I did it!!
WORTH IT$6,290
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!!

Decided on 421cc
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!!

Hi! Thank you for your advice and support :) I ended up with 421cc's and I'm happy so far with them. Lots of swelling and dropping to really be sure but I'm not worried about not liking them. They're bigger than what I was starting with and that's primarily what I was looking for :) so far the recovery has been pretty good. Not much pain until my first day back to work. Driving and sitting at my desk was a little too much for me I think. Today I'm going to take it a little more easily.

Thank you! I thought I was beyond ready too. You look like you're recovering really nicely :) don't know that I'd be able to handle the amount of pain you went through. So I think you're the trooper!!

Only 2 more weeks!!
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!!

I think whenever you go back it'll be more uncomfortable feeling because you'll be using your arms a lot more. If you have vacation time and are even questioning it, take the time. That's just my opinion.
For me, driving is the most challenging.
I'm really happy with my surgeon. Not the best with people skills, I could care less, but great at his job. If you go and check out a variety of surgeons, pay attention to their nurses and support staff too because those are really the people you'll be working with mostly.
There are quite a lot advertised, but I don't know how to choose and don't want to go for multiple consultations. Honestly, don't even know how to begin with this step. I think I did my small research in what I want / need , but as far as the Dr...
Good luck!!
Good luck and congratulations on this journey in life!!
