Holy moly it's been 3 months!
WORTH IT$5,200
The long and short of it is that at two weeks PO (when I last posted) I haven't thought twice about having the BA! The pain subsided at 1 week, stopped at 2 weeks and felt part of my body at 3 weeks! I'm very happy with what Dr. Pilcher did for me. She did recommend that I go to 400 and I didn't, and she was right! But even at 375 (saline, under) I'm super super happy! Boobs have not changed my life, but they def make my life easier in terms of what I can wear and buy!

Back to work today!
I'm 6 full days PO and I returned to work today. I was not supposed to return until tomorrow, but I had to meet some deadlines (unfortunately). I think I'll take off on Thursday :)
I drove this morning, and my commute is 1 hour. It wasn't so bad. 15 miles of my stretch is super windy so I was kind of all over the road bc I was trying to drive with the bottom of the steering wheel. Nothing was hurting, I just didnt want to upset my progress. It just feels weird to flex my pectorals and it creeps me out. I stopped taking hydrocodone on day 3 and stopped Tylenol on day 5. The sharp pains on lefty are subsiding and things are going well! I can tell they are softening because I can feel some water movement.
If anyone has questions just ask! After the first 24 hours this has been pretty easy! The first 12 hours I wanted to kill my husband for letting me do it :)

Whoa an hour to drive. Dont know how ill feel a week po when i go back to work, but I'm glad it's not bothersome for u :) My incisions will be in the armpit so i hope driving doesnt suck too much. I don't know how to put my emotions in words right now. I have 2 days until the day!

Isn't it weird? It's like not happy or sad, kind of a "whatever" feeling. That's how I was anyway! I kind of had no emotion. You'll be in recovery before you know it!

Thats good to hear. Sometimes I feel scared and other days I'm so ready for it to be done so I'm not stressing all day. I answer phones and do Alot of paperwork so it's good I won't be required to lift anything too much after I go back. How do feel back at work?

Driving will get easier! And I don't think you will hurt anything by using your muscles more, I have used them plenty and it seems to be just fine! Actually, it might have helped them drop some!

I'm sure you're right! The left one feels so weird almost like I can feel the muscle tighten on the implant. I've been guarding that side so maybe that's why??

Bloating is finally subsiding!
Even more than the sharp pains on the outside of my left breast, which have been radiating into my arm and across my boob to the middle, the bloating has really bothered me! I wanted to get boobs and deal with them, not with the feeling that I've gained 10lbs. So, on that note, I quit taking hydrocodone last night despite the pain, and the bloating has already gone down and I've gone poo. Yippee! I'm taking Extra Strength Tylenol every 3 hours during the day and then not waking up at night anymore. Trying to stay under 4,000mg of acetaminophen in 24 hours.
My boobs have looked really good since right after the surgery. They aren't high or flat. I just hope they don't drop too much because like I've said before I'm not sure where they'll go!
Anyway, I'm happy so far and ready to be able to move like normal without protecting my left side.
