Yikes has it bee a while or what...I sincerely apologize and just want to thank everyone (especially my boob day mates) for their kind words and support,and even though I was not blogging I did read some of your comments now I just have to go through them. I have been through so much, the good news is the double bubble is gone (it actually fixed itself). I am happy with my boobies and my current size is 36 DD. I love them, I love them, I love them. Hmm I though I would have more to say on the matter and I am sure its in my head somewhere but it might have to wait until my next post. Oh I will be adding updated photos in the next hour or so! I missed you all ♥

Sorry for taking so long on the picture updates, but I am a little upset because my double bubble is not going away, it seems to have gotten a little worst on the left side, which you can now see on the pictures. It is still early so I am hoping for a something to change, if not I will have to save up for revision surgery. It sucks! But I this is what I get for being greedy, lesson learned.

Statuesque,
Hey girl! How'd your appointment go? Are you posting pics soon? I imagine your boobs look MUCh different than the last set of pics! I am dying to see!! LOL!

Hey statuesque~So sorry to hear about your double bubble! That's TERRIBLE!!!I can not imagine going through the excitement of a BA, then having to deal with complications and a possible revision. Did your PS warn you about going too big?? Any doctor that let's an uninformed patient go too big is shady and not professional in my opinion. My PS explained in detail all the dangers of going too big and excessive tissue stretching. I hope you do not need a revision....Take Care!

Statuesque,
That is horrible!! I was really hoping that it was going away on its own!!
Luckily it is a problem that is fixable though! I would rather have DB htan CC!!
I was also trying to read up on DB and its solutions. I found this website and it sounded reasonable. Although you have probably already read everything under the sun already..

Has the doc said how much it will cost?
What do you think caused it?

GYM UPDATE: I worked out 2 nights ago, only the lower body and did like 10 min of cardio. I really pushed myself with weights but my breast don't seem to be paying for it lol my legs are though! I don't know if I wrote it on here are not but since I had surgery I gained like 10lbs and since I could not workout out for a while I sat at home and at and slept, which was so fun, but now it is time to get back to my regular routine of things. While my breast is dropping and fluffing the rest of my body is going to get smaller and tighter, well at least that is my goal! I will update my pic at my one month post-op appointment

Girl! You are so brave! I cannot even imagine doing cardio with my skin hurting and my boobies disliking the jiggle. I have been thinking about working out my lower body, but i dont think i am supposed to until 4 weeks so I may have to wait...
What did you wear while you worked out? (for your boobies)
Do you feel better for going?

Lol, well I do not want you to do anything you plastic surgeon doesn't recommend. My ps recommended that I do lower body workouts and light cardio. I work a large sports bra, it compressed them a little but I was okay with that and since I was so focused on my workout it took my mind off the pain!

Well I will; try working out next week. Maybe it'll help me feel better and get me off my butt. =)

I am really happy for you and glad that these blogs can help you. I know that having surgery buddies (scrappy and pink,we all got surgery on the same day) to compare recovery with has really helped me

Glad your double bubble is getting better and that's awesome about the workouts, I'm so jealous b/c I miss the gym. How is the dropping/fluffing? Are you still loving the size? Mine seem smaller which is funny because I was so freaked they were too big.
How's your pain? Mine is pretty constant unfortunately, it's not awful but I can feel it when I overdo it. I saw you and scrappy talking about getting any extra attention when out, idk if anyone has noticed the girls but I've gotten hit on tons lately, usually when in shirts/dresses with a higher neckline.

Oh I love it! Are you are feeling better about the size now pink? I was actually thinking i could've gone a little bigger. Funny since I was freaking out about size too. =)

June 3, 2012
I love the size and probably could have gone bigger but would rather be wishing for bigger which Ican fake w/padded bras then mad I went too big which is kinda how I felt week. I am hoping they will project out a little more now that they're dropping. When is your 1 month post op? Mine is at 5 weeks due to my work schedule so I'm bummed about that. I forget if I've asked this, have you tried swimsuit shopping yet? And how is your pain? I saw you're still taking meds sometimes, I am too depending on the day so guessing its normal?

June 3, 2012
But yes, i think its still normal to need some pain meds now and again.
I think all of us has skin that has been hurting.
I was thinking about taking some pain pills, but havent done it yet. I've been drinking alcohol which is prob not good. I'm not getting smashed, but have drank a couple.
hmmm, maybe i should've asked if you were asking me or statuesque? lol

I agree, i'd rather be too small than too big.
My 1 month is on the 22nd. so 3 more weeks. (which will be 6 wks)
No, no swimming suit shopping. My old ones still fit and I'm not allowed to wear a bra still or let sun hit my incision site. thats not much fun huh? =) LOL
Have you gone?

I havent went out to show them off. I totally understand what you mean about over doing it. My left is dropping faster than my right, how are your breast doing? I saw your new pic they look great and seem to be healing well.

Lol, I guess I am way different from both of you, as we all know I rather go bigger than smaller, I guess I just feel like if I am spend all of that money I better see a difference but to each there own, as long as you guys are happy with your size I am ecstatic for you two ♥ I love my size and am hoping they maybe get a little bigger even though I am starting to feel there size! No swim suit shopping for me either and my old bras look really funny on me. I am trying to guess my bra size but I think it might be a waste of time since they are going to change in a couple of months. Oh I also agree with Scrappy taking meds now is normal but not with alcohol lol!

Thank you so much I am also glad that my double bubble is going away as well. D&F is happening very slowly for me but the size on the left is great but the right is still tight. I don't really have so much pain only when I am sleep in the middle of the night. I have not gone out, so I am still waiting to take my babies for a ride. I can't wait to dress the up, I am too busy dressing them down for work, it will be nice for a chance!

Can't wait to see new pics lady! I am soo jealous that you are able to workout and not be in too much pain. I've been doing cardio which is killing me and I can't go really heavy like I want with lower body weights. Oh, well! I'm with you statuesque I'd rather be too big which I'd never thought I'd say, than be too small! I feel I can hide them if I don't want to be too obvious or let those babies loose if I want to have some fun! Lol!

LOL! Your funny Fit!
You said cardio is killing you and lower body? Why? Whats going on?
I am not allowed to workout yet, so I have no idea what itll feel like.
Are you easily exhausted?

June 7, 2012
Lol, I am glad you agree. I have not tried to lift heavy yet or really, really pushed myself and I do not work out that often so maybe that is why it did not really hurt me. However I am going to push it a little more today and see how I feel after that!

Ah-ha!! The damn jiggle! I hate the jiggle!
I cant even stand the darn seat belt right now either! I drive down the road with my arm bent over my mid section hanging onto a boob. I cant stop rubbing them at this point either. They are just in a constant state of ache unless i sit there without a shirt on. So the material must be rubbing.
Have you tried that? Just doing whatever you need to do without a shirt on? I think you have kids though...might be tough. lol
Yes, I know I must sound weird!
