I joined this site almost 2 months ago, but never posted anything about myself. I have just been reading everyone else's before and afters and wasnt really sure what to say. I am getting a BA done on 3/25/13. Only a week away! Yikes! I'm so happy to have come across this site and to know there are many women who have already had a BA and are willing to share their stories and photos. I've always had small boobs and a larger hips, the lovely pear shape. I'm 36 yrs old, 5'2, 145lbs, and currently a 32/B. I'm hoping to be a C cup after all is said and done. I went to the post-op last Tuesday and decided on 400cc Natrelle. Hopefully they will be perfect! I want to look natural and not like I had a boob job. The only people that know I'm doing this is my wonderful supportive husband and my two wonderful daughters who are also supportive of my decision to go throuh with this. I feel that if I told them they would try and talk me out of it or get very upset. My husband isn't much of a boobie person so he knows I'm doing this for me and not for vanity. I think he's just as excited as me. What guy doesn't like bigger boobs? Lol! I just want to be able to wear nice outfits and bathing suits while feeling confident in them. I hate the feeling of padded bras and bikini tops. I want my top portion to even out my bottom. I have been working out but haven't lost much. I want to keep working out and loose like 10lbs. Does anyone have any tips on exercise after a BA? I'm worried that I will gain more weight during recovery. I'm sorry I do not have before photos to share my girls are homeschooled so they are always on the computer. Will post soon though. Thanks to all of you women out there that are brave enough to share their stories! Til later!

Hi, to all of you in boobieville! I wanted to clarify something. I think I posted that I had my post-op last week but I meant to say pre-op. It's kinda hard to type from my phone. I don't get the computer much since my daughters are always on it doing school and then my husband comes home from work and takes over it. Hopefully I will get to post some before pics before my surgery date. Lol!

That's awesome! It will be like I'm not doing alone. I will be praying for you on that day. I'm not sure what time I will be having mine. I'm still waiting on a time from the drs office. Do you have a time set? We will definitely have to update each other. Congrats to you too. Talk soon!

I have to be at the surgery center @ 10am. That means I have to lleabe my house by 7am. I live 2.5 hours away from where I'm having surgery. Also she said I can expect to be there until about 4 or 5 pm! The days are going by so slow.... ive never seen so many clothes I want to buy! All the things I've avoided because of my small breasts. I'm also revisiting the clothes I have now to imagine how they will look in the future. Its like i will finally ne putting icing on a cake :)

Hello "Boobs Wanted", I am excited for you. I too want boobies so that I can wear bathing suits, lower cut dresses, and not have to wear padding. I always joke about my bras having so much padding, that when I lay them out to dry on that my washer and dryer have cleavage. I know what you mean about not wanting to look like you had a boob job, and wanting to be balanced out. My hubby is not a boob man either, but I think he will be one after I get them. LOL. I too am going with high profile Natrelle, and am thinking about going with 470 cc's. All of my friends that have had BAs say to go bigger. I don't know what to think about that. I even went to the extreme of buying the Natrelle trial kit so that I can wear different sizes with my clothes for a day.

Hi achieved, thanks for your response! I also think my husband will be a boob guy after he sees them. It's awesome that they find us sexy without boobs, but we both know that once they get their first glimpse they'll be hooked, like kids in a candy store! Lol! I've also heard some women say go bigger, but I think its just an opinion and you should go with a size that you are comfortable with. If you are a small framed person like I am then going bigger will not look natural or even attractive. I am trying to go for a size that isn't too obvious but that will make me look better in shirts and bathing suits. From what I read in your post it sounds like you are going for a natural look as well. I worries about getting stretch marks if I go any bigger because I don't have much to begin with. I also don't want to worry about if they'll be too heavy or can't find bras to fit. I hear that can be a problem. Go with what feels right and take your doctor's opinion into consideration. If he's really good then he knows what's best for your frame. It is truly up to you though so no matter what do what will make you happy and not for anyone else. Best of luck to you and I know you will look great! Can't wait to see the outcome! Good Bless!

Hello to all in boobieville or soon to be in boobieville! I haven't posted in a few days because I have been recovering from a back injury. Nothing serious but I pulled a muscle in lower back during an ab workout. Ugh! Good timing since how I needed to get a lot of things done before the big day tomorrow but instead I had to lay around all weekend. I'm doing much better today so I've been playing catch up. I have to be at the clinic by 11 am. Hopefully the ps can get right to me because I don't look forward to not eating breakfast or having my cup of coffee. I get very weak and light headed if I go too long without food. I pray that when I come out of the surgery that I'm not in too much pain and the drive home is smooth. I'm taking a trash just in case I need to throw up but I hope I won't need it. Lol! I don't feel nervous or anxious at the moment but I'm sure that may change in the morning like as I'm walking through the door of the clinic. My knees will probably buckle out from under me or something. Lol! I'm going to enjoy the next hour just hanging out with my family since the next couple of days I will not want to get out of bed. I probably won't be able to post til I'm feeling better because my laptop is in the shop for repairs and I don't know if I will feel like trying to do it over my phone. It's more difficult. I will definitely take pics and post when I can. Sweet dreams to all of you ladies in boobie world! See you on the other side! :)
