new clothes situated. I got all my meds already, except for the narcotic pain meds, which my hubby will pick up while I'm under.

Not going to lie, I'm freaking out a little bit. I've never had anesthesia and so I have no idea what to expect. I'm already planning on it being the most painful thing ever. Yikes! It's so close.

Sizers

Still haven't figured out my size. Know I'm going moderate, silicone, under the muscle, round. Liked 385cc, but hubby thought bigger. I have a sizing appointment right before my surgery to determine the final size. Here's me with rice bags at 400cc. Probably around this size. It's so hard to tell!!

My first meeting with Dr Tholen and his staff was amazing. Every single person I talked to was nice and helpful. They made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. The day of the surgery, I was able to try sizers again, and I'm so glad I did, because I ended up going bigger. Dr Tholen and his staff made me feel so comfortable and ready for the procedure. He understood exactly what I was looking for and I trusted his judgement completely. Everything that I experienced in my healing process, I was well prepared for, and it made it so easy. All of my appointments have gone smoothly, and I've had no issues. My scars look great, my new breasts have dropped nicely, and they are starting to really feel like my own. I've gotten so many compliments and would refer anyone to Dr Tholen!
