Goal & Motivation Behind Surgery: To finally...

Goal & Motivation Behind Surgery:
To finally feel like a real lady and stop being so self conscious.

I've consider this surgery over ten years. I have been saving up for the procedure for a very long time. I'm hoping it all goes well and I don't regret it. I've researched for a very long time. Kept up with Realself success stories and horror stories. I have weighed the risks.

Cons:
- Downtime - no working out for a short period of time :(
- No more butterflies exercises
- COST
- Possible negative feedback and people thinking less of me after they find out about it
- Foreign objects inside of my body

Pros:
- Finally going to feel like a lady!!
- Improve symmetry
- No more worrying about how many layers I need to wear on top to even out the flat chest with the curves below.
- Clothes will finally fit me on top!


Unknowns I'm worried about:
- Choosing the correct size for my lifestyle and my size
- Pain and reaction of going under anesthesia
- How my boyfriend will react - he knows, but he's worried I might go too big or too small.

I'm feeling pretty good right now that I've schedule my surgery date. I almost backed out of the whole thing after reading the explant part of realself.com and had a nightmare of my boobs all distorted.

As of now, I recently have decide to go with 300cc on the left and 250cc on the right. I was going back and forth on: 275cc/255cc or 300cc/250cc. I tried on the sizers for the 300cc/250cc.. thought they were still large. Tried on 250cc/200cc - my breasts didn't look as symmetrical as it did with the larger size. They didn't have a 275cc on hand so I didn't get to try it out.

I've learned a lot on this site. Everyone will have different experiences and results. But as long as you know what to expect COULD happen, you'll be fine. I love how ladies have put a to do list before the surgery - if you have tips please share.

So far the tips I have picked up are: Complete chores & errands before surgery Have soup and food ready for the next fews months Buy some frozen peas to help the swelling Have my netflix que ready to go to be a bum for at least a week Start wearing lose clothing and padded bras to work, and try to wear scarfs to cover them up... Buy button up shirts and have hooded sweatshirts ready to go.
Thank you for everyone who has posted - you have helped with my decision.

Went to my pre-op appointment, decided on the 300 & 250. The staff was really nice and explained the sizers are actually larger. So if I liked the look of 275 & 225, I should go with the next size up. I'm super excited to get it done I know everything will turn out great.

Bought a new sports bra from Victoria Secret - zip up front. Also have been buying some stylish button up shirts and blending them into my attire for work... Feeling excited - not nervous a bit at this point. So happy I found this site - everyone is so awesome!! Thank you ladies!
