Hi I just wanted to share a recent experience I have had and I feel somewhat guilty about, yet somewhat feel like it was okay. So anyways down to the point of the story I recently thought it might be interesting to get a consultation on implants, although to be honest unless I made a few deals at work me millions allowing me to retire about 35 years earlier than average and had some falling out with family where I would be able to make this type of move the possibility of following through is very low. I kind of justified making the appointment by feeling like it is a very superficial procedure so its not like I was leaving someone in the waiting room who needed actual medical attention, so anyways I took the plunge and did it. (If you live in AZ and want to know where PM me and I will let you know)
Anyways I emailed random places - wanted to make sure it was a female staff, as wherever I do anything femme it makes me super uncomfortable being around males, plus I find medical facilities to be somewhat intimidating. So I got a positive email back about getting a consultation at a place a few miles from home. I booked an afternoon appointment and spent the morning buying a tight sports bra as they suggested from Target and got underdressed and went. I explained (lying, which is why I feel guilty) when I arrived that I have thought about doing an upstairs procedure but leaving my boy parts in tact and living as a woman for more than just the time when I got home from work at night. They asked about financials - I told them I have wealthy parents in California (not a lie) and will get a substantial inheritance. I was then taken to a room by a super nice lady in her late 40ish who explained the procedure and that she has had hers done twice and that it is much better than it used to be as far as risks of boobs popping and what not. She asked me to remove my shirt as she would have to make some marks on my skin. I took off my shirt and she - laughed and made a goofy remark about my breastforms that I can not recall at the time. I told her that although they are great and realistic feeling - obviously I cant wear low cut tops or dresses that show cleavage. She said something about the lines about well damn we need to be able to let you shop at victorias secret hon (coincidentally my panties were VS, but I was like in nervous mode and just stifled a laguht). She then asked questions about how often I dress, do I go out, etc. She then measured me and asked if I want to "stand out" or look natural. I responded that I wanted something that fit my body type, dont wanna be Anna Nicole, but dont want to be flat chested. She understood - she had me take my forms out - and complimented me on getting good ones and not using kleenex or socks - again we laughed. Then we tried 3 different sizes - she had me walk around - put my cami back on, then do random stuff like jog in place, pick up something off the ground, pretend I had to grab stuff out my purse to simulate movement and see how my dexterity was with each size. Anyways she then said she will be right back with me and left the room.
I sat there feeling dumb in a bra and these simulated breasts (which were not as good as my breast forms) feeling kinds bad about waisting there time. Then the next consulatant came in and was awesome super cheery eurpoean lady who was joking and when she showed me before and after pictures to show me what they could do kept making jokes and made me feel at ease. She then had me go to the finance room. Like and idiot I just followed her - honestly forgetting I was wearing a bra and no top - there was another lady (no worries she was a older than me and I doubt I would ever see her again) about to get a consultation - she looked at me like WTF?!? The European lady quickly shuffled me in the finance room and joked that I dont have boobs yet so I cant be strutting around like that. I profusely apologized she laughed it off grabbed my tshirt and threw it to me.
I put it on and pretended to care about the financing of my new boobs and when I could do it. I then left with a quote and a hug and retreated to my car. I felt bad about wasting their time so I did return two days later with flowers and a thank you card and said I am still contemplating and did the whole hug and thank you.
Sorry this is a way too long account - just wondering what peoples thoughts are on this. I would never do this at a medical center like an ER where someones life is at risk, yet I feel like the trophy wife in the lobby can wait for 15 minutes so i can get my consulatation. Hope I did not offend anyone or ruin anyones eyes having to stare at their computer screen reading this novel, but would like feedback - should I feel bad or just chalk this up to a fun CD experinece?
