I scheduled my ba for Oct 30th. I have to pay balance on Wed of this week. I'm very nervous and second guessing every thought. I have asymmetry and have always wanted to get it fixed. I feel awful naked and bras can be difficult. I have chosen dr Johns in Monroeville PA, after two other consults. He recommended going saline 350/325 under muscle. I think my biggest concern (besides everything that can go wrong medically, which is big for me) is the time off work. The surgery is scheduled for Wed, and I'm planning on working the next Monday. I have desk job, although steps are involved and I don't want anyone to know. I work alone for the most part, except when my boss is there and that's not very often. What's everyone's opinion on this? I have to trust my surgeon on the size, because I'm just not sure anymore. Lol. The way my bras fit, pics with clothes on with my current bra and the pics with implants in with clothes on really isn't a difference, so I may regret not going bigger, my importance is "evening out" rather than size. He feels certain with saline he can make "almost perfect". I don't think I can expect much more than that. Anyone have issues with asymmetry? Will post pics maybe today/tomorrow. FYI - most of my payment is refundable - hahaha, yeah that worried. O ya, what did everyone's prescriptions cost? Roughly.

As long as you feel about your PS selection then continue reading all these success stories and let yourself focus on the positive outcome, instead. That's what I had to do to get over the fear of risks. I had checked out my PS had referrals and felt confident in him, so I had to focus on that and the majority of positive outcomes. Having also had asymmetry I know how badly you must want this, so please know that once the initial recovery is through you will be so ecstatic! I find myself going in the bathroom to sneak peeks! I had a prescription for antibiotic, anti-inflamm, narcotic pain med, valium for spasms - I think it was just over $20! If you could swing the following mon-tue off as well, I would recommend it. Those last two days of rest can make a world of difference. However, if you can't, be sure during your days off to really take it easy, but not too much - move around to keep swelling down but don't exert, to be sure that you will be at your best for Monday. Good for you for making this move and keep us updated! This site can really be a huge support during the process!

Getting Closer

So I am still very nervous, although the bf helped this weekend. He is very supportive in whatever I want to do. He says hes not letting me back out now, after the years it took me to get this far. My big concern is going to big, and when I showed him the approximate size, he agreed that I shouldn't go bigger. He knows I don't want noticeably big. Hes taking off work while I am off, and even said hed go bra shopping with me. What a guy! (Im sure theres a plus in it for him. lol) Anyway Im bored at work and thought Id look at boobs. hahaha. I will try to post pics tonight as I do want opinions on the asymmetry. Currenty I am 140 lbs (trying to loose bout 10, but that's pushing it) Will loosing 10 more after surgery, change them awhole lot? Im 5'7". Is not letting myself think about the surgery to much a sign I don't really want it? It seems it took a lot more for me to schedule the surgery, then ALOT of anxiety was immediately gone.

I'm trying to post some before shots on here, lord you guys must be photographers. I was doing them alone, and I wouldn't have thought a pic was so hard to take. Anyway, here they are.... I'm looking for people's opinion on the asymmetry. Do you think this is able to get balanced with saline implants? Thinking 300-350 range.

Try to find some wish pics and see if your PS agrees that the size he's chosen would give you what you're looking for. I can't offer help with the nerves... I was a nervous wreck!! Deep breaths, research, and positive thinking!
