I'm having BA done in a few days, but what makes me freak out is lots of people gain weight about 5 to 10lb after the surgery.
Is this true? and also does it go away quickly since it probably is a water weight?
Did you guys experience this??
I really appreciate it if you guys comment on this.
Since the site does not let me submit it because of the short message, I might as well introduce a little bit about myself.
I am 39yrs old, 5'2", 118lb, size 34 small A.
I am getting 375cc moderate saline, submuscular, inframmamary incision.
My dr told me this will make me a small C, which I regret now a little I should have gone full C... Oh, well. From small A to small C, I should be OK!
I'm not nervous about the surgery, but I am worried about having possible complications, like hematoma, capsular contracture, etc.
I guess everybody gets nervous about something, right?
I am really glad I have found this site. It has been a tremendous help!
I was going to post a before pic, but my PC is...
I can't wait for the 6th! I am counting down so many times in a day as if that will make the days go by faster. lol
I think I got pretty much everything I will need for the recovery... front zip up shirts, bending straws, frozen peas!, lots of yogurt (for regularity), priscriptions, (I'm going to buy a surgical bra at the clinic). I think this is about it. Am I forgetting something that are really useful???

We're glad you found us, too! The implants do weigh something, so you'll gain that weight. Here's what doctors have to say about weight gain after breast augmentation. I hope you'll come back and let us know how your surgery goes!
Hope you are having a great Labor Day.
Thank you again.
My PC is still down... It's been down for 2 weeks....
I am so excited about tomorrow! Finally, having a surgery after waiting for a month. It really went by fast. I still can't believe that I am having a BA done! I really hope the recovery will be smooth.
I went to shopping yesterday and grabbed a couple of more things; Saltine crackers, Biore make up remover cloths (since it will be difficult to wash my face) and Starbucks Via (I'm a heavy coffee drinker plus I just have to add water!).
I think I'm ready for tomorrow now!

Keep us posted!
I was in the same boat with you when it comes to whether or not and how to tell my mom about BA, but I did tell her, and she was kind of OK with it... She didn't agree with me a 100%...Oh, well. I'm 39 yrs old! I don't need her permission for god sake!
Good luck to you too for your recovery!
Good luck again!!
