Feeling pretty good today. I haven't taken any pain meds since just before the procedure, apparently percocet makes me sick and I know from past experience that other pain killers have similar side effects; so I'm sticking with Aleve, the pain really is pretty minimal anyways. I am pretty flat. Ok completely flat. But ny boobies feel soft and real; hopefully they "fluff" up over the coming weeks.
about the surgery: I got there about 30 minutes beforehand and took 2 percicets and 10mg of valium, which made me feel pretty drowsy. He numbed me up with lidocaine really well. The surgery took about an hour, he actually removed the implants intact- I can't believe those big balloons were in my! The only part that was was painful is when he "roughed up" the inside of the pocket to help it adhere, which he did with his cauterizer and felt like being burned with a curling iron- on the inside. Less than pleasant. Also he insisted on placing drains. He wants them in for a week, but I'm going to call on Monday and beg to have them out. Its really hard to find shirts that are baggy enough around the midsection to hide these damn things.
overall I feel pretty good and not having any regrets!!
ps- this site won't let me post photos from my phone, so I'll have them up when I feel like going to a conputer

How are you doing girl!? I'm getting mine out next week and very nervous.

I'm doing really good. I had my drains removed yesterday and the doc wants me to keep my chest tightly wrapped for another week. He said he was surprised by how well my skin has bounced back considering how large my implants were. I have hardly had any pain at all, and most of it was at the drain insertion sites, so now that they are gone I feel much better. I'm thinking I'll even go back to the gym today! You'll be fine, the build up is way worse than the actual procedure

Just got home from the procedure. Everything went great but the percocrt I took prior to the surgery is making me sick to my stomach. I'll post pictures in a few days.
