Got the wrong boobs :(
I just typed a huge review and lost it before saving, and now I just don't have the same passion,,,sigh....
I've been back at the gym for a couple of weeks, but today I jumped into my old group fitness class which was THE BOMB! I had to improvise on all of the ab work, which was a lot, and I know my breasts will be sore tomorrow, but it felt great. My instructor has implants and she said I should use light weights for upper body and chest otherwise the muscles will separate the boobs with a huge valley in between. DON'T want that...
I can't say I'm completely happy with my boobs. First of all, I didn't get the size I asked for, and didn't figure this out until after surgery. I've been too embarrassed to post about it, because I'm too much of a sissy to complain to my doctor about it. So hopefully his staff reads these updates and I will get my unhappy message across without having to do it face to face. I'm uncomfortable saying anything negative to the doctor because he takes it personally, like I'm critiquing him. Ok, so heres how I got the wrong boobs. I originally was going with 275 & 300, which is what the dr recommended. I went in for a second fitting, and decided I liked a bit bigger and asked the nurse for 300 & 325. Then the day after surgery, I notice on my implant card I got 275 & 3000. WHAT THE HELL? At my first follow up, I asked the nurse about it, and she seemed flustered, and said "it wouldn't have made a difference anyway" and shook it off. Meanwhile, the doctor probably has no idea that she made this mistake, as she is the one who does the ordering, I'm sure. Now I have boobs that I wish were bigger. Maybe 25 cc's wouldn't have made much of a difference, but at least they would have been the SIZE I ASKED FOR!!!
Thanks for listening to my vent. I wish I could say this to my doctors face, but I just don't feel comfortable, and what could they do at this point anyway? The nurse who caused this brushed it aside, and I doubt she gave this info to the dr. WHen I have seen the dr at follow up visits, she is always there, so it doesn't feel right to say it. WHen I go in to see him, he whips out his ipad and shows me "before" pics to show me how good I look now, then I feel too vain to complain about my missing 25 cc's.
Ugh.
Anyhoo, me weight is still good. 5 lbs down from surgery day, but I'm going back on Jenny Craig food to see if I can get a bit closer to 130. It's a battle with the scale now though since I'm weight training and gaining more muscle, which causes my number to increase..
Best of healing to all of you!

5 week pics
Updated for 5 weeks post op
5 weeks later
5 weeks later and doing better every day! My swelling seems to be better this week (knock on wood). Seems it was at its worst during weeks 3-4. My scars are healing well. I am wearing scar strips all the time, except when the extreme heat in AZ melts them off. My boobs kind of ache on the sides, alongside my arms, all the time, but I notice that is better too.
Strange new things I've notice:
When I shave my legs, I prop my leg on the bench like area in the shower, and the sensation of my leg touching my stomach is so weird since there isn't any feeling there yet.
When I flex my pec muscles, that boob moves. My 20 year old son spends a lot of time in the gym, and he'll go shirtless and flex his pecs one at a time, and it always grosses me out. Now I can do that too. Grosses me out even more.
I miss wearing a bra. I can't wait to get in one. I feel like these camis I wear are smashing my boobs into my chest. My left nipple is threatening to become inverted, and I'm not sure if this is because of surgery. Has anyone else had this?
Went to VS and they sized me and put me at 36 DD. I was a 34 C before surgery, so I don't know why my band size is bigger, unless its swelling??
I went shopping to find a sexy new sleep something, and found that with the size of my boobs, I need to get a size large to fit the boobs, then the rest just hangs on me. :(
BTW, my husband I checked out the plumbing, if you will, at week 3. I never asked when we could do this, so I just took it upon myself to know when I was ready. My poor husband is wore out now :) Like newlyweds, I tell ya! ;) We have to be creative since my boobs are still so tender, so that in itself has added some spice, along with my shiny new body. I find him wanting to come into the bathroom all the time now when I'm changing, putting on scar cream, etc. If he had known years ago what this surgery would do to a persons self confidence, he would have been on board a lot sooner! Maybe this will work in my favor when I ask for an arm lift and thigh lift! :)
I won't be able to go to the gym until after my next dr visit on July 20. I have been so close to going, especially when I read everyone elses posts about their doctors releasing them after a couple of weeks. Then I remind myself how much money I paid for this surgery. Oh, and my weight is down to 138! I haven't been trying to lose weight, just juicing at least once per day and then eating as much raw veggies as I can.
It's sooooo hot in AZ. I can't go into the pool until after July 20 either. We are going to a spa retreat in Tucson on July 17 for my birthday, and I'm getting into the pool, regardless of what the dr says ;) I ordered a swimsuit on zappos, and before the surgery I NEVER would have ordered swimwear on line.
I'll post some pics when I figure out how to do it from my phone. Good healing to you ladies!!
