WORTH IT$5,700
So excited about tomorrow's operation! Can not wait to feel renewed. I've certainly earned them. My stats are 5"8 138 lbs 34A hoping for 34C. I'm going with Mentor Memory Gel Silicone 400cc sub-muscular. I tried o many sizers from 350-450cc felt the most comfortable with the 400cc. My doctor seems to think I will be very pleased with the outcome! Got my RX's filled. Childcare lined up. House cleaned and shopping done!! Tomorrow is the big day! Yay!!!!

Surgery went well. Awoke with much more pain than anticipated. But they were kind to give me pain meds before I left. Came home and started my RX's. I'm taking hydro codeine and Tylenol 10/325 but cutting the pill and taking only half. Nausea was bad because I wasn't able to eat much and taking pain pills on empty stomach is the worst. If I had to redo it. I would just take extra strength Tylenol maybe 1000mg to ease the pain without the nausea to get myself eating. THEN I would start the pain meds. Today I've found my groove with all the medications. Every 3-4 hours I take pain pill with food and stool softener. Every 6 hours I take my antibiotics with a probiotic to help balance my stomach. As needed I take Arnica an over the counter homeopathic med that is for bruising swelling and soreness. A friend recommended it to me and boy does it work wonders! Today I'm just resting as much as I can. Crazy sore and feel like I've been shot in the chest. Icing every 2 hrs for 20 min. Helps so much! My left side is more swollen and tender than my right. So thankful my inlaws have my kids. There is NO WAY I could recover with the children home. Here's day one.

I know how you feel. I'm day two post op and yesterday was the worst. Drinks lots of water and rest. I've got three kids and it's hard for us moms to make ourselves rest but we need it to heal faster. Hang in there ;)

Congrats and happy healing! I think you choose a perfect size (we have pretty similar stats). Looking forward to updates :)

11 Days Post Op - Feeling Pretty good.
IveearnedthemFebruary 17, 2014
11 Days post Op and I'm feeling good! Nights around 8pm my incisions get really sore and achey. But Ill take Tylenol or half a pain pill. I prefer to not take a pain pill if I can do without but some nights the pain is pretty bad.
I have had a few moments of wondering if I should have gone bigger! I had 400cc Mentor memory gel silicone under the muscle. They haven't dropped yet. Still high and right but MUCH softer than a week ago. Is is just my constant view of myself in sports bras that is obscuring my view? Will I be much happier once I'm wearing normal bras? I just feel like they're a little smaller than I expected they would be. I guess I expected it to be super obvious. I mean I started off with hardly anything so this is certainly 2 sizes bigger than I started! Has anyone else suffered from this "boobie greed"? I def want to be happy with them. My husband thinks I'm crazy! Maybe I'm just having a moment? I def do not want to have surgery again for a VERY long time! Haha

I have to agree with you a little on the boob greed but then also say I think it has a lot to do with the dang sports bra 24/7 for so long... I am almost 4 weeks post of and I went this past Saturday and bought my first Victoria's Secret bra EVER!!! I was so excited to actually fit in one. I was a 36A before and didn't fit into any VS bra. I got 400cc Mentor Silicone Dual Plan and was measured at a 34DD or 36D, so I'm ecstatic! I did buy one bra and It does wonders for the girls! I had people actually ask if the $5000 was worth it because they couldn't tell a difference. I got upset at first then I thought... I did this for me not them, I know I'm bigger than I used to be, they are squished into a sports bra right now so that doesn't help the look, and also you can't wear cute clothes with a sports bra! Some people! I think you will love them once they drop and fluff and you can get out of the dreaded sports bra phase!!

Thanks so much! Honestly starting to feel so much better about the size. Phew!

You are looking so great! Congrats! I had the same sort of boobie greed/indecision. Some days I think my new boobs look small and other days they look huge to me. I had 371/421cc implants and I'm right around a 32D now...I'm guessing you will end up with at least a C if not more ;)
