So Much Better Than Expected
WORTH IT$5,900
I love these boobs. They were 100% worth the first 3 days of intense pain, worth sleeping upright in a recliner for 9 days, worth trying to find business attire that works with sports bras, and worth giving up crunches for 2 weeks. They are amazing and I love them and I don't have to take them off every night...they just STAY!
I had my 2 week follow up appointment on Thursday and had my stitches removed. I had no idea they were so annoying until they were out. My doctor says I am exactly where I should be and still have some softening and dropping to do but he wants me to start wearing underwire bras to lock the girls in and help develop a crease. Since I had NO breast tissue before, I have never had a crease. I ordered a few Natori bras in a 34D based on the measurement charts online but I wanted a second opinion so I went to Soma today for a fitting a was deemed a 34D so that was pretty exciting.
Overall, this has been an awesome experience. I stopped taking pain meds and muscle relaxers on day 5 and went back to work on day 7. I started walking very slowly on the treadmill on day 4 and the doctor released me for normal speeds this week and also for ab and lower body resistance exercises so I feel good about that. I wore a bikini top for the first time in years last week and didn't feel like an 11 year old girl. I'm a mother of 3 and I'll be damned...I'm kind of hot! The change in my outlook is astounding.

Headaches and Big Bellies
I am so thankful that I poured over this site for months before my BA, otherwise I would have been totally horrified by my Frankenboobs and my bloated belly. I am used to having a pretty flat stomach so I'm not keen on this new puffy midsection I've acquired.
Yesterday was my post op appointment and it was rather concise. My PS said everything looks fine, my bandages came off but the steri strips stayed on, I can shower today, and can walk at very low speeds on the treadmill as long as I don't sweat or increase my blood pressure. I wasn't prepared for the post op back and shoulder pains or the headaches that have greeted me every morning. Luckily, my chiropractor is my cousin and he does house calls. He worked on my back and neck which he said were strained from being toted around during and after surgery and from sleeping in this recliner. Now that I finally have some relief from that I feel 10 times better. I think I'm ready to escape from the house today...I've had enough resting and can't watch anymore HGTV at this point.

They look good already! :-) My stats are not similar to yours (5'4", 140lbs, athletic) and I also got 397cc Natrelle's (Style 15, I believe.... Mod Plus.) I think you will be happy with the size!

Day of treatment
The Girl Have Landed
I finally made it to surgery day and my low iron didn't even stop me. I went in at 8:30n came out at noon with boobs. They are giant but I'm hoping they look natural and appropriate for my frame.

Congratulations! They don't look giant although I can imagine they feel relatively giant. I am currently built like you used to be...nd am anemic (per calorie I think cooked spinach is your best bet for iron - the pills are harsh, but maybe you already know that). Good luck. I will be following along and posting my own review soon. Right now I am scheduled for July 15. I think I am going for 450CC Mod + profile. I am 5'9.5", 135lbs, with NO BOOBs. I am sure I will be shocked when there's something there.
They're not too big. Don't worry. Enjoy.

It is so surreal seeing curves in a nightgown. I have never seen a curve above my hips; it's crazy. The pain is no where as near what I anticipated...much less than my former c-sections. I am very pleased.
