Visitors' Stories -- Marci's Story (page 2)2-04-99 Well, it's official now. I called the doctor today to see when I could schedule my BA, and they told me that they had a cancellation on Tuesday! I am going in on Monday for the consultation and then I am getting it done on Tuesday. I was so worried that I would have to wait a month or two like I read that some women did. I wanted a Friday so that my husband could be home from work for a couple of days, but the next Friday that was open was not for a very long time. I am so excited now. I am lucky that there isn't much time between my consult and the surgery. I am getting a little nervous about it though. I am nervous about the pain and about how I am going to take care of my kids and everything. It's really hard because I have only told a few people and the ones that I would need to ask help from aren't going to know. Oh well. I'm sure it will all work out. 2-07-99 I am still so excited I just can't stop thinking about it. I can't believe my surgery is two days away. TWO days! Last night in bed my husband said, "Three days!" He hasn't really said much about this surgery, but I can tell he is a little excited. I don't mean just for the fact that I'm going to have bigger breasts, I think it is also because I am going to be more comfortable with myself and am going to like myself a lot more. He is happy that I am going to be happy about my breasts (FINALLY!). I think that will give me more motivation to work out and get the lower half of my body figure out. I don't think I mentioned it above, but I am 5'8" tall and weigh about 120 pounds. Anyway, it is going to be so weird to look down and see something there. I just can't wait. I am still getting really nervous about post-op though. I just don't know how I'm going to deal with the kids. 2-08-99 Well, today was a very interesting experience. I went to my appointment at about 2:00 and filled out all the paperwork, then I went in to talk to Dr. Melvin. He was a very kind, informative, nice man with a great accent. He was very knowledgeable and made sure that all my questions were answered and why he feels the way he does on many aspects of BA. The only part that I was a little disappointed in was when they helped me find out what size I would be. I thought that you would wear like a bra or something and they would insert different sized implants to see what size you liked. What happened to me was that I had a gown on that opened in the front, and I just held an implant on top of my breast with my robe over the top. It didn't really give me the best idea of how big I really wanted to be. I had a very full C size and a D size, and I really couldn't tell the difference. When I held them one in each hand, however, I realized that the D was a really big size. I was just afraid that I would end up going too small. I didn't want to look way too big either though. Anyway, I guess I'm going to have a nice, proportionate C cup size. Dr. Melvin made sure that the one I chose made me look like a sexy woman not just someone people would look at and say, "Oh my gosh, look at those boobs!" Anyway, it's all clear for tomorrow, and I just can't wait. He made me feel very reassured about the surgery, anesthesia, medications, and everything else that I was concerned about. His wife worked right there with him, and she was so great. They never once made me feel that I was doing something I shouldn't be. I keep having this nagging feeling that people won't understand why I got the BA. Then there's the part of me that really doesn't care as long as I love the way I look. That just really made me appreciate the great support that my husband has given me, and I truly love him for it. Thanks honey! Well, I am going to shave my legs since I won't be able to for a while, and I am going to do some last minute cleaning of the house. I am scared, excited, happy, and just tickled about the new chest I will have. Wish me luck. (more - click forward arrow)
