Have BA / BL coming up. Will be May 16th, tho they are trying to get me in May 1 or may 2 if possible. Boy do I want in sooner. I am now a B / C cup, 5' 7" , 140 lbs, early fifties. Will be C / D after surgery. Doing silicone gel, moderate profile, under muscle. Doc says in her entire career she has only put in saline implants once. They harden and rupture, then more surgery is needed I am a gym rat. I pump iron often, doc thinks going under muscle won't be a big problem unless my pecs were to get much bigger than they are now. I did not breast feed my kids , tho many researchers think breast feeding is not what causes sagging. I have sagged since my twenties, but it has gotten so bad lately that I have to wear a bra until the moment I go to bed. The sagging is very uncomfortable for me. It just feels like something is drastically wrong, like i have these weird limbs dangling off my body that are unwanted, unneeded, in my way. I can't even jog with a very supportive jogging bra because the girls bounce so badly I will try to get before pix in here , once I am sure I have privacy here I sit on my arse all day at work, so I won't take even a full week off. I work at home one day a week, and when I go in, the commute is extremely short... And i luv my work. So I am hoping going back won't be brutal. I will have tons of food prepped in advance etc This forum rocks, I will use it to make a to do list

My date got moved up from May 16 to May 2! Arrive at 7:30 am, surgery at 9:00

I am excited and nervous. My heart started beating faster when I received the email saying May 2 was possible. As they say, be careful what you wish for, for you will surely get it.

A friend who had this done years ago and said do NOT disappear from work for a few days and come back with obviously bigger girls. She said start wearing padding in the bra ahead of time... so when you go missing from work for a few days and return, the girls won't appear bigger, and it won't be obvious what you've been up to... So I've been following that advice.

BL and BA together. Doc says I'll be C/D afterwards. I have been that size before when I was a lil heavier but I'm B/C now.

I was kidding hubby, asking him if he wants to place a custom order. He was smart enough to say I look fine as I am now. I could NOT get any order out of him (hee hee)

PS wants approval from my primary doc, along with EKG, so I am scheduling all that tomorrow. Yes, you'll get pix.

How exciting for you. You're less than 3 wks out! We are close in age & pre-op size. I'm thrilled with my results so far, but the hardest part is having patience for the final outcome. Good luck & feel free to ask anything you can think of - I'm 3 wks po today. Lol feel like an old pro already.

I've been watching your pix, those girls look great and I'm impressed at how fast you are healing. I hope mine look that great and that I heal that fast!

Mine or life's? Lol I also got,some blue-emu ointment for my nipples and it seems to help. Several people have mentioned that they used it. I got it at CVS you might want to get it before hand so you don't have to run to the store in pain!!! It has emu oil, aloe, MSM and glucosamine. I had never heard of it but I plan on using it on my sore muscles too!

The new ones look fabulous, I hope mine look that good. Adding blue-emu to my list

Just got clearance from my physician for the surgery. Good to go.

The new girls will be slightly bigger than the current floppy girls. I've been wearing padding in the bra, specifically so I won't be obviously bigger immediately after having been gone for a few days (hee hee).

WHAT DO I TELL THE BOSS? He knows I have three days off... and I might ask to work from home part of the next week for half days. WHAT DO I TELL HIM? I suppose I could say I'm having a small medical procedure done, and leave it at that.

I'll have the entire house spic and span, stocked with groceries. Hubby and I do that every weekend anyway. And I have my ipad to keep me entertained.

The current girls reside 2 inches BELOW the fold. It's worth a month of inconvenience to change that.

Gonna be tough not pumping iron for a while, and I'm also going to miss shooting pool. I wonder when I can get back to that. Have a table at home, its lots of fun.

How exciting for you not much longer!! A kind word of advice from someone your age. I am 52 5'3" 129lb and had BL and BA 286cc. The only thing I was really able to do for about 4 days was lay in bed most of the day. I did drive to PS office 5 days PO and did one errand a day. I was in pain, uncomfortable, and at day 9 my nipples were so sensitive I went back to bed for most of the day because it hurt to move and I was so uncomfortable and my nipples were on high beam constantly. I did get a small infection so that could be part of slow healing but I was just exhausted. And this is from someone who does 2 hours cardio a day plus weights. Now I am 4 weeks PO and feel almost back to my old self! I guess what I am saying is don't push yourself you don't want complications and don't be surprised if you don't feel like going back to work after a few days.

You and I sound very similar - same age and similar work out habits. Sounds like you had a challenge at first , I am glad you are feeling better now.

I am having SX on a Wednesday, and at this point the plan is to go back to work Monday. I have a sit down job, and I enjoy the job a lot. However I appreciate your warning. I'll have a plan B ready with the boss. Might work half days that next week from home.

I was very surprised at how long it took to heal. I was going to have it done 3 weeks before my friends wedding thinking I would be fine and the PS office said oh no that is a really bad idea! Now I know why. Lol I was so exhausted on top of everything else. I did go back to gym and did an hour of cardio slowly after 2-2 1/2 weeks. Started to hard had to take a few days off then went to the stationary bike for a week before got back on the stepmill..
April 14, 2012
Interesting. I might go to gym after 3 weeks, maybe... sit on the stationary bike at lowest level, go very slow with ipad. Barely move, but go, just to accompany hubby. He really really likes me to go with him.
