Today I went back to work and barely made it through the day. I had the worst inner tummy muscle pain ever. I literally felt like I couldn't breathe. Maybe I went back to early but honestly I am a psychotherapist . i didn't expect that I would not be capable of working today.

Yes Sarah I was able to get through work today but I was walking around like i road a horse lol. I was like that too. I mean I was having the bubble guts and everything. Lol but I can honestly say that you will be just fine. You will go to sleep and feel like you were awaken the very next minute. It is so worth it though. Although im still in pain and swollen, i like better than ever.

Thanls lady. No problem. Honestly there isn't much else I could be doing outside of complaining all day lol. I like this better. I was considering a boob lift. Is it expensive?

I didn't have a lift, just implants. It was $4700 for silicone. I think just a lift would be around the same price if not less.

In a couple of days you will "turn the corner" and will feel much better. After that corner you will notice a slow gradual improvement nearly daily in the way you feel, in spite of the swelling. The first day after surgery through the third day seem to be the worst. Many find the second night worse than the first because of the inflammatory response and loss of benefit of the surgical anesthetics. Hang in there.
