Hello!

I am currently awaiting my surgery date and am still undecided on my size. I am a 34b right now 135, 5'5 and am looking at doing 400ccs natrelle silicone unders. My doctor let me bring a pair home and I believe I am going to love them. I see pictures of girls who went bigger and I like those pictures as well. I hope I won't end up wishing I went bigger.

Less then a week away! So my BA day is almost here next Tuesday! Last week I started taking my vitamins called Vitamedica and my Iron supplement. I need to get my iron up. I'm so excited for my big day. This Saturday I am going Bra shopping for a few zip up front sports bras. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I am also a little nervous on the recovery time. Luckily I have 7 days off of work so I hope that is plenty of time. Does anyone know of a good website for "wish boobs"? I feel as if I have been looking at boobs for over a month now and I still undecided on how I want mine to look. But I will keep looking.

Thank you for taking the time to share your story on RealSelf! That's awesome your PS let you bring home a pair of implants. Be sure to show your PS pictures of your "wish boobs" to make sure you're on the same page! Here is a list of supplies you may need to purchase or set up for your recovery. Looking forward to your updates...you're almost there!

So the big day is May 21 and I'm starting to wonder how long will recovery be? It's on a Tuesday would I be able to go to dinner that Friday?

You'll be fine for dinner on Friday! I had mine on Monday and I am back to normal pain wise (still limits ie lifting etc). I haven't taken Tylenol in two and a half days and feel great. Good luck!

Hi, we have basically the same stats. I'm a little over 6 weeks post op. I got natrelle 492cc's mod plus profile. I LOVE them. I'm under the muscle with areolar incision. I was done on a Tuesday and had a surprise B-day party for my hubby at my house that Saturday and was fine. Just needed help setting up. You should be fine by Friday to go out to dinner. The most comfortable sport bras ever are hanes bandinis! You can get them at Walmart and they come in 2 packs. They are not zip front so in the beginning I would step into them and pull them up to put on. I only wore the zip up I think for 2 days,,I just didn't like them and the bandinis are soooo comfy! It's all I wearing even now!! I still haven't bought any real bras,,not even sure what size I am yet,,LOL! Good luck with your suregry. Can't wait to see your results
