WORTH IT

I started with C's when I was about 14 now after having 3 kids I am a 36G. I've been to physical therapy the chiropractor been on pain meds you know the works Well 2 years ago my doctor suggested a BR but back then I was to scared idk what happened but one day I woke up in pain as usual and decided enough is enough I talked to my doctor (a new one) and she said I didn't look big at all huh? 36G and not big? I thought she was crazy after fussing with her for about a half hour she decided she'd let the PS make the final call so I made an appointment for a consult and here I am my pre-op is march 7th and surgery is march 27th. I am nervous and excited all at the same time I even wake up grabbing my chest (bad dreams) lol but I'm sure it will be worth it :-)

Well, your doctor is crazy for saying they arent big! I was a 36i before my surgery, I am not about a dd or so. the swelling hasnt gone down enough for me to get a proper measurement. And I had the nightmares too. But it really is easy. You go in and before you know it your going home. Your so drugged up you dont really care whats going on lol. Good luck with your pre op and surgery and keep us posted!

Welcome to RealSelf, Mrs. Thomas! The funny thing is right now you are waking up grabbing your chest, but since I've had my surgery I wake up holding them...I think to protect them from any harm because I don't want to do anything to lose them! Good luck!

Today I had my pre-op to my surprise I had a little bit of a panic attack I'm not sure why because I had been excited all day to go but when I was their my heart was racing and I kept tearing however as soon as they called my name all was well. My PS staff was awesome and very helpful with answering all my questions and when I spoke to my PS he assured me he was very confident that I would do great and look great in the end as well I walked out of there with a smile on my face feeling great! Heres to a set of full perky C's come the 27th :-)

I have 14 days left to go before my surgery and I find my self getting really stressed out I guess the closer I get the more real it becomes. I'm so worried I will forget something at the day of the surgery like telling him that my right breast is a little larger he wants me to remind him and now I worry I will forget and have noticeably lop sided boobs lol. I also went out on the 10th to celebrate my 30th birthday and fell and sprained my ankle the gave me tylonal 3 hoping that wont affect anything I only took one pill tho I also noticed I seem to be exhausted but I believe that is due to being so excited that I cant sleep at night I stay up thinking about my surgery lol so I pay for it the next day. I think I'm going to wash all my clothes and get my day of bag ready to go :-) Oh also my mother did the coolest thing for my birthday she went to victoria secrets and got me a bra and panty set to remind me when I'm stressing or freaking out what its all about and how soon enough I can wear the pretty bras again lol I loved it :-)

The nerves and preoccupation are totally normal. And the Tylenol with Codeine shouldn't hurt anything. And since your boobs and the surgery are all you will probably be thinking about over the next two weeks, I bet you won't forget to metion that big girl to him! I'll be thinking of you!
