15 months PO - Wish they felt as great as they look.
WORTH IT$7,000
I've been meaning to do an update for awhile. If you read through my story you will notice I mention pain in my left boob a lot. It still hurts 15 months later. I have nerve pain in my ribs below my left incision that wouldn't go away and got worse over time. Things like driving, opening doors, pushing a grocery cart... Became difficult.
I've had a chest X-ray and Chest CT and both came back fine. Nothing is wrong with the implants them selves. I've been seeing a pain specialist for 3-4 months and he currently has be taking Lyrica. It helps... But the side effect suck. Weight gain, swelling, etc.
Hoping for the best but feeling discouraged. I wish they felt as great as they look.

7 weeks PO
I had my 6 week check up last week. PS said everything looks great! My muscles are still a little tight. So, i have a little more dropping & fluffing to do. I've been measured at a 34DDD twice at VS... And the bras definitely fit. My PS seemed pretty surprised by that tho. I think they run small, idc what the tag says really, I just love my new boobies!
I have no trouble on my bike or the eliptical/stair climber at the gym now. Leg workouts are fine too, but I tried doing some light arm weights (bicep/tricep) this weekend... Some of the movements were ok, but others still hurt my left boob. Lefty has been the most sore throughout the entire process tho. So, I'll probably stick to cardio this week & give it another week or so before I try weights again.
I asked my PS about when I can go back to the tanning bed... He's really against doing it ever! Looking grossly pale in the summer is totally killing me though! Has anyone else tanned yet?

You look great! Good to know about lifting weights I was wondering how long and when doing arms would feel comfortable. For tanning have you tried any of fake stuff? I use the brand fake bake flawless and it works really good. It's a spray and you apply if with a mit so you can see where it's tanning. Not streaky at all. It's a nice fast tan :)

Would you mind posing pictures of your scars now? What have you used to heal them?

4 week update
I've been meaning to update, but things have been very busy. Wedding planning is in full force now that I'm 6 months away from the big day!
My new boobies are doing great and I'm feeling like myself again. I am able to sleep on my side without any discomfort and my scars are disappearing quickly.
I went into VS last week and they measured me at a 34DDD. I don't think by looking at me, anyone would guess that size though. I'm hoping I'll end up being able to fit in a DD only cuz the bra selection at DDD sucks!
I'm still in search of really good sports bras since I'll be cleared to resume workouts soon!! They seem to be so expensive at Dick's... Let me know if anyone has any suggestions!
Overall I've had a great experience and am so thankful for this site for helping me through the process!
