There were already a few people in the office when we arrived for her appointment, and the ladies at the desk were very warm and helpful. We got a late start as we didn't plan ahead for the paperwork, so by the time we got in a room we were about 45 minutes late for the appointment. Sheila was right in to chat and she asked about finding a picture for size/shape and trying out sizers, we pointed out that Harmony brought her falsies and also brought her inspiration pictures. She kinda geeked out about the falsies, she started giggling and told me I should apply at Mentor to make the real thing. :p
Anyway, it took a while to talk to the doctor, when Harmony went out to check, there were a TON of people in the office.
So we were ok with waiting, we got to listen a little to the other ladies and his advice to others while we waited.
I was a little worried, as Dr. Foster IS older than I'd expect, but after meeting him I left with a very good feeling about the whole thing, as did Harmony. He seemed to be very confident in his ability and very matter of fact and thorough in our case. He was rushed, but he put us both at ease quite well.
He did some measurements from her neck to her nipple and such, momentarily checked for lumps or other abnormalities, and that was that. She asked if he could 'fill up' her existing shape, without doing too much otherwise. He said absolutely, she has 'good material to work with', and she shouldn't need a lift. She mentioned from our research that she would feel more comfortable with overs, despite common opinion that unders offer a more natural look. He said he would have recommended overs anyway, in her case. He looked at her falsies and eyeballed the total volume at about a liter, and said that was about the limit of what is easily available, that he can overfill around 1100 or a little more, if that's what she wants, beyond that it gets complicated. He said the largest he's done is about 3600ccs each, and I mentioned that much of our research was done on a forum where several such ladies are around.
We had a few moments in the waiting room with another lady, she sounded happy with her results, but she's still getting used to the added volume and she can't **82** on her chest anymore. Sheila mentioned that she will be going in soon for her 4th and last BA, to go to 800ccs (she was actually really neat to talk to, when we were leaving she kinda put her hands on both sides of her boobs, I'm not sure if that was a mannerism or just that she caught me looking XD)
Harmony told her Dad when she talked to him about it afterward, that before the appointment she was waffling but now she knows it is what she really wants.
Overall, it was a good visit, despite the longer wait than we would have preferred. Now, we just have to come up with $4k
It is frustrating to know that we had that money in the bank at least three different times during the last few months, but now we're not expecting another check like that until perhaps tax returns next year.
I'll post any pictures as we go on.
Harmony has asked me to keep a photo journal of her progress once she gets them, even if the pictures do (as MDF once suggested) look like someone knifed and beat her up.
