Well. I did it. I have wanted a BA procedure for years. I am very active and was always frustrated by my appearance and bathing suits and sports bras. I am a horseback rider, a barrel racer, and so I thought they would get in the way. I talked to several women who ride and have implants. My other concern was breast cancer. But I did some research. Seems that the under the muscle procedure actually allows mammography to detect cancer better than over the muscle. So... With my questions answered on my concerns at bay, I did it. The procedure was this morning at 9. I've been in bed all day on pain pills. The nurse said it would feel like I'm engorged from breast-feeding. When I first left the operating room the pain was more like a sharp object in my chest. It is more dull now, thanks to the meds. I would not say the feeling is like engorgement at this point. It effin hurts!

My boobs are hot and angry! I haven't needed pain meds since about midnight, but I was up every two hours. I couldn't sleep comfortably and I kept waking up with a super dry mouth. Going to the doc today for post-op appt. Hoping that the removal of the white band will help me feel better.

At my appointment this afternoon the nurse took the white strap off to look at the sutures and OMG it felt so good! She said swelling was normal. It's 7 pm now, the day after surgery and I'm only on Tylenol and the antibiotics. I have been using cold packs and am just lounging in bed.
