Like so many other women, I have been reading stories on this site for months. Most have reinforced my decision to have BA and others have, well, scared the crap out of me! I have thought about doing this for years and finally decided to take the next step. Had my first consult on 4/8. It went very well. I really liked Dr. Wooten and had fun trying on sizers. My first reaction when I looked at myself was "Wow, those look really big!" I'm sure she was wondering why I was even there, as they were only 250cc and not that big. LOL She said that I just wasn't used to having anything up top. Very true!! After looking at the pictures I realized that they weren't that big. At my second consult on 5/1, I decided to go with 265cc, moderate plus, silicone implants. I was a little worried that would be too small because most women go with at least 300cc, but my PS assured me that it would look very natural and feminine. I trust her opinion so 265cc it is!
So anyway, a little about me.... I am 36 years old, no children (battled infertility for many years), 5'5" and 112 lbs. I have a very petite frame and currently wear a 32A. Hoping for a full B/small C and to just fill out my current clothes. Would love to be able to buy a bra that's not a padded, push-up. Don't think I've ever owned one. Depressing :( I can sometimes feel sexy in clothes with my extremely padded bras, but at the end of the day when the "boobs" come off, I feel like a little girl. I want to feel like a woman and not be embarrassed when my husband see me. Soon!
Surgery is still a little over a month away and I have a million thoughts going through my head. Is this the right decision? Will I like them? What if I hate them? Will they be the right size? What if there are complications? What will people think about me? UGH!! I drive myself crazy!! I am the kind of person who over thinks everything and am trying very hard to just relax and go with it. All of my friends who have had BA love them and have no regrets. Hoping I will be the same way.
Will post pre-op pics when I figure out how and work up the nerve.

Hi! Just thought I'd say whatsup - we have the same surgery date, and are having similar sized implants! You're quite a bit smaller than me, but it's still cool to know someone going in on the same day :)

Yay!!! It will be so nice to have someone to go through this journey with! Just a little under 4 weeks to go!

Thanks for sharing your story with us! I'm getting mine done a few days before you I am having all those nervous feelings too! Such a big decision but very exciting at the same time!
Do you know what type of incision you'll be getting?
May 20, 2013
Inframammary incision, under the muscle is what my PS recommended. Seems to be the most popular from reading all of the stories on here. Despite all of my nervousness, I am definitely excited too! It's a good thing this is a very busy month for me at work. Otherwise I'm sure I'd be going insane thinking about it every second of the day!!

Wow, what a roller coaster ride I've been on lately. I haven't been posting anything on here because I was beginning to doubt my BA was actually going to happen. It all started a month and a half ago when my ankle swelled. I figured my running had just reaggravated an old injury and didn't really think much of it. Everyone said I should have it looked at, so I did. Well, long story short, my lab work showed I had a positive ANA. Dr. said it could mean nothing or it could mean I have an autoimmune disorder. They wanted me to wait a month and have the labs done again. Yep, still positive, so they sent me to a rheumatologist. Of course I informed my PS's office of everything that was going on. When I got the second positive test results this week they canceled my surgery for next week and said to give them a call when I found out something for sure. :( Luckily I was able to get into the rheumatologist yesterday. He wasn't concerned at all and doesn't think I have an auto-immune disorder. He still ordered some further lab work to be sure. Either way, he said I was fine to have BA. Yay!!!! Immediately called PS and they tentatively put me on the schedule for 6/14. Only a week later than I was originally scheduled, so not too bad. They still want to wait for the lab results and want a note from the rheumatologist saying I'm ok to have the procedure. Guess I'm glad they're being cautious, but it's been an emotional roller coaster. Now I'm nervous that something will show up in my mammogram with the way my luck is going. Fingers crossed that everything is fine and 6/14 will be my B day!!! :)

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! You can always start by really overstuffing your bra right now if you're concerned about reactions at work after summer. We'd love some photos...here is a link on how to post them. (You can always wear a bra or tank top of you're not comfortable with a nude photo!)
