I am a very active individual who lives in the gym. I have an athletic physique and was limited to what I could wear, creating somewhat low self image between my husband and I.
Don't get me wrong, I can do amazing things, just wasn't fully developing like I wished.
The season came around where I had enough down time at work (I'm active duty military) that they allowed me the procedure and gave me plenty of recovery time. Whatever helps a sailors moral...they're all about it.
The surgery went well, and I was in Heaven! I slept so much in recovery..by choice and went for light walks. I could go out but was careful, just because the surgery was important to me and III wanted to get back ASAP to my normal routine.
The swelling and placement of the implants were awesome. I didn't want them to go down. LOL.
I'm now three weeks post op and the swelling is almost gone. I love them. The scar is not even noticeable, and is healed. They are still settling and I am not in the gym yet. I do do lower body excercises, which is fine Doc said.
This recovery also opened up my life and slowed me down a bit, making me realize other important factors in my life, aside from what my body looks like.

10 days is not enough time if you're considering...

10 days is not enough time if you're considering getting back in the weightlifting, that is. This is a hard decision for weightlifters who want the procedure. But, worth it ! Much compassion for you.

So good to hear your happy results! I am a fitness freak also and can improve every area of my body through hard work and nutrition, but not the boobs. I was once close to 200lbs in my 20s. I've been quite active in fitness since my early 20s and my lack of breasts is just sad. (Posted a review under RavensGal on here.) Anyway, I've been worried about how my BA will affect working out in the future. I think it may kill me to rest for the 10 days....but believe me, day 11 and I'm going to be doing what I can! I know I'll have to start slow. Your last sentence hit me.....hmmm....probably what I need as well. I tend to be OCD with things and definitely am with my fitness routine. Glad you have such great results and thanks for sharing!

I see you're very happy with your results but you gave the thumbs down, "not worth it" rating? Just thought I'd point that out so your PS doesn't have a bad review strike against him. (-:
