Getting the ball rolling...

So I wanted to mainly start this blog to try and talk about all of the things I can no longer talk about with my friends, since they have heard me banter on about this surgery for a couple of months now. I am 28 years old and a stay at home mother of 2 children. I have been wanting a breast augmentation since after my first child was born. I breast fed but had some difficulty and it turned into a case of mastitis. From that point on I secretly wanted my “old” look back. My husband is a Marine, so if anyone knows anything about the military, it’s taken us 6 years to be able to save up the money. I had a second child and we were living in San Diego, which propelled me to finally start researching. You can’t beat the opportunity and the great doctors here in southern California. I went for my first consult in May 2008, I had heard of the doctor through a friend who had him do a revision surgery. I liked that he was double board certified, which meant if I had any complications like my friend I would not have to worry about finding another doctor to fix it like she had. He was very nice and relaxed with me, I felt very comfortable despite how uncomfortable the situation was for me. I thought about it over the next few weeks and decided to go for it. I called and set up the surgery date for a time suited best to where my husband could be with me, which stinks because it’s a week before our anniversary. Also it was a good 2 months I had to sit and wait. Which in retrospect, I am very glad I did it that way. It gave me time to really consider all of my options. I couldn’t decide whether to have silicone or saline. My friend who referred me had saline the first time and then got silicone. She really was pushing the silicone because of the feel but eventually the saline won out. I decided on saline because first off, if something were to go wrong I would know it right away and with two children and living off of a single income I didn’t want to rely on our medical insurance to pay for MRI’s, which would have to be done every few years if I had chosen the silicone.
