Breast Implants: Stories

I'm 5'6 137lbs size 34B cup. I've always wanted bigger breast but after having my first child (2007) made the want for them even more. My breast became a size D for pregnancy and I Absolutly LOVED them! But my hubby would never give the ok to get them. 4 years later I had my second child (2011). Well, just out the blue my hubby tells me if I really wanted Boobies I could get them. He didn't have to tell me twice, lol, the next day I booked my Consultation.

Consultation - The look I want is what my Victoria Secret Miraculous Bras give just without the bra. That's exactly what I told the doctor and we agreed on Saline 450cc. But, I'd like my hubby to come with me to my Appt. to make sure 450cc isn't Too Big. Even thou my doctor and nurse said they think it would look good cause I have wide shoulders. Will post before pics soon.

I forgot to mention I'm turned 30 in Sept so this is kinda my B-day present to myself, lol. I'm trying not to think about Boobs so much because I find if I do, I'm constantly thinking about it in my sleep which leads to broken sleep.

Pre-Op Scheduled for Nov. 5th!

I would like to hear Feedback about High Intense Cardio. I teach BodyAttack classes and my PS said in 3 weeks I should be good to go but to take it easy at first (Adjusting to Balance). Any fitness instructors out there have advice?

Today was the Big Day! I went in at 7:15am. The Anastasia Dr came in then they started to Roll me to the Surgery Room and I was Out before I made it to the Room. Doctor ended up going with 450cc in Both. Hubby brought me home and I slept til 3:30pm. The Pain meds make me soooo tired but Im trying to stay awake at least for a little while. Pain feels just like having Engorged Boobs and Some Pressure on my chest. So Far They look Great!

Day 2: Today I will try not to take my pain meds. I was supposed to take one at 6:00am but its now 8:00am and I feel good. I'm starting to feel little bubbles. Guess that's the implant moving around. I was able to take a shower last night and wash my own hair, that was exciting! My arm movement is really good. I'll continue to sleep in the recliner because I truly believe its helping the healing process.

Small Rewind-Day 1 After surgery was just taking Meds every hrs and Nothing But Sleep! Day 2 came around and I was tired of being Tired, so thats when I decided to try not to take any Meds.

After I did my Day2 update, I lasted another 30 mins and had to take my pain Meds....then at 2:00pm I took only Half a pain med. My stomach has Bloated ALOT. I almost look Prego, off to the sides also and very tender to the touch. So, I decided to look through this site for answers and found some info. The Sever Bloating is coming from the fluids I was giving during surgery and gravity is taking its toll. I have been having to Pee more than normal so I guess it'll take some time for the fluids to make its way out.

Day 3: Happy ThanksGiving and I give Much Thanks to my PS for giving me such Amazing Breast. I Absolutly LOVE them. Every morning I notice small changes and less discomfort. Today I was able to drive but have noticed from driving that my left boob is a little tighter. I feel most comforable not wearing anything. The sports bra becomes uncomfortable after a few hours. Only Half a Pain Pill today mid day.

Day 4: Because I have been feeling Great the past 2 days, I decided today I'd go clothes shopping. BIG MISTAKE. I think the movement of trying on clothes was not a good idea. My back is aching and the tighness is setting in. Also, Its sooooo hard not to pick up on my One year old cause shes sooo cute ;)....So as of now, my hubby and mom are still helping me with her.

Day 8: Had my first follow up appt today. PS says everything looks and healing good. I start my messages today and that should help the left boob settle. But time will tell all and I guess thats something we all have to go through. Patiently await for the final result ;) I'm also clear to lift my soon to be One year old, Yay! I can fully extend my arms a of yesterday. Everyday I feel Progress but I must say...That first week is a Big Hurtle the rest is probley just Patience. My PS also told me not to do anything that will raise my heart rate til week 3. So the gym will have to wait til then ;( I'm still sleeping in an inclined postion but I'm able to sleep on my right side. My left side is a differ story. I still have some swelling on the left. I've been completly off my Meds since day 5 but if I have discomfort before bed then I'll just take Motrin to help me sleep better. Still LOVING My New Boobies. Feels Amazing to have on just a Sports Bra and have the Girls sitting up Proudly from my shirt ;)

Day 11: I can finally sleep on my Left side now, yay! Also I noticed today that when driving I no-longer feel discomfort. Everyday small, little changes are happening :) As I mentioned before, I was a 34B...I tried on a Victorias Secret Bra today and the 34D fits like a Glove, AWESOME....I definalty did NOT want to be a DD and Not a small C....My size is turning out just how I wanted :) Something I didnt think about before but I sure am glad I decided to do this around this time of year. The girls should be Dropped just in time of Summer and Bikini Season :)

Today was my first day back at the Gym. I decided to slowly get back into it so I only did a 30 min Body Attack Class. No jumping just yet, low options only. I'm also thrilled to say that I am finally sleeping on my back and sides without being propped up. If I position my pillows right I can sleep on my stomach.

The 6 week Mark feels Amazing! Discomfort completely gone, I can Sleep on sides and stomach, I'm back to teaching Aerobic Classes, and the Hubby Loves them! I must add: I see so many people on here undecided/choosing to go smaller cause they are scared the girls will get in their way during workouts. My boobies are Ds and they Do Not get in my way at all. My advice would be to Go For It. I know everyone is different but I'm glad I did and I'm happy to Not be one of the ones saying "I wish I went Bigger". I couldn't be happier!!

6 Week Check-Up today and I was basicly told I'm good to go back to my regular/normal activities. So I decided to lift weights today (starting off lifting about half of what I used to) and everything felt great. I did a few push ups but didnt really work out chest. I'm not sure if I will ever work out chest. I just dont see the point. Lefty is still higher but I'm thinking this may have alot to do with the fact that I have issues with a muscle in my shoulder blade area thats always tense. It causes my posture to be off :/ (you can tell in my pics) .... I'll start doing massage therapy and a little chiropractic therapy to help my shoulder and maybe that might help. HaPpY HeAliNg to All!

Oh, and my PS says I No-longer have to Massage, Yay ;)

Just when I was about to start freaking out cause Lefty wasnt dropping, the past week I've noticed small changes. I've come to realize Lefty is just gonna take her good ole time but we'll eventually get there.
Bra shopping has become a challenge! I have had No luck at Victorias Secret. Went there 3 times and left empty handed 3 times. Their Bras run small so I would need a 34 Triple D. I've gotten 2 bras from Dillards and 1 from JCP in 34D.
Aerobic workouts are completly back to normal. I'm doing Weight lifting/chest workouts but my weights have been cut in half of what I used to do. Honestly, I probley could do my original weights but I'm just to nervous to do it ;)
Besides picture updates, I feel like my journey is coming to an end. My new girls are a part of me now and All is Good!

All is Doing Great!! I have a little getaway to the beach next week and I cant wait! Feels Amazing being comfortable in any type of tops I put on. My favorite bra to wear is Walmarts version of the Genie Bra. My next fav is sports bras. These are my favs cause they are more comfortable on the shoulders. If it wasnt for my Nips showing through I'd prefer to wear nothing. And still, Lefty is being stubborn but shes Slowwwwly catching up. Sometimes Lefty will be a little tender to the touch and thats when I know I need to ease up on the weight lifting for chest. For High Impact Aerobics I really try to strap'em down. I'm still a 34D but depending on the bra sometimes I'll fit into a DD.

I remember being Freaked Out about ending up with DDs. I wasted lots of worries about that cause the end result truly isnt the "cup size" , its about the size that fits "Your" body type.
