I'm 5' 4" 125 lbs. a mom of 2 - 4 weeks post op! - Washington

Wow, were do I start! I guess I'll start with a little about me. I'm 5' 4" 125 lbs. a mom of 2 (15 & 13) and married to a wonderful guy! I'll be 40 this summer and I guess you could say, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to me :-) I kind of work at home other than all the wife mom duties. Last year I started working out, before we went on a big family trip, and currently still do work out 6-10 hours a week. I lost over 15 lbs and a few of those came off, well you know where, my BOOBs! I nursed both my kids and loved how nice and full I was during that time. But with weight loss, age and having children I lost that fullness and I would love to have it back. So last year I told my husband that I know what I want for my 40th! So here we go 21 days till the BIG day.

I've been to 3 consultations and have chosen a PS. I am sure I have chosen the best one for me. But now all the craziness has started! Nerves, more questions, anxiety, sleepless night and oh yea I guess you ladies refer to it as boob envy! (.)(.) to ( . ) ( . ) what to do? I have done everything to making the rice sizers to taking a after surgery bra size to my PS and trying on the gel sizers in the office. I had originally chosen 360 to 375 cc's and now not too sure what to do. I don't want to be [RS bleep] star size, LOL, but don't want to be too small. It's all the reasons why we are doing this, Right? I currently am not sure what size I am. In my consult appointment I was told I was a 32 B and I would like to be, I am pretty sure a "D". My concern is I don't want HUGE "DD" or "DDD" so if I said a full "D" what will happen? When I found this site I read lot about how you loose cc's by going under the muscle. After 3 consultations I hadn't been told that. So I called my PS and talked to the poor nurse. Oh and when I told her I had a few questions she asked when my pre-op appointment was and I said I didn't have one and thought that it was strange. But now I have one for 4/24! Thank goodness! Pretty sure I'm not the only freak out there worried about this huge decision, but I sure feel like it. Thank goodness for all you BOOB sisters here, haha. What to do- 390, 400, 425??? I do know that I am having Mentor- gel silicone and going under the muscle.

I am pretty open about having breast augmentation, all my family including my children know I am doing this and are very supportive! My husband is taking the week off and is great about cleaning up the house, doing laundry, grocery shopping (thank goodness for cell phones and texting pictures to see if this is the right whatever it might me from the store) and whatever else comes up (oh like the kids ortho and a doctors appointment for one of the). I know he can do it! Oh and he also has offered to message my BOOBs when needed, LOL!

I had a mammogram a couple weeks ago and everything come back great! Went to the ob/gyn this week and had blood work done today. Other than reading a lot of posts here I've just been trying to go to all my classes at the gym that I can. I don't know how I'm going to make it not going for 6-8 weeks, there are days I go 2 times so I don't miss out on classes! I guess I could walk to the gym and focus on leg weights. But I am going to miss my Step, Pump and Zumba classes (for sure it's going to be 8 weeks for those classes) and all my gym friends!

I'd like to say "THANK YOU" to everyone for posting about your experiences and any comments you might add. You have all been very helpful! I apologize now for any spelling errors or grammar, not my specialty.

Okay! I'll spare you and stop babbling now! Talk to you all soon :-)
