I go at 7:15 tomorrow morning for my BA!!! OMG! I am starting to really freak out, so many thoughts in my head. I am a big visualizer if something stressful is coming up, but I simply cannot visualize my new breasts. It's still weird to think about. I had a dream last night that Justin (the fiance) dropped me off at the surgery center and went to find parking, then still hadn't come back at 9:30 and the doctor was all "well, we really should get going," and I just kept saying that the parking here really must suck

.

So, I am a little concerned about the size situation. My PS told me to just trust him and that he understands what I want. But I think he may be a little on the conservative side and I really don't want to end up too small. I have my heart set on a D, but I am not totally sure that he and I have the same concept of cup sizes. He says I need HP, 350-400cc and I really would like to stay on the higher side of that estimate. I don't want to feel like I threw a lot of money away on something I am not happy with, and that is my worry. So, tomorrow morning, we get to talk one last time before the procedure and I am going to tell him I'd rather he err on the side of too big than too small...sound reasonable?

FREAKING OUT!!!

Oh, and I am going with Mentor silicone, should have said that. I am so glad that my fiance is going with me tomorrow, and that he'll be in the room to talk with the PS before the surgery. Seriously, so excited/freaked/anxious!

I can't even imagine how nervous you must be! Good luck! I'm sure the experts will be right in to reassure you though!

Good luck tomorrow - you'll be fine.

And yes, go ahead and tell him tomorrow morning to err on the side of bigger rather than smaller. Never hurts to bring in a picture of your favorite ideal-post-BA boobies one more time too.

That said, you need to let go of the idea of a cup size and hanging your happiness on that. No matter what size you end up, you'll wear different cups in different bras (I wear anything from 32C to D to even a few DD's in some wacky brands/styles - which is nuts). Focus on how they look, not the arbitrary cup size some random manufacturer sewed into the band of the bra.

It's gonna be awesome - enjoy the ride!

Definitely tell him to err on the bigger side, and BRING PICTURES of the final fullness you are trying to achieve so he has it right here in front of him.

good luck!

Good luck tomorrow!!

I know what you mean about not being sure of the size, and every implant is different on every person, that is why we all stress over-all shape and look via pictures, not cup size. My ps pinned the pictures up I brought in while in the or so have a referance.

Relax, take a deep breath!

Thanks ladies! I am still freaking out, but your responses have helped me feel a little better

. I know I need to let go of the cup size thing, but that's the unit of measure he discussed, so I am a little fixated. My biggest worry is that I will not be firm enough and he will go conservative. I definitely do not want to be all breasts, but at the same time, I want it to be a significant change. I am just having pre-op jitters big time! Sleep last night was difficult, tonight is going to be even worse!

You sound just like me - except I wanted him to err on the side of smaller. Having just been through this seven weeks ago, the memory is still very fresh. It all comes down to trust. You did your research, picked the best PS for you, and discussed in detail what yhou want to achieve. He has pictures and knows what you want. A difference of 30 or 40cc's isn't going to be enough for you to not LOVE the result. Relax and try to get some sleep.

Hope everything goes great! I'm headed out the door in a couple hours for my first post-op and to get my mummy-wrap removed.

I'm sure you'll do great.
