Adventures in boobieland....

[fitmomofthree]

Hello all you wonderful, awesome ladies!!! I am so thankful (and amazed) to be sitting here typing my story that I've been waiting for for so long!

It all started when I was in high school... I knew I didn't have much boobage compared to a lot of the girls in my school and was pretty self conscious about it. But I figured I would deal for now. Then I met a guy, married him when I was 19!!! Dumb!! No offense to anyone that has married at that age and been successful, but very DUMB for me!! He was a JERK! Divorced at 22...never gave a crap at all what he thought of my boobies. Gained weight while I was with him (ate to stifle the pain...some drink, some do drugs - I ate). Shortly after that I met the wonderful awesome man I'm married to now. Then I suddenly started caring about my body again Lost a lot of weight and of course boobage! So, when I was around 23 I seriously considered a boob job, but I knew I wanted to one day have a family with my boyfriend - soon to be hubby, so I decided to hold off. Had my son when I was 27, had my daughter when I was 29 and my other daughter (very much a surprise - after my husband had his vasectomy...oops! ) when I was 31. Breastfed all of them and loved it!! After I new I was truly, truly done with pregnancy and nursing, my boobs weren't that aweful. I actually got up to a B cup during pregnancy and nursing which was wonderful!! And I wasn't too far from that when I was done, but then, knowing I was done, I decided to kick my butt into shape!! Lost 25 pounds and any sign of boobs that might have been there at one time. Now I was down to almost a AA cup

That's when the serious thoughts of a boob job snuck back into my brain!! I casually started mentioning it to my hubby and started checking things out online. I actually found this website pretty quick, but didn't do much with it right away. My hubby has always been all for it, especially when I was 23!! But I wasn't ready then and now he thought we just couldn't swing it financially. He said if we had five grand to blow, sure, that'd be fine, but he didn't see how we could do it! This was in June of this year. Then I found out that my dad was planning to give me & my sister some money at the end of June, not for any specific reason. He races horses and said his horse did extra good this year, thanks so much to my dad!!! So I found a website that I used to refer me to a ps in my area and because they referred me, my consultation was free. I talked to hubby about it and said, what can it hurt, it's free, right?? He couldn't argue w/that! So, the date was set for July 8th for my first consultation with Dr. Hauw T. Han in West Chester, OH (Cincinnati area). I met with him and knew he was the one!! I felt very comfortable w/him and his knowledge of what he does!! And the price was totally right, very reasonable! So, I scheduled my ba that day, before I even talked to my hubby!! BA was scheduled for August 7th!!!!! Woohoo!!!! I got home, applied for a small loan through Capital One (who I also have a credit card with) to pay for about half of the surgery and decided to use some of the money my dad gave me to pay for the rest. All taken care of on my own and hubby could not argue w/me!! I called him and told him about applying for the loan, I was praying they would approve me and they did!!

So August 7th FINALLY gets here and I was nothing but excited!! I wasn't nervous mainly because I had already had three babies and was going to be knocked out for this! Piece of cake, right?? I got to the surgery center at a little before 10:00 am. Surgery scheduled for 11:00. They got me right in and prepped and ready! My ps came in to take some before pics and talk to me again about cc amounts. We were totally on the same page and decided on the 390 f/t 425 or 450!! Got to see my hubby one last time before they wheeled me back! Got a kiss and said see ya soon!! When they wheeled me into the room where they were going to do the surgery I actually said out loud, I can't believe I'm doing this!! I really couldn't. It just seemed like a dream...so unbelievable I was actually having a surgery to make my boobs bigger!! And very soon they put that dream potion in my tubes and I was off to lala land!! Woke up to see my sexy man (my hubby, not my ps ) sitting right beside me. A nurse came in and asked if I wanted anything to eat...crackers, jello, applesauce?? I picked crackers...big mistake! My mouth was like cotton! I barely swallowed the one little bite I took and then they brought me some applesauce...much better!!! Went over some stuff w/me...don't even ask me what! They actually thought I would remember?!? haha! I got dressed and they wheeled me to our car where hubby was ready & waiting. I remembe being half out of it on the way home and kind of hurting, but not too horribly. Got home, got in bed and slept! I was wrapped in my ace bandage so I couldn't see them, but I really wasn't too worried about it at that point. I was just tired!! Woke up that night and hubby and the kids went to get some KFC, so I slept some more. They got back, tried to eat some chicken...another mistake...just about choked!! So I just ate mashed potatoes & mac n cheese. I had percocet & a muscle relaxer plus I used the pain pump. So I took my meds as scheduled the first day. Tried to back off a little, very little the second day. I hated how dizzy I felt! And by day 3 I was just taking Advil and still had my pain pump!! Life saver!!! Praise the Lord for drugs By day four pain pump was out Kinda hurt that day and had to take a muscle relaxer...aahhhh!!! Now I'm on day 13 and I feel awesome!!! I just had my two-week post op appt. today and everything is healing beautifully and looking wonderful. I love, love, love my ps!!! He is awesome!!! So, now I'm just enjoying my new and improved look and luvin every minute of it!!!!

Thanks so much for reading! Hope I didn't bore you too much!! I love this forum, love Nikki and love all you girls!! You are all truly a gift from God!!

Hugs and kisses to all of you!!!

That was a great story! I was married to my first husband at 18. It only lasted a year. I too was young and dumb. I have found a wonderful man now and am married. I am glad you found someone just as wonderful for you. Good luck!

Loved your story girl! So glad your experience was so good. I too got married young, I was 21. We'd moved in together when I was 19 though, so it seems like I was even younger! It was rough early on, but we're going strong still! It is difficult to be married young when you're with the right person; I can't imagine how hard it is when you're married that young to someone who isn't good for you. Anyway, glad you're enjoying the boobs and thanks for sharing your story!
