So I admit that I have not exactly been classy or appropriate at all times about my wanting breast implants. In fact, I must just about have blurted it out to everyone I know.
Of course most girls have responded with a "NO- you don't need it", even some men.
My parents couldn't care less as I live half way across the world from them, I could probably cut my arm off and they'd still be "ok- love you. And hope to see you soon! bye".
The only people I was nervous telling was my in laws. (Note: all of them has had some combination of a rhinoplasty(twice), eye work, face lift and breast surgery. Well unlike a nose job I think people think of a breast augmentation different. Plus my sister in law had hers done with the wrong profile and volume which led to a reduction/revision years later and she had so many problems with men being innapropriate with her (literally grabbing her breasts in a work environment) etc.
My inlaws are thus concerned that I might have the same problem and only care for my well being 100%. I personally think they might be a little disappointed in my decision and have politely insisted that I shouldn't think I need it. That's why my husband called to notify them after we did the deposit- so its not negotiable, more just telling them.
So my MIL is actually flying all the way to help me through my first days- thank god or my husband would probably eat chinese every night( which incl.me!).this way I'll have someone to cook at least and eat real(home made) food!
Ps. I'm still blurting it out to everyone I know.

Things I want - now that I will have boobs
Victoria's secret makes me drool, are these not just awesome and most of them are on sale!
Oh well, I went ahead and bought 3 of the bikinis, number 1,2 and 4 except number 4 I got in pink.
23 Days until my surgery
Yes it's official, I am getting my tata's! I am hoping for loads of emails and flowers and sexy underwear from everyone!
My consult went...
great!
I went to see Dr Izenberg and he is just so sweet and adorable! Yesterday was his 30 year "anniversary" of how long he has been doing this. Experience has got to count for something, right?
Actually Dr Izenberg is incredibly well respected and considered the "boob guy" in town. He is very sincere, which always says a lot and came across as very interested in my life.
So we talked about silicone companies, profile shapes, size, complications, statistics, my satisfaction which as he put it is his satisfaction and a whole lot more.
He took my measurements - a perfect triangle as he said, and then let his nurse do some fittings with me.
The didn't have moderate profile implants in 375cc's so they said that they would contact their rep and ask them to loan them some- as they are $800 each- and due to my busy schedule Dr Izenberg offered to see me on a Saturday at my convenience and to do a final pre-op over the phone.
Part of my going back is to do a physical and of course final sizing. I am also to do a CBC to make sure I'm not anemic.
As part of my recovery Dr Izenberg recommended use of a pain pump which helps speed up recovery. When asked about additional scarring i was told it only leaves a almost invisible scar the size of a pencil point. This comes at a fee of $250. They actually gave us a 10% discount which I thought was very nice. All thanks to my husband of course.
After every thing I paid a deposit, as part of my total fee to secure my surgery date.

Starting from scratch - AGAIN
So after all the hassle to reschedule me at a certain prefered institution I am now back to square 1 again.
(I was booked on the wrong day and they had no other date to reschedule me too)
So now I am set up to go see Dr Paul Izenberg.
I called Pat who is covering for his surgery schedular today and she set me up for an appointment monday because they can't hold my prefered surgery date without a consult and deposit.
This time I am taking my husband with me. I have already done the fittings but I really want his opinion in terms of size. As I mentioned previously we where thinking 20mentor 400 cc's but that might change.
I have a feeling he is going to tell me they are going to be too big. And knowing him, he is going to obsess about my surgery for the next 4 weeks. I am most likely going to regret him coming but I rather have him know 110% what is going on as apposed to him wondering and bothering me with 100 questions!
Oh gosh I can just imagine the looks and expression of concern I will get when they are all swollen and the one is higher than the other during recovery. Maybe I should get him a recovery manual...
I don't want to jump the gun but if my consult goes well I'll be having surgery in less than 4 weeks. More like 25 days. Yikes!
How exciting and nerve wrecking. I don't really know how to feel about it.
Surgery is a big deal and I don't know how I will handle the recovery by any means. I have a feeling I won't be the tylenol girl, more the valium kind.I'm such a wuss.
The other thing is that I need to find someone to help me during the 1st 24-48h. My surgery will be at 7:30am which means I should be out midday at least- all depending on how well I can get off the anestesia. Hopefully my husband can be done with work early and take me home or I'll have to ask one of my girlfriends to drive me home and stay with me until he gets home. Then there is the next day during which I will need someone too. The rest of the time my husband will hopefully be home to help me.
His holiday starts 2 days after my surgery, I purposely wanted him to not be off those first couple of days because he only gets a week and I want to be "conscious" and able to enjoy some of it with him as apposed to him having to sit in the house all day with me during the worst part of it.
