Day 15 PO and I just saw my PS who had to stitch a drainhole bc the bugger wouldn't stop bleeding. But everything looks great, including the distended lower ab I was worried about. He says it's normal swelling. I'm so happy that the worst is behind me, and can't WAIT for another couple weeks to come!
Also, I am constantly reminded how perfect my PS is for me and how lucky I am to have chosen him. The first PS I consulted with didn't take pics, didn't have sample BA sizers, and actually told me I COULD NOT go less than 325cc's. I am so fortunate and happy.
One last thing, I had paid for everything pre-surgery including the hospital's $550 overnight stay. I ended up having to stay a second night bc low blood pressure and too much drainage. I called the hospital yesterday to hopefully settle up, and they informed me of my $22,000 charge with the uninsured discount for a grand total of $9,000. Wow, certainly hope they get that figured out. :)
I finally posted some pics yesterday. It's so awesome to have this site to journal everything and read others. Hope you're all doing great!

I know (and hope) a lot of swelling still needs to decrease, etc. but I am so scared that I went too big. I never liked large breasts and only got a BA bc I was going under for a TT. I am 5'8", 150lbs., was 36B, and got 250cc's. I have always idealized an athletic physique and I love to run. I feel like I've just made the worst decision of my life. Horrible feeling while I am recovering.

I felt the same way after my BA. You didn't get very large implants so I think you will probably be happy with the results once the swelling subsides. I had 400cc added to my 34a/b size and thought I had gone too big. I am 18 days post op and love my new look. You really can't tell I had anything done in my clothes because I have always worn a heavily padded bra. Give it a few weeks and I think you will be thrilled.

I completely agree with Perry4538. Your implants are not large (at all), plus you're tall (I think taller women sometimes benefit from a larger implant to balance their frame). It's probably just a combination of being swollen and simply having to get used to your new look. By the way, your breasts may look that much bigger because you had a tummy tuck, thereby enhancing the contrast between your newly flat belly & bigger boobies.
I'm only 5'4", 120lbs and I got 600cc implants! I was freaking out right after but now I'm thrilled-- and so is my boyfriend (who kept saying I didn't even need augmentation but still loves, and I mean LOVES, the results).
Good luck but I doubt you'll need it. I'm sure you look beautiful and hopefully you'll think so soon as well.

Yes, you had very modest implants on a taller frame. Once the swelling goes down, I bet you'll be much happier. Please come back and let us know!

OMG thanks so much for your opinions, girls! I have to say, since my initial post a couple days ago the swelling has gone down considerably and I feel much better about my decision. (Wow, NJ 600cc's - god bless ya, darlin!! :) Congrats!

Lol, Dawn! I know!! Try to post pics. I keep meaning to as well but I'm always too lazy or busy.
When I first got home I was really upset but I was coping by making jokes about my boobies. I said I was eating for 3 now & that my PS should have sent me home with a complimentary pole to dance around. And once, when my friend texted me playfully asking how the "twins were getting along," I kidded him that they were fighting and he suggested I give them each a time-out in their own room! That's how swollen & just plain huge I was.
I really thought I looked ridiculous. But things settled down a lot and if I'm not too big with 600cc's (well, maybe I am a little too big but in a good way...) then you're not with 250. Enjoy them! I'm sure you look waaaayyy hot!

I feel the same way. I had a deflated 36B and had a lift and augmentation with 400cc gel. I am 12 days out and although I don't feel too big with clothes on I do feel big without clothes. Does anybody know how long it takes for the swelling to go down all the way? I feel like I have 2 mounds sitting on my chest. They do drop some right so they look a little more "less fake"
