WORTH IT
I have waited over 20 years for this... saved the $$ twice now and have had 3 consults. I spent my previous boobies fund on down payment for a house, new carpeting & flooring, and finally because Im turning 40 ghis year, Im doing this. Like others I have read about, I have heard negativity, scrutiny, and that Im being vain & selfish, but Im to the point finally that I really deserve this since Ive waited 20 years. I have a mammogram this a.m. and my date is set, so as long as nothing comes up, I will be having surgery in a month... Im crossing my fingers all goes well... quit smoking, eat very healthy, and work out so Im definitely working for this... Im scared though... of surgery, of judgment, of spending the money, of a botched job, or bad results or health issues...

Well you have done the good preparations -- everything else is out of your control, so have peace knowing you have done what it takes to ensure good results. And who cares what people might say? We can't live our lives worrying what people MIGHT say. Go for it, girl!! It's a pretty safe surgery and it's a gift you can give to yourself that keeps on giving!! I got mine done last year at 39 and to celebrate my 20th anniversary this year!! Do it!!!

I am going forward and as far as a personal gift (and one that my boyfriend will love), I definitely deserve it at this point... LOL. Thank you for the positive words, its hard around here in Northern Minnesota to hear positive things about breast augmentation because everyone is so judgy... LOL. I wish my surgery was tomorrow...

Im totally obsessed with information... reading as much as I can, looking at hundreds of pics, and trying to not stress out because I dont want anything bad to keep me from doing this in the next 28 days... Ive finally decided to do this and my worrysome self keeps thinking something will get messed up... I havent told hardly a soul except my best friend whos taking me and Ive finally just told my boyfriend of five years... hes excited (of course) and understands my obsession and is always supportive and great, but I still feel so nervous and scared... I plan on posting some before pics before the big day but I almost dont want to jinx myself yet... Lol. Yep, a little neurotic, I know... ugh. I wish it was tomorrow so I could stop feeling so anxious...

Thanks- I have been reading lots of stories and other people's journey toward feeling great about themselves! I am amazed at how many women have the same worries or had the same questions that I have had!

Omg! I totally feel you! I’m completely obsessed with this blog and overthinking the whole thing! Surgery in 6 days. I’m not sure I’m doing the right thing and especially not the size! Ugh! I settled on 345cc under muscle but really unsure it will give me what I want. Actually wondering if ANY size will give me what I want. It’s definitely confusing

Its getting closer and I see that others have posted wish pics... I am getting up the nerve to post my pre-operative pics, but I am so self conscious about my yucky boobs! LOL. Anyway, I found some pics that I am hoping to have a similar look or result
