Still very tight and high but Dr. says they look good and should soften and settle in with time. I did have quite a lot of bruising on one side and I'm sure that's where a lot of the soreness is coming from. I will say the incisions are pretty dang sensitive and of course that's where the band of my support sports bras hit. I have been putting a little pad in to buffer that area and it does seem to help. Thanks so much Ladies for the info and updates they really help. Just knowing how it's going for some of y'all makes the whole thing easer.

Not sure just yet. Dr. said it could be 2 or 3 months before things settle in place. I'm thinking a full C though.

I meant implant size. I got 300 cc but at VS I was measured a D, I can't believe it. I will be 11 weeks tomorrow.

I ended up with 425cc high profile so it will be interesting to see what my cup size ends up being. How are you feeling? I am at 2 weeks post tomorrow. Still pretty sore especially after a 12 hour work day. On my shorter days at work it's not so bad.

I go for my pre op today! It's getting close. I'll get my prescriptions and try out the sizers again just to make sure on the CC amount. I think it will be the 400cc. I've got my list of questions about my limitations on lifting stuff and exercise. Definitely going to let them know I would like some nausea medicine before and after surgery as I have had trouble with that with past anesthesia. (I have had quite a few knee surgeries so I know how my body reacts with anesthesia.) 2 weeks and counting until the arrival of my new girls!

Had a good pre op. Tried on the sizers again. Tried the 450cc on one side and 400cc on the other. Hard to tell any difference but the nurse did tell me when you do the unders you loose about 20cc in volume which isn't really much. I decided to go with Doctors suggestion at time of surgery as to whether to use the 400 or 450cc. Getting excited!

That didn't work quite right. I'll try again.
