I am 42 years old, size 34A, really 34AA, athletic build - 5'4", 113 lbs. My surgery is scheduled for September 21st, and its getting hard to concentrate on anything else! I've chosen 234cc gel, under the muscle. I've been considering this for over two years, but still feeling nervous, mostly about the recovery.
I'm scheduled to travel with my family on post-op day 6 or 7 - a 7hr car trip....any advice on how I'll be feeling by then? I can always opt out and stay home, but trying to plan ahead.
Thanks, reading everyone's reviews here has been so helpful!

Tomorrow's the big day, can't wait! I'm scheduled for 7am, so other than the logistics of getting my kids off to school, I'm happy with the early time. I'm going very modest, with 234cc and will have a pain pump, so I'm not too worried about the pain. I plan to take my last "before" pictures tonight, and I'll post some later.

Surgery was this morning and I'm so relieved to have it behind me! I was nauseous when getting out of the car when I returned home, and again after climbing the stairs to my bedroom, but I just kept still for a while, breathed deeply, and it passed, thankfully! I took my meds and went to sleep for 2 hours. Woke up feeling much better, less drunk and less pain, although my earlier pain was tolerable.
I've eaten a light lunch, watched tv, and sat on back deck for a while with hubby. It's a beautiful day here and I feel good!
I am able to slowly raise my arms over my head and lightly shrug my shoulders, and use bathroom independently. What more could I want?
By the way, I do have the pain pump, am taking a muscle relaxant and oxycodone. I am wearing a surgical bra as well as a strap. I go in tomorrow morning for my first checkup, and was told I could the. Take a shower. Yeah!
Thanks for your well wishes!

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! Wearing something that zips or buttons up the front would probably be helpful, but you may not need it by then. Check out Makenzie's review. She will give you a good idea of what to expect a week or two post op.
