WORTH IT$6,000
So, life continues as normal after a BA!
My husband is the one who pointed out to me that my left boobie has dropped and fluffed :) He is all about the "natural" look is quite happy they are soft and very natural feeling.
Sometimes they are itchy but other than that, they feel totally a part of me!
The numbness has lessened although I dont have ALL my feeling back, I dont have any numb spots anymore. Nipples are not as sensitive as they were before. One annoyance is that when they are erect, it is a little uncomfortable. But I'll live with it!
Also, exercise and running is back to normal! Up to 12 miles on my long runs, and averaging 25-35 miles a week. No issues with the girls thankfully!
I am very much enjoying them, loving how my clothes feel! Glad I can still fit into everything I owned before. Looking forward to swimsuit weather!
Hope everyone is doing well! Thanks for checking in!

10 week update
Life has completely resumed back to normal. I hardly think about my breasts unless I am changing or showering at which point I admire them immensely :-) I am sssssoooo happy to have boobies!!!! I havent really gone shopping or worn clothes to play them up (its cold here in OH!) but I dont even feel its needed. Inside I am truly confident and happy with how I look and feel. My husband loves how free its made me. No more hiding my breasts, no more pads, no more "how does this top make my saggy boobs look?" etc. No more complaining that I dont feel like a woman.
I didnt post pictures because they look exactly the same! No changes visably although they are very soft and squishy and feel like the real thing.
I am back to my running with no problem. I am not lifting or doing push up because I am still paranoid about how they feel when I use my chest muscles. I do feel gurgling now and then when I do kickboxing (cross punches are a little awkward) but its really a nonfactor.
Scars are not as visible or lumpy. They are flattening out. I massage them usually after a shower, and another time during the day when I remember.
Just want to thank everyone on Realself so much for your honestly and support! It has helped tremendously and I wish everyone the best of luck! I have no regrets so far! Happy Boobie Valentines Day!!!

Thanks for the update. I had 170cc unders yesterday afternoon. I feel good. They seem huge. I'm hoping to lose interest in looking and talking about them soon. It seems likely people do unless there are complications. Seems mentally healthier. Life takes over. Otherwise I will be concerned that I got them for the wrong reason and look for something else to fix. I was very anxious prior to surgery and feeling better now. I think I will love the small size and don't think it will hugely impact Amy aspect of my life. You seem happy and healthy. That's great!

Sorry but I just had to add that boobie greed...
redwall1January 15, 2013
Sorry but I just had to add that boobie greed really exists! And although I thought FOR SURE that I wouldnt get it, I do indeed have it right at this moment! I am 100% happy with my outcome. I dont know if its because I've gotten used to these babies already or what, but I wish I had gone at least another 25-50 more cc's! Of coarse I will NOT tell my PS, cuz I swore to him I wouldnt want bigger!! LOL, the jokes on me!
Also wanted to say that my scar is still piled up, meaning they are thick. I have noticed that PS must make different types of incisions or they must close them differently. Cuz I have read on some posts that by week 6 their scars are flat and almost healed and cant notice except for the line. Well, thats not my case! I can very much feel them, and see them and I am rubbing them like crazy to improve circulation. My PS didnt recommend using scar guards and said in his experience it didnt help much.
OK, done babbling. You can tell, I havent been on this site for awhile!

Ugh...you had to wait 6 weeks? That's what I am dreading the most. Glad things are going well for you.
January 15, 2013
Its been TERRIBLE!!! Its been so so so hard not running. I've been walking, and trying to speed walk (which I hate!) and been sweatin, but it just didnt cut it! I've also very obviously put on some pounds too :-/ Oh well, its worth it!!!
January 15, 2013
Ahhh, that first run...happy for you! I had/have the gurgle as well, right side only( I am a righty; not sure if has any relevance). On long runs (10 miles+), it goes away on its own. I will admit the gurgle is a peculiar feeling! ; ) Happy trails & welcome back to running! : ) I am off for one right now
January 15, 2013
Did you ask your PS about it? Just wondering if I should call mine to ask about it. Dont want to hurt them....
January 18, 2013
No, I did not call the office, the "gurgling" went away after a few miles.
January 15, 2013
You look great. I was just getting ready to send you a message requesting pix. Cant wait to see triathletes pix too.
January 15, 2013
Thanks! Although unlike most ladies, I dont think my boobes really have anywhere to drop! I dont see much diff as the weeks pass by, but I can FEEL the difference, so its all good :-)
January 15, 2013
I'm not a runner, but I've had the gurgling, too. It was worse the first few weeks (I'm 2 months post op now). Just sounded/felt like fluid squishing around the implant pocket. Now that the swelling has gone down I don't notice it nearly as much, only when I move a certain way.
January 16, 2013
Honestly I never thought much of it, so I never mentioned it to him. If it really bothers you, it wouldn't hurt to ask about it. If you search the Q & A section of this site for breast implant noises (ha!) there are plenty of questions and Dr.'s answers about it.
