well so went to ahve my mamogram done this last week and everythin went fine but in the ultrasound they did they found a bengin cyst which means (not cancer) thank god but my ps told me that i should still have it checked out by a breast specialists jus to make sure nothin interfers w/ my sx? so i have made an appionment w/ the specialsit for this comin week.. i hope to god and pray that nothin comes of it.. and that he says it should be fine and not have to remove anythin maybe just biposy it ... idk.. but im so nervous i dont want my sx to be pushed back for anythin... i guess maybe caus im havin an implant put it i should make sure the cyst is nothin.. when i had my mamo the dr there said just to come back in 6 months and have it checkd agin but by then i would have my implants.. so maybe its alot harder to check w/ thos... :) well i will update agin.. plse pray for me and hope all goes well..:) thanks

Hi there! I'm in Michigan too and just had my surgery December 9. You will go in fine and you will come out fine. I know it is hard not to worry, I was worried too, but it is done and I feel great :)

It is day 10 and I am actually feeling pretty good :) I went to the gym for the first time this morning, just to walk on the treadmill but it feels good to get some normalcy back in my life!

I know how scared you are about going under, I had those same fears and I have been under before. You really don't even realize you are going under and then before you know it you are awake in recovery!

I was a 42 DD before my weight loss but before surgery but before surgery I was a 38 C. Due to the weight loss I had lost a ton of tissue in my breasts, which you can see if you look at my pictures. She ended up taking me to the top of a C cup (400CC), which seemed like they would look to big but now that I have them, they look natural on my frame. Your doctor will tell you his/her thoughts on size but make sure you are very vocal about what you want too. I looked at pictures and gave her an idea of what I am after. Right now they are very firm and very high but with time they will fall, in fact just in 10 days I have noticed a difference.

You are in some pain which makes taking your pain meds on time so important. The pain isn't really that bad and is very tolerable but you really do need to be on a regular schedule with your pain meds. Yes I was a DD and went down to a C after losing weight, now I am a full C and I love it :) Huge is an understatement LOL Right after you kind of feel like they are right under your chin but within the first few days they fall quite a bit. I have saline and she went with 400CC. At first I thought she went way to big but now that they have had time to settle I think she did use the right size.

ya that is what ive hears.. well glad to here that the pain is tolerable.. i just cant wait the anticipatation is killing me...lol well i think im gonna go with a 400 cc i hope that will be right..lol but im leaning more toward that way... i guess id rather be a little to big then to small....
thanks for ur advice.... its so helpful....so are u still havign to wear ur garments? did u also get a tummytuck? im pretty nervpous about that more than the boobs i think... i just hope the scar over time will heal....

I wear my garment on and off. Yes, I got the full TT and implants done at the same time. Honestly, having them both done together is the best way to have it done and as long as you stay on schedule with your pain meds, you will be fine. The breasts did bother me more then the tummy but because they are so swollen afterwards I swear they bump everything LOL
