Hello,
I am 5'4" 125lbs. And yes I am 50. I know the thought of doing this at this age is probably crazy. That's my biggest fear is being judged by people I know. But I am a 34b and have always been shy about my size. Never felt comfortable in swim suits either. I have 2 kids. My youngest is my 17 yrs old daughter and she is my biggest supporter. She thinks I should go for it and not worry about what other people say. So I had my pre -op appt yesterday. The nerves have picked in for sure. Only 4 days til my surgery! I still can't believe I'm doing this.

So glad to read your post... I’m 45 and seriously considering BA after nursing 3 kids. I have the same fear.. about being judged.. and my teenage daughter is also one of my biggest supporters! My other big fears are feeling them all the time & potential complications. Are you experiencing this as well? I'm pretty sure I’m set on doing this but it helps to know others share your concerns.

Hi, yes I have had the same feeling your having. I certainly felt the booby blues. I'm pretty tough but this is a challenge. The first week is the toughest. Going thru into my second feeling a little better. In the end I know i will be happy., Just be prepared for a slow,process and results. Good luck to you! Message me anytime.

So it's the day before my surgery and boy have I got butterflies. I'm hoping I made the right decision in what size I'm going with. Decided to go with hp silicone cohesive gel (415 -450) under the the muscle . my doctor had been so helpful and he will,see which,looks,best on me. Also, a bit asymmetric so my right side will have to go bigger to even out. Been doing nothing but cleaning and catching up laundry so I don't have to stress about that. Here are,couple of pics of,me now. I'll share tomorrow if I feel up to it. Surgery is at 8:30 a.m. Have to be there at 7:30.
