Ive been thinking about having a BA done for a few years now but haven't really had the money or the down time to have it done until now. I interviewed a couple doctors around the valley and decided on Dr. Parrish. He was great and him and his staff made me feel really comfortable during my consultation. Ive decided to do 375cc high profile gels subfacial. I am a 34b now and am hoping to be a small D when all is done. Im 5 weeks out and my nerves are going crazy already. Im extremely excited but also super nervous. What should I expect the day of surgery and those just before and after? Is the pain really as bad as some say? Will I really not be able to get around on my own for a whole week?! Any advice from those who have been through this would be a great help.

Ok, 23 days to go and Im not going to lie...im freaking out a little bit! Dont get me wrong, I really want this but just getting so nervous the closer it gets and the more of a reality it becomes. I just picked up all my medications and blood work came back good to go. Have my bag packed with some different bras and medications and misc. Clothing items and now just counting the days. I will be meeting with my ps next week to try on Sixers once again and make a final decision on size. Ive been reading all these stories and so many people wish they had gone bigger so, im leaning more towards 400cc's instead of the 375's..but who knows? Im going to try onsome sizers and show my ps my wish boob album that ive created and then leave the final desision in his hands. Afterall, he has been doing this for over a decade and I feel like I can trust him. He's been very up front and( brubrutally honest when needed ) lol...so I think he will do me right.

Welcome! You are getting so close! Are you looking at pictures like crazy? Mine is still over a month away and I am boob obsessed! I've read some really great stories and I've seen women able to move around in just a day or two. I started wanting 375, moved up to 425 and now I am thinking 475! It is so easy to keep wanting more! You are starting with more breast tissue than I am- I think 400 cc will put you where you want to be. Have you tried rice sizers at home yet? I'm trying to pull away with being obsessed with cc and think more about the look I want- it's so hard!

Haha..yes! Im so glad to hear that i am not the only one who is boob crazed now! I have been googling pictures of boobs and stories and reviews with what seems like most of my spare time lately! Im really getting nervous though. The closer it gets, the more of a reality it becomes and i am so excited but nervous!

I'm getting 505 but she said after swelling it will look like I have 440 so I think going a little bigger then what you want because after swelling. I still am freaked out that I picked too big but my husband, my ps and 4 nurses said that's a great size. So I'm trusting all of them, I tried them on today (440) with my tank too on and think they will look great! I think everyone over thinks about going too big and then after said and done wish they went bigger, so it's so hard to say.
