I'm 47 and I Think I Am Finally Ready...Modesto, CA
UPDATED FROM the47me
Let's do this!
I am scheduled for my breast lift with augmentation next week 11/01/16 with the pre-op appointment this Friday.
It has been ten months since I started consulting with doctors and have since lost 25 lbs to achieve a 28 BMI.
I've elected to go with 475 cc implants so I'll look proportionate to my lower body, with results likely to be at a very full 36DD.
I'm very excited for this, as I have always been very self-conscious about my small chest compared to my hips; when I was overweight you couldn't tell so much, probably why I always dreaded losing weight.
I'm so glad to have Dr. Wu as my doctor on this journey. She is a very diligent surgeon and wonderful person.

My Journey with 1, 2 and 3
A couple of months ago, I visited three different surgeons in my area:
#1 said I needed to lose weight, but could do the breast lift/aug regardless - the staff assistant provided my quote for everything to be done. The Dr. was not very personable and didn't seem too interested in my journey...kind of an impersonal way to go about a very personal and elective procedure.
#2 had good conversation on why I wanted this procedure, said I needed to lose weight, would see me again if I took my weight loss serious and then we would go from there including the pricing. No quote provided...yet.
#3 came in the room and had the ego of a "rock star". Looked me up and down, said I needed to lose weight and left; no care in the world. The staff gave me a quote. I actually returned to this office for more information and they showed me the same ego as the doctor. Really? Forget this.
I understand the bit about some surgeons not having good personal relation manners, but HELLO!!! Aren't they showing their so called "bedside" manners. Geez...heaven forbid something go awry and I have to spend extra time over and above the regular recovery period with these people.
So, anyway, I went back to see doctor #2 and I am very thrilled to include them in my journey.
I'm down 20 pounds so far because I am serious about physically feeling better, getting back into a nice shape and having great boobs. In a couple of months I'll see my surgeon again and hopefully I'll have lost some more weight.

Hello the47me! Congratulations on your first steps in this a journey and meeting with the doctors. And congratulations on your weight loss so far, very impressive! I had to recheck your CA location when I read about #3, thinking he was my #2. He actually said "it's because of my good looks..." Ummm, the appointment was about ME not his looks. That particular office aggressively pursued me too. Needless the say, I did not decide on him. Anyway, keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your journey with us. I am looking forward to seeing your progress.
