              JM's Story 
               It all started about 7 years ago while I was living 
              in Indianapolis, 
              Indiana. My husband is a Professional Hockey Player and we were 
              living and playing out a 3 year contract there. It was all so new 
              to me 
              having been raised in a small town, and not knowing how many 
              options and opportunities there was out there it got very interesting 
               
              and curiosity started to get peaked. 
              I had no trouble making friends throughout the team, 
              but I wanted to 
              meet some locals that could maybe show me the ropes as far as all 
              the cool spots to hang out. Through some fans of my husbands I 
              ended up meeting two women who would forever change my life. 
              These two women had it all...brains, good looks and two of the most 
              perfect sets of breast I had ever seen, to my amazement I couldn't 
               
              even believe that breasts like this were possible until they gave 
              me the 
              low down. Both of these women had gotten BA's, and they couldn't 
              tell 
              me enough information about it, I thought the whole idea of it was 
              so 
              incredible. That's when I first started pestering my husband about 
              the 
              idea (and let me tell you, it was not an idea he even considered 
              for  
              me at the time). 
              Despite my efforts, I was getting nowhere so I dropped 
              the whole 
              Boobie thing for a while, but two years later the thought came back 
              into my head and this time it wasn't going anywhere. So I either 
              had  
              to get the boob job, or be jealous for the rest of my life for all 
              the other 
              women that had. But I still had a long road ahead of me, but after 
               
              about 4 years my husband opened himself up to the idea, and 
              proceeded to tell me he would consider it if we had a certain amount 
               
              of money, and to my great delight that time came last Summer when 
               
              he signed his Hockey contract. At that point the flood gates were 
              open 
              and Breast Augmentation was all I had on my mind. I researched it 
              for 
              the following 9 months, first in the U.S.A (with no luck) than I 
              got 
              referred to www.canadaba.ca and my life became alot easier. I had 
              a 
              couple of Doctor's in mind, but I don't think Dr. Lista ever left 
              my mind 
              as being my number one choice as a Plastic Surgeon. 
              I was very excited the 2 weeks before my first consult 
              because it  
              meant I was that much closer to getting it done. In the consultation 
              I 
              was very happy when Dr. Lista seemingly answered all the questions 
               
              I had before I even had a chance to ask them, that mixed with his 
              honesty told me he was the one (for sure). The second consult was 
              over the phone, (due to the fact I live out of the T.O area) and 
              at this  
              time I gave him my decisions on the options he had given me, and 
              it  
              all happened very fast from that point on. 
               At this point there was 3 weeks until my surgery, 
              and I had to get  
              myself in gear as far as getting a physical, blood work, prescriptions 
              etc. It sounded like more than what it really was and it turned 
              out to  
              be a breeze. 
              As for the day of surgery I wasn't nervous or scared 
              at all, and I  
              trusted Dr. Lista and his staff completely so I knew I was in good 
              hands. The anesthesiologist told me the IV would hurt a little more 
               
              than a bee sting, but I didn't even feel it at all, so on the operating 
               
              table I was teasing him about that. The next thing I remember is 
               
              waking up with the new girls in my chest. At this point I felt no 
              pain 
              because I was still so drowsy, but by the time I got in my truck 
              I knew it 
              was time for to take a pain killer or two. Also, I had a huge amount 
              of 
              bruising (which isn't unusual for us transax gals) so that was  
              causing the bulk of it. My husband took care of me completely for 
              1 
              whole week and made me feel like a princess with a new tiara. 
              Since the surgery I have been back to visit the Dr. 
              a few times and it  
              just makes me more and more happy each time I go in, because I  
              can see him taking pride in his work also. 
              I would definately recommend not only a BA to someone 
              who asked 
              me about it, but I would also highly recommend my surgeon also.
