all done. .. and on the road to recovery

I had mine 8 days ago full lift with 200cc and ill say you'll be sore and yur breast will feel like bowling balls on ur chest but take it easy ull be fine .

I had lift with 450cc implant that gave me a full D. I had extra skin from my lift. Right after surgery when I got home. I felt my chest area really tight. My wrinkles on my upper chest where pulled down which was a bonus! LOL. My boobs did feel like large softballs under my skin. I can really start to see them take shape. Once my incisions are totally healed and I get the OK from my PS, I will start to really massage them and help them settle in and take place where they are supposed to go. I promise the pain is totally doable and you will be fine. The worst part is the incisions under your breast. You will feel a stinging/ burning just like if you cute your finger. Once you take your pain medicine you will be totally fine. Did you get your pain medicine already? and your antibiotics?

You will be OK! If this is something you've been wanting for a long time I think you'll be very happy when you're done and healed. I got implants back in 2001. I won't kid you, it was painful. Not childbirth painful, but VERY sore chest pain. But just for the first 2-3 days. I was back at work on the 4th day. Still sore but doable. And every day after it was better. Try to remember they probably won't look good at first, and it may take a month or two for them to look good. (I'm having to remind myself of that with my latest surgery!) And yes, you'll be able to snuggle your kids. Even right after surgery I could tolerate (and very much loved!) gentle hugs. Best of luck to you tomorrow!

Ok. . About to head in. . My heart rate is like 90 cuz of my nerves. .. (and i hate not getting to wear deoderant..lol)... hoping things go well and i can post later or tomorrow. Please pray for me if you get a chance. .I really appreciate it!

Well...the pain meds are finally staying on top of the pain and now it's tolerable. For anyone worried about the anesthesia....don't....really. It was absolutely no big deal at all. Those people want you to feel good and I tell you I'm a pretty anxious person, but after they put the calming med (verset) I was totally calm and was even commenting on how the staff was so fit..lol! Next thing I knew I was waking up....no biggie! My breasts feel like a really bad engorgement...but since about 2:45ish my pain has been much more tolerable...it was worse from about 11am until then...just a few hours, but I'm also taking a low level pain med...Tramadol..instead of something stronger cuz I don't want to be so tired. I'm not taking muscle relaxers either...sooo..just that one pain med. I can't see anything yet with my boobs...they are totally wrapped in ace bandages..and have to be for 48-72 hours....thank you all for praying. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to have this done, and grateful all my fears were null and void.

Rest and know you want be able to pick up the baby for a while. I have 300cc saline unders I'm 10 days post op everyday you feel better.

Well. .I seem to have a problem with a few different meds. I was taking tramadol all day yesterday, but last night right before my 2am dose i woke up with my heart racing. .. mind you, I was in bed, and it got to 120! My temperature also went up as a result and i was up the entire night with it. . Uugghh. . I'm so tired! But everytime I'm almost asleep it starts happening again. ..I haven't taken anymore pain meds except a couple of Tylenol since last night. Pain really isn't all that bad, just wish i could get some rest. I still can't take my bandages off until Monday. .. so i have no idea what's hiding under there. It looks pretty flat. . And that's with about 2" of padding and ace wrap. .. guess we'll see. I totally trust my ps. He is amazing and is very well known too for reconstructive surgery after breast cancer.

I had a lift & small implants Wednesday 4-10.. Even in my discomfort now I do not regret it! And hopefully will never ! Like you it was just important for me to feel good about me! I love my kids & proudly made the sacrifices my body $ I did for them ! But nothing says a Momny can't feel good about herself! I felt really good day of surgery & 1st post op day, I think I may have over done it a lil then. Day 3 & 4 have been a lil rough.. But still very glad of the decision I made

I'm anxious to hear how you are doing! I'm scheduled for similar proc on Wednesday and am on the verge of chickening out!!! Kids are 2 & 4 and I'm worried ab not bouncing back quickly

Keep us posted. the first 72 hours are rough. Don't overdo when you feel a little better. Take a laxative before you think you absolutely need it. And listen to your doctor. :-)

I meant to say "I've read" ....not "Ireland"....dumb iPad correcting thing....lol!
