5 days PO today and I am feeling much better. I took my last Celebrex last night and am off the Vicodin. My boobs (I have BOOBS!) have finally decided to move out of my arm pits. Not completely but at least I can have my arms at my sides now. They are still sitting high but I think when they drop they will look fabulous. They are still pretty tight and I don't know if its my imagination or not but I think I can feel them moving around. Up and out mostly. I am still icing them regularly and taking it easy. My boyfriend, bless his heart, is still taking care of me and making sure I don't over stress myself. We are going over to my moms today for a BBQ. 92 degrees here today...bikini time I love it!

Hey zep~ filling out a bikini is FUN, huh?? Lol your implants are high but that's completely normal, it will take awhile for them to settle. Mine were high for 2 months, so be patient! I'm sure when they drop you will look fabulous:-)

I'm not sure if you are still active on this Web site ,but I'm curious how your final results are. My post op pictures look similar to yours and it's hard to be patient! I'm looking for some reassurance. Any chance you can post some current pictures?

Day 3 post op
My BA was a success. I went with 425cc high profile saline Mentor implants. My nurse said I was a very good patient and she wished all her patients were as easy as me. :) So I guess I didn't throw up on anyone which is good. The last thing I remember before surgery was the anesthesiologist telling me he was putting in the medication. I woke up a few minutes before they wheeled me out to go home. I was given a script for Celexa and told to take extra strength Tylenol. The Tylenol wasn't doing anything so I called the office and asked for a script for Vicodin. My new girls are still sitting high and in my armpits. Currently they feel like they are on fire and I am getting stabbing pains. I ice them constantly. Ice is my new best friend. I have been taking it VERY easy. It hurts to wipe after I pee so i figure it would be best not to do anything crazy. My boyfriend has been taking such good care of me. He has been setting his alarm at night and getting up every 4 hours to give me my meds and ice and help me to the bathroom. He didn't leave my side for 48 hours. He went back to work today and he felt bad. He is the best. I am not going to work until the 12th and its only a 4 hour shift. I am an HHA but there is no lifting with this client.

Helpful hints I haven't yet read on this site are....
1) use a shower chair.. I sat on it and my boyfriend washed my hair and my back and I was able to wash everything else while sitting comfortably
2) use a wedge.. I propped up in bed with that instead of having to sleep in the recliner and i used extra pillows to prop up my legs and a pillow under each arm and a neck pillow. Very comfy!

My mom had those from a previous surgery so I borrowed them from her. Thanks mom!

I will post pics soon
