38 Years Old, 2 Kids, 5'6" and 125 Lbs. Minneapolis, MN

I had my BA last Thursday, April 14 at 10am. I don't remember going to sleep or waking up really until I was in a completely different room! Even then I was having a hard time staying awake. Everything went very well and I have had very little pain so far. Yesterday was the worst for pain because it was my first day back to work. Driving and working at my desk is a little tough for me right now but I'm taking Tylenol to help me through the day. So far, I have no regrets and am happy with the size. Looking forward to seeing the end results but in no hurry. I have attached some pics of before and after.

Phase let me know if you have any questions if you are considering getting BA. This site really helped me prepare for what I could expect and I would love to pay it forward to anyone that has any questions. Also, if you're on the other side and looking for tips on anything at all.

Good luck to all you lovely ladies... At all of your different stages of your journey!!

I had my pre-op physical and fitting this afternoon... along with making my payment!! All is coming together and now I just need to wait 13 more days until it's my turn. After taking to the nurse, my husband and trying on different sizers I decided to go with 421cc's because the 491cc's looked way too big. With how active I am and wasn't too continue being they just didn't seem like a good fit. I'm happy with my selection and so happy my hubby was able to be there too. We were both able to ask the questions that were on our mind and now we both have a better understanding of what to expect and how important it is to follow drs orders during recovery.

It is so great to be able to read so many of yours experiences to have a better idea of what I can expect to deal with. It definitely helps and I want to thank you all for sharing!!

I've been a little nervous that I don't really know exactly what size I want to go and second guessing my decision from the first consultation/fitting when I decided to go 491cc. Part of me is worried that will be to big. My husband is going to come this time too and help me pick the perfect size. I also scheduled another consultation with the ps so we can discuss my hopes and expectations with some wish pics and last minute questions. I can't believe in 2 short weeks I'll have a new upper profile. Then my new journey being on the other side of surgery starts. All in all I am very excited and feel so blessed that I have the opportunity to change something that really does effect how I feel about myself so many different ways. Being on the road of pain to recovery!!
