Yes this site helped me alot. To know what to expect. I am now 6 days post op and am doing good. Definitely not as bad as I thought it would be. When is your surgery scheduled?

Jacksonville4346 17 Apr 2011

I have a question.... I had high profile saline implants put in on the 12th. How long does it take for them to"drop" some? They are so high it seems. And like under my arm.....thank you for your input.

Dorcas4529 12 Apr 2011

Today is April 12th, did you have the surgery? I hope it went as well as possible. Keep us posted! Good luck!

Jacksonville4346 13 Apr 2011

Ms G 13 Apr 2011

Jacksonville4346 8 Apr 2011

Thank you! Only a few days from away!

Kristal Deer Park 1 Apr 2011

Wow .. your almost there!! Good luck!! Im also 117 but Im small 4"11... What size breast are you going with?

Jacksonville4346 1 Apr 2011

I think about 400 cc saline I told my PS I wanted to be a full C. My sister keeps telling me to go with no less than 500 cc or I will regret it but idk that just seems so big for me. So I am really confused.... I just don't want to look huge or not be able to fit into certain clothes. What about you, what size are you going with?

Would you mind posting the name of your surgeon? It'd be really helpful for other women in your area.

Jacksonville4346 1 Apr 2011

I sure will!

lotsobabies 30 Mar 2011

Good luck...not long now until the NEW you!

Jacksonville4346 31 Mar 2011

Thank you! I can't hardly wait! I am still nervous but just ready to do it :)

Jacksonville4346 26 Mar 2011

Thank You! I am a wimp when it comes to pain lol My mother in law just had a tt Tuesday March 22. She said it wasn't as bad as she expected. So that has helped me. I'm not really worried about the BA just the TT. I have my preop this coming up Tuesday so I know there is no turning back after that! I know I gotta just think about how long I've wanted to do this. How much it will change my life. I hate my stomach! I'm ready :) its funny because everyday I have so many different feelings about doing it. Sometimes I think I can't really do this I am to scared then other times I'm not that scared. I guess thats normal to be like that. Anyway thank you again for sharing your experience with me :)

Ms G 26 Mar 2011

It is normal to feel that way... I know i felt the same way a week b4 my surgery!

Ms G 26 Mar 2011

I was the same way b4 my surgery...WORRIED about THE PAIN! I have a high tolerance for pain. I had ALL 4 children natural. It wasn't that bad for me. My breast felt like they were engorged with milk the TT felt like i did a hard workout. first 48 hrs i needed the Most help. could not even wipe myself. Day 3 i stopped taking oxycodone and started taking ibuprofen.
my 2yr old is NYC I cant be alone with her still. She is a handfull. My mother helped me for 6 days she went back home and took my daughter with her. Hubby works from 11a-8:30p. I'm able to drive myself to appts. Shower myself. I'm still taking It ez. I just started walking straight 2 days ago.
Just focus on the END RESULTS and you will b alright.

theNewMe03 25 Mar 2011

I'm 3 days post op and yes, you will be in pain. The first 24 hours is the hardest. I had to take 2 vicodines every 4 hours but even then, getting up and standing up is tough. I could barely get up and wipe my own pee :( (sorry for TMI). 2nd day was more bearable, but I kept myself drugged up and sleeping. Today, I'm not in pain anymore, but very sore.

Jacksonville4346 26 Mar 2011

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. From what I've ready on here if you can get through the first few days it gets better. I'm ready to get it over with.....I think lol
