Road to recovery

Sorry I haven't been on here in awhile but I had some complications. Not with the BA though I ended up with blood clots in my legs and lungs. So I have been in the hospital for a few days to be monitored and now I am back home. I have actually not really been paying attention to my boobs persay as I all I do is rest to make sure my blood clots don't move on me.

I am now waiting for my boobs to drop into place. I have bandaged them up per what my Dr wants me to do. It doesn't seem to be working though hopefully they will drop a lot more. The left side has dropped more then the right side. Since I had a lift too I started to put on some mederma on my scar so it will heal with a smaller scar. Hopefully it works. I need to take more pictures again and post them. Swelling has gone down as I noticed that the sports bra I am wearing could be a little tighter.

Besides doing my BA/BL I also had lipo in the abdomen and inner/outer thighs and knee area. Well my left leg was getting worse instead of better. I could walk not well and slow but I could walk. By day 5 or 6 I couldn't walk on my left leg it was huge. But my right leg was swollen but I still could walk on it. So when I went to my follow up with my plastic surgeon I told him I was getting worse not better. So to be on the safe side we did a ultra sound on my legs and sure enough I had the blood clots. But I had about 4 risk factors that it could have been the issue. It wasn't because of the BA so don't worry about that at all. To be honest the lipo was worse then the BA. I was shocked that I hardly had any pain like I thought I would. Now the only thing that did hurt for like a couple of days was the pressure on my chest. It did feel like something was sitting on me. But you get use to it quickly. I love my results and I would not change a thing. :)

Pictures from day 4

I took some pictures for everyone to see. It has been rough the past few days. Having more then surgery was rough to deal with and seems to take a lot out of me, but I am chugging away. Each day is little bit better. I am slowly trying to ween myself off of the pain meds and use them as I need them. I don't want to sleep all day long. I think the worst part for me is the shortness of breath. You can see from the pictures the left side looks a little bit better then the right side.

Hi there! I think the size looks great! They will only get better and better. Once the swelling goes down & you can start to see what they'll really look like, is a great day! I had a BL/BA on April 26th & couldn't be happier! Congratulations! You'll love 'em!

Yesterday was the big day

Yesterday was the big day and I had my surgery. I don't really remember much though. I was sore afterwards even on the meds they gave me, but not too bad. Having to get up and go the bathroom was challenging though. My left breast does hurt more then my right when I try to get up. The pain in general isn't too bad. I haven't seen them yet though when I take my shower I will be able to check them out. I ended up getting the silicon 475cc's. I am hoping they are big enough I had 2nd thoughts on what I picked first which was 450cc ,but when I talked to the Dr he told me he was giving me 475cc. I can't wait to see them though. :) I will add pictures later on today when I can see them.

I also had lipo done in my thighs and stomach but pain is very minimal thank goodness for that.
