Even after months of not seeing them they remembered me by name and everything. That goes to show how much these two truly care about their patients. Any who, everything is great. No rotation of my implants, which is what everyone is all worried about with the shaped ones....I'm like yo...get the right surgeon and that ish don't happen...and my nipple placement and everything is on point (good to know...ain't no body got time for crazy nipple placement).
One big thing I've realized is they feel like mine. I mean...they were always "mine"...I paid for these suckers...but I mean it in a deeper sense. They belong on me. They make my body look proportionate and natural and how I've always felt I should look.
This journey has been interesting to say they least. Lots of laughs and lots of pain during recovery, however, I'm back to fully working out like I normally would. I never feel any discomfort when running (thanks sports bras and the inventor of them!) or lifting weights. I'm more confident about how I look and even with my personality and who I am and am still growing to be as a woman. I'm more open to sharing with certain people that I have implants (mainly to talk up how much I love my surgeon and his staff lol) and I'm constantly complimented on them. Sometimes that's a good thing...sometimes it deserves a nasty look to random men. But hey...that comes with the addition of getting awesome tatas.
One huge thing I notice is I no longer worry about how I look with no bra on. Before when I was so small, I'd wear padded bras under sports bras or figure out some crazy weird way to wear a bra under tank tops...[RS bleep] now I can wear certain tops strictly because I can fit in them! I can focus more on enjoying life and lifting heavy in the gym instead of "is my bra strap showing? Do I look like a boy with long hair and a big booty (thank you squats...)? Is my body not proportionate?"
That especially comes in handy with doing the fitness competitions and modeling. I am positive I would have never gained the confidence to go for it and also have the chance at being successful were it not for my new breasts.
I'm not saying breasts define a woman, but how she feels about herself does!
Another huge thank you to everyone at Dr. G's office and of course, the main man himself!
Can't wait to post about my new adventures and lend advice to anyone going through their own!
Hold on to your hats....or <i>[RS bleep]</i>.... Heh....
I'll get the bad [RS bleep] over with first, then maybe we can move on to the fun [RS bleep]. Warning: do not give me any sorrow posts. I'm over that [RS bleep]. I get enough of it in my day to day life, homes.
My husband asked me for a divorce this past month. Yep....moved me across the country, rented a house, and then dropped the bomb on me. Things had been difficult with the move and his training and such, but never did I think he was as unhappy as he apparently has been. It just goes to show how someone can easily slip into the life of just going with the motions and forget what it's suppose to be like to have a truly happy life. I guess one day he woke up and realized he knows what happiness is suppose to feel like....and he wasn't feeling it.
The split has been easy. Very civil. Very clean. No kids and obviously I got the dogs....unfortunately since he moved me across the country and I wanted to go back to San Diego, he got everything else. [RS bleep]. Eh, not really. But he kind of is. Hehe.
However, since then, I have moved back to San Diego (yes Dr G, if you're reading this, I'm coming to see you soon...hold ya horses killa), reunited with the amazing group of friends I made here, and started working at the gym that I was a member of for 2 years before. It's not a high paying job...but hey...it's something. I've gotten two prospects for much better paying full time positions over the last 2 days, so I'm not too worried.
Another HUGE awesome totally rad thing that has happened....you ready for it?.....I'm gonna draw this out....that's how awesome it is. Ok just kidding I can't hold back anymore.....can I? Geez I'm an [RS bleep]. Ok....I was hired for a fitness modeling production! It's for a website that is launching that is essentially like the Facebook for fitness models. It's a source for casting directors to scope out potential models. This thing is huge seeing as how nothing has ever been done before, and I'm so excited to be a part of it! The exposure if this thing is going to be huge and I'm really hoping it'll open me up to more jobs as a fitness model.
Another cool thing....I'm happy.
Yeah....I know...crazy....I'm happy. I'm sure some people are like "what?! You're getting a divorce that was thrown on you out of left field! You're not suppose to be happy!" Well, lucky for me I'm a pretty good outfielder! Metaphorically speaking of course, I've never played baseball....couldn't catch that [RS bleep] if I had a giant baseball glove.
I did my wallowing and woe is me. I did my crying and asking why oh why. And honestly....I'm so over that [RS bleep]. It's so not me. I've gone back to doing things I love. Painting, writing, focusing on my dog, fitness....all these things I cast out to the side for a while to help focus on my husband's career and success. Well...won't ever do that again. It's been nice just being able to focus on me, my dog....and of course....my amazing boobs.
They're a year old now! I totally threw them a party of one with myself and downed a bottle of wine. (Totally not related to the divorce ladies....I use whiskey for those nights. Kidding! Kind of. I always have a friend. That means it's ok.)
Something that has popped up in my mind recently....when I am ready to start dating....is there some sort of obligation to be like "hey....bee-tee-dubs....these babies are only a year old. Top of the line silicone baby!"
I mean....I feel like it's almost like someone who is dating and has kids. Like....you don't intro the kiddos until it gets serious right? Soooo I can just not intro the tata truth until it gets serious, right? Or maybe I should just weed out the ones who totally won't be able to handle my blunt and awkward humor nature on the first date. "Hi nice to see you! This place is great! My [RS bleep] aren't real!" See which ones can hang. If the guy doesn't skip a beat and is like "that's cool they have amazing cheesecake here." Then I know I should keep him around. Maybe? No? Hmm...I have some time to think about it and come up with the best strategy.
So....crazy right?! My last post was about my husband grabbing my boob and we laughed about it. And now....I'm a single woman with amazing boobs. It'll be ok. It always is. But this is good news for y'all....I'm gonna be posting some cray cray CRAY stories on here about [RS bleep]. Yay!
Provider Review
Dr. G and staff have been absolutely amazing! He was so kind, calm, and comforting starting from the initial consult to the 24 hour post-op check up. He even called the evening after my surgery to check up on me and see how I was doing. Out of all the other surgeons I had met with, Dr. G made me feel the most comfortable and didn't make me feel like he was trying to talk me into the surgery and even though I was so small, he still made me feel good about myself. He also spent a good amount of time with me at the initial consult and didn't make me feel like he was just waiting for me to leave so he could move on to his next patient. The facility is beautiful, clean, and the surgery suite was spotless. Along with Dr. G, his staff was just as warm and friendly. His head nurse was very informative, kind, and made me feel like I could ask her questions all day and she would be ok with it. She was also very funny and helped me feel so relaxed about the entire procedure. She and Dr. G both make themselves available for questions at any time and encourage you to contact them if you feel the need to, even after hours. His board certified anesthesiologist was also just phenomenal. She called me a few days before the surgery and just went over step by step of the anesthetic process and answered all of my questions with a lot of detail and also didn't make me feel like she was rushing to get off the phone. She is also very funny and has a warm personality. When we met in person, she has one of those personalities that makes you feel like you've known each other for years. I would highly recommend Dr. G and his staff at Faces + to anyone who is looking for wonderful results, an experienced staff, and a doctor and staff they can put all their trust into. Every single person there, from the front desk staff to the technician who helped me get prepped in the surgical suite are some of the nicest and happiest staff I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. You can tell they all love their job and truly care for their patients.
