About 4 months PO!
Doing push-ups and bench press now. Not going crazy, though. If it hurts, I stop or scale. I did my first 2 rope climbs tonight. Pull-ups and T2B are proving to be quite difficult. I'm being patient. They'll come to me soon ????

Hi Holly! Thank you so much! At VS I'm a 32DD. I'd be happy to post pics with clothes on. I'll take some over the next few days and post them up

Do you still get that weird on your chest while doing push-ups?

I hate it. I feel like I'm doing something to mess it up. I'm almost 4 mos post op and I still can't hang on a pull up bar. I miss doing pull ups!

Have you asked your PS about stretches? I stretch every day and practice hanging on a bar.

Also, there are quite a few ladies at my gym who've had a BA. A lot of them have said that pull-ups took them the longest. But they're all doing pull-ups now. I'm sure you'll get them back.

I love following your post because I am a crossfittet as well. I am 7 weeks post surgery and tried hanging on the bar and it was difficult. Hope you heal fast and are able to get to your pr's before surgery.

Thank you! I had the surgery in September of 2016. Hanging from the bar has been difficult for me, too, but I've been focusing on stretching a lot to get past that.

Went to VS over the holiday. I was sized as 32DD/34D. Super happy! I also ate like a pig, so I made sure to do at least one WOD while out of town. For those of you crossfitters, I did Filthy 50 for the first time since my surgery. I did everything as prescribed except for knees to elbow. The jumping pull-ups are kind of a perfect transitional movement on my way back to doing pull-ups.

So happy for you. I really appreciate you continuing to share your progress.

Thank you so much, Michell! And you're welcome. It's my pleasure sharing my progress. I don't want people to be so worried about not being able to get back to working out. It takes time and patience, but it's totally doable.:)

Are you under the muscle? Are you experiencing any of the problems with your pecs pushing your implants up or out to the side? (I forget what that's called!) That is my biggest worry with getting a BA. I don't do Crossfit, but I train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 2-3 times a week, intense circuit training twice a week (involving pushups and other chest exercises), and yoga a couple of times a week. I just don't know if the BA is worth it if I can't workout like I used to afterwards. It's the pecs that worry me the most. Thanks for posting on this subject, it's been one of my biggest worries. I have my consultation on January 5 and I'm trying to research as much as I can on the subject. Surprisingly a lot of women's fitness sites don't have any articles on BA and working out afterwards. Thanks! :)

My implants are under the muscle. My pecs do push the implants outward if I do push-ups, bench press, etc. I expected that. They go back to normal if I'm not doing anything chest related. Basically, the pecs do that movement with or without implants underneath them. I'm careful though, and I listen to my body. See what your PS tells you. I'd get several opinions though. I've found fitness girls talk about their BAs on YouTube. The ones I've seen, went under the muscle, and said it's worth it.
