Late update
WORTH IT$5,590
Hey Ladies! I know it's been a while...I've been super busy. Recovery is going way better than I could even imagine! I've been 100% pain free since March 17th, which was my 1week mark. Besides the fact that my implants are super high and I have a small numb patch under both breasts, I don't even feel like I had surgery! I thought recovery would be much slower, but I feel 99% like myself. Although, I can't show them off yet because they're so high, my confidence level is through the roof! I love walking around the house in my sports bra...my body finally looks proportionate!! This Friday I'll have my 2wk follow up appointment where my doc will remove the tape over my incisions. I know my incisions will probably look scary, but I'm ready to start using scar cream. Hopefully it'll look perfect by June.
Oh side note, just as everyone warned, I gained 8lbs since the surgery. My stomach is still very bloated and I'm still talking a stool softener once a day to aid my BMs. My mother is a doctor and told me that anesthesia can stay in your system for up to a month, so it may take a while for my digestive system to get back on track. In the meantime, I've started going to the gym and sitting in the sauna to speed up my water weight loss. So far so good! I can't wait till I can actually work out though. I'm hoping my doctor will give me permission to start walking on the treadmill. I've gotta get this weight off me! :)
I'll update y'all after my appointment this week.

Back pain but back to work!
Small update...Everything seems to be healing perfectly. I've been off the pain meds since the 13th and yesterday was the first day I didn't need Tylenol and today is my first day back to work. One thing that has caught me by surprise (no one on here talks about it) is the amount of upper back pain!! My back has been killing me since the 10th. I know it's from me having a hunched posture for the first four days but damn! I'm finding myself needing to rest a lot, not from boob pain but back pain. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe I have my strap on too tight? Whatever it is, I can't wait for this stage to pass
Another thing, last night I tried to sleep flat on my back and surprisingly it was more uncomfortable than sleeping upright. After 20mins of struggling to get comfortable, I pulled out my back pillow and fell back sleep in the same position as I had the nights before.
I'll be getting my incision tape off next week. I hope the scar isn't too bad.

I hope you have a good easy day back to work. Oh so how many said something?
Thanks! Honestly, I'm wearing layers today and a scarf so no one has noticed. Lol
Oh lol! How was your first day back?
It was good. Easy breezy :)
Good glad to hear that! 4 more days and i will be on the other side with you. I went out and had some beer first time i relaxed since i had my pre op.
I know this is way late from the date of your post but I'm op is 1 week away and I have similar stats as you. Because I have a wide chest he's recommending me 700cc. Can you post a recent update as to what they look like now so I can get a general idea of what mine would look like ?

Starting to feel like myself
So after experiencing extreme bloating and horrible headaches and nausea like a hangover, I weened myself off of the pain meds. I had my first real BM this morning yay! I'm no longer in pain just extreme discomfort...my upper back/shoulders are extremely tight. I think my breasts are settling nicely. My boyfriend has been nothing short of amazing during my recovery. I'll be returning to work on the 16th.

Wow you look amazing! My biggest fear is not having a bm and hurting. Im glad your recovery is getting better.
Thanks! It actually was too bad until the last two days. The first two days I barely had an appetite; I only had soup and crackers both of those days. I started experiencing discomfort on the 3rd day when I started eating more food.
I am going to keep pruin juice which i hate and get some enemas so i dont get that away. Congrats to you! Im getting so excited 10 more days.
I'm excited to you! You'll be smooth sailing by day 4. Honestly, the prune juice nor stool softener did anything for me. I didn't receive any relief until yesterday when I stopped taking the pain killers.
Oh ok thank you for letting me know. Oooof so ready to get it done.
hi barbarella, for the BM - what works really well is vitamin c - berocca and magnesium effervescent tablets in water, otherwise - try smoothie with chia seeds xx, I have had a BM each day since surgery and i truly believe it's from the berocca vitamin c and also the magnesium efferverscent, as well as smoothies with chia seeds for fibre [RS bleep]
Thanks sweetie. Im out getting last minute stuff and grocieries to make homeade soup and lunches for the next 2 weeks. I worked to hard on this weight loss to gain more than a couple pounds that will be expected from the boobies. Lol i hope you are doing good!
Hey lovely, your results are amazing! as for the upper back pain and shoulders, have you been regularly using a hot wheat pack??? it helps a lot, or arnica rub cream [RS bleep]
Hello how many cc you have done thanks
