Ok so it's been a few weeks since I've been on here and a lot of changes and experiences happened that I jst forgot to update..
After my first week appt I stayed in bed like I was tld and rode it out until I met with him again for my 2nd week appointment.
The swollen had definitely gotten better although the left looked like it had already dropped and my right was still somewhat high. My dr cleared me to start massaging so I did. Two days into massaging my right breast starts to "lactate". I immediately freaked out and I asked the doctors on this website and they gave me some reassurance.
I wasn't "lactating" a lot, it was only a few spots but only from my right, I asked my dr on my 3rd appt and he said it wasn't uncommon but that if it didn't go away on its own then he Wld prescribe antibiotics to stop it. Luckily, it went away on its own and i didn't need the use of that, thank god! Cuz I had a planned trip I did not want to miss at all.
When I first started to massage I Wld wake up sore, at one point I thought I might of been doing it hard but I decided to keep going and the soreness went away and they did already become softer.
That whole third and almost 4th week was weird. I guess it's jst the body getting used to it and trying to adjust but I definitely had some weird instances where I even thought my left implant was mayb falling out of the pocket (my dr assured me that was impossible) along with sharp shooting pains and sometimes with certain movements my boobs cld almost like flex . Has anyone experienced that? That's still something I have to talk to him about because I forgot to bring it up at my last appt but I figure it's ok since it's not really noticeable. I tried to have my sister see but she Cldnt tell so maby it was jst the feeling it gave me.
Anyways, I had my 1month appointment before my trip to the Dominican and thank god my dr cleared me to Wrkout and tld me I shld be ok to do activities as long as I didn't hurt myself. He said if something feels funny or weird leave it and try again tmrw but luckily during my trip I had no awkward pain to where I had to stop.
The zip lining was fine I didn't really use my arms since it does have a harness.
Oh another thing too, I had gone out drinking two weeks after surgery and I was
So paranoid I had messed something up bcuz I had sex as well but thank god I didn't go crazy wild bcuz if I did, I probably wldnt b writing this review right now.
Of course I regretted it right after and googled and searched to see if I Wld be ok and I was. I asked the Drs along with my dr and he made it clear the issue with drinking is how much we drink and the actions that come from it, so it's ok to drink in moderation and as long as we black out and that cld lead to certain movements which cld end up in serious consequences.
Anyways that's all I can think of right now.
I'll try to post as much as I can.
I wnt be having my next doctors appointment until almost a month from now so I hope everything goes good for my EDC Vegas trip.
Good luck to everyone.!

1 week and 1 day
Today was my 1 week post op appt and my dr was not too happy with me????
I decided to drive to my spot so I was a little swollen from it and he wasn't pleased with that. I told him about my walk and wrk and he said I'm supposed to be in recovery and that I'm only making it worse and hurting myself and the only walking I'm allowed to do is from room to room at home. If I do as planned I should be ok and not as swollen for my trip on April 27. So I'm gonna do as he says and jst lay here even tho it's killing me! I hate jst laying around all day. I'm an active person and I miss working out! I feel like I'm gaining weight everyday but I'm watching what I eat.
I'm also always out and about so staying still is kinda boring, I'm trying to manage by keeping myself busy but I'm running out of ideas.
I'm starting to get really frustrated ????
I still get "morning boob" and my back still hurts every morning but I'm not sure if it's from my mattress or bcuz I'm laying on my back (usually I sleep on my side). It's getting easier and easier everyday except for the whole "bed rest " and staying at home.

Hello, I know probably no one reads this but I figure its better to keep updating as much as I can in case it does help someone. Every story I've read on here has been super helpful, even those that do not get as much attention as others or even older ones, so I think it's only fair i share my experience as well. Anyways, I tried going back to work today and I failed ????
I work at a business bank and my non can mentally draining more than physical but bcuz of this, I underestimated the amount of affect it would have on me. I wanted to come home as soon as I could and just lay down. My left breast started feeling just as numb as yesterday while I walked with my mom. I took a Tylenol but I still was so uncomfortable and it felt my breast was going worse and worse. Thankfully my boss is very nice and knows what's going on so she sent me home. I went to the bathroom and let the girls breathe a bit and I noticed that one did get a little more swollen and I guess the pressure I was feeling might of been cuz of the sports bra but I took a nap and felt way way better. I want to try going to work again tomorrow cuz I feel horrible missing so much especially bcuz my trip is coming up.
I also want to mention that last night I had trouble sleeping bcuz of my back.
I tried putting a pillow on my lower back and still no luck. It's been bothering me ever since the day after surgery but I think it's jst bcuz I'm used to sleeping on my side instead of on my full back.
Anyways hope everyone's healing good.

My dr has been great. Fairly private just as I am and very reliable. I love how realistic he is and how he sticks more to the natural look. Since the beginning he mentioned he would only go as big as my body frame allowed him to if those were my wishes so that was a huge plus we for me.
