So my back is absolutely killing me! I had a really bad fall from my horse about four years ago and have had problems ever since so sleeping every night on it is not a happy place for me. I'm also having a bit of a sharp pain under my left breast.. Has anyone else had anything like that? I will contact Dr. S if it doesn't subside in a day or so. That was the slightly bigger natural breast with the smaller implant. I took a sleeping pill (which I haven't taken yet cause they scare me for some reason) so I'm hoping I will be out like a light by the time I submit this! And I know I still need to get more pics up!!! I'm on it...

I feel like mine is going slowly to! I like to do things and it's hard to just take it easy for such a long time haha The morning boob is a killer on me. And I thought I had a good pain tolerance but I guess not haha

I have those sharp pains. My PS said are the nerves that were affected. I read the same in other answers by different doctors here. Stii have them 2 weeks after surgery day. I take vitamine 12 and 6 that I read helps. Good recovery!

Forgot to ask you if you liked your size?? Also, my chiropractor has been a godsend for back issues and I have one of those things where you lay on it and it kind of hangs you upside down which helps with decompressing your spine ;)

Well I guess it's been a week! Feeling good over all. My left boob looks perfect, the right still is a little high but I am only at a week. I hope the left doesn't drop to much more.. I would say they are still pretty firm but are getting softer everyday. I will get my hubby to take some more pics! I really think they will look very natural on my frame, I will get a full body pic cause I had a hard time finding people that were a similar size as me before for comparison.

Still feeling sore. Started my "massages" today and that really kind of hurt. I have to do them five times a day so not really looking forward to that. All being said they look great! :)

To funny. I do hunter/jumper to (but you know how most people don't know what that is so easier to say show jumping) I'm actually a trainer so I'm hoping my clients don't notice. I can't wait to start up again, although my horses are happy with the extra time off.

OMG too funny! My daughter and I both ride! I'm sure with the right amount of compression, sports bras (which you will need to wear anyway), clothes, etc. you will be fine. If you show up wearing a skin tight tank top on the other hand .... ;o) When did your doc clear you to start riding again? I'm dying to ride!!!! I am at 3 weeks post op today.

Ahhh good girl! I like it! We are all hairneters to, even the jumpers ;) How are you boobs doing? Settling in? I feel like my right still has more dropping but I don't want my left to change to much more. I guess it's still very early for me.. Just 13 days out :)

Aw .. They are doing really good! I didn't sleep well for 2 weeks just an FYI even though the day after my surgery I was able to massage them with no pain. It just wasn't comfortable to sleep unless I was propped up. I am a side sleeper so you can imagine how much I have struggled with sleeping. I love my Valium and Vicodin lol! :))) Cannot believe I am 4 weeks post op this Wed. I have a business selling high end saddles and finally was able to pick up a saddle all by myself the other day lol. Making meatloaf less than 2 weeks post op .. Not so much of a good idea ha ha
