I have spent hours on here reading all of you lovely ladies spill your guts, and now it's my turn! I am 27 years old, 5'2 and 110lbs at my heaviest. I have three kiddos, 7, 6, and 3, all were breastfed. I have never been happy with my breasts, but oh.man. those babies did not help anything. I finally went in for my consultation today with Dr. Foley and I am so excited! I was totally anxious before going in, I think mostly that he would tell me something that would just crush my dreams, but everything he said was amazing! All of the little things I was worried about seem to not even be problems. I was fortunate to get to schedule my surgery in just two weeks... so soon! I have a physical with him on Monday, so I need to come up with my list of questions I was too excited to remember today :) I am going pretty conservative, I'm a small A now and am debating between 225cc and 250 (mentor gel under the muscle). I want it to be discrete, and since I always have padded bras I think I can pull it off at that size :) Surgery is scheduled for July 10th! Whats your best advice?!

9 days to go... Pictures!!!
I had my physical/last appointment before surgery today. The office visit was pretty rushed, which I was a little bummed about, but the front desk gal is super friendly and told me to call anytime, even if it was just to get her opinion on something. I (for now) decided on the 250's... you knew I would, right!? I am feeling really anxious, worried about after surgery and not being able to be a great mom for my kiddos. And super worried about not being able to sleep. I think more than anything else, I am so stressed about my husbands family noticing right off the bat and being judgy and isolating. They are a big group and already I don't quite fit it (I am the only one who ever wears makeup, does my hair, dresses up, etc). Ahhhh, so dumb that I even have to worry about what other people are going to think! Anyone have experience with others disapproval? What do you say if someone asks you if you got them done? I don't want to flat out lie, but seriously if I'm not throwing them in anyones faces it's none of their business. Any idea's on good answers?

Yay!! How are you feeling? I will feel super excited and sure and then all of a sudden the reality will hit me and I have like a mini panic attack! I can't imagine what I am going to be like in a few days, seriously don't know if my heart can handle the ups and downs for another week!

Did some shopping today...
Shopping for post surgery with three grumpy kids today... not so good of an idea. I did find what I needed to, a front closing supportive bra from walmart (7.88, much better than the 32.50 for the one from the office!), arnica Montana (is this what you used?), and some odds and ends. At this point I am super excited, but am exhausting myself by thinking too much. I am sort of feeling like I made the decisions I needed to make, and now I just wish I could shut down that area of my thinking until surgery date is here. I have been wearing my rice sizers inside my bra for two days and so far so good! I don't want to take them out! Probably a good thing...
I am realizing that no matter how much I try to prepare myself for recovery and to not have any expectations for myself, I am still somehow convinced I am going to have this easy breezy recovery, which I realize is totally not necessarily likely. Not sure why I can't shake that. I don't want to set myself up to be disappointed or discouraged afterwards. I am a little afraid of having an emotional breakdown after everything is said and done... or maybe I'll get it out of the way before surgery day is even here! ha!
