3 Month Update

Hi Ladies! Loving life with boobs! How I lived without them I don't know:) I feel sexier, more womanly and my clothes all look better!!!! In 2 days it will be my 3 month mark. I measure at 34C at VS but sometimes a 34D feels better. My scars are healing nicely. I use bio oil on them and massage at night. They feel much squishier! It still feels weird when I hug people! Righty still sits a little lower than lefty, but they were always like that. It does really bother me. Still haven't worked out yet but soon. I was cleared to last month but Im just lazy:) Have a great New Years!

Post Op Day 2

Grrr. Firefox crashed and erased what I just wrote!
Im on the other side! BOOBYLAND! Surgery went great and my PS said Im going to really like them. He went with Mentor 350 smooth round HP. They are rock hard right now and look weird but I can tell Im going to love them!

I've got great friends and my mom who have helped me. I've been sleeping a lot and taking pain meds as perscribed. My only issues are constipation and bloating. I cant stop farting! The long squeaky farts! So funny. My mom thinks Im gross, but I just laugh. Farts will always be funny in my book. I drank some smooth move tea, prune juice and miralax...NOTHING but farts:) I also had a steady headache all day that turned into a migraine around 7pm tonight. I took some excedrine, put an ice pack on my head and slept. Im good now. And yesterday I got nauseous, sweaty and light headed. Ive never fainted before, but thats what I thought was going to happen if I didnt sit down. Kinda scary!

I took a shower today and it felt amazing! I've been putting stretch mark coco butter on and vitamin E oil. Target was out of bio oil so I though vitamin e was fine and I already owned it. My incisions are only around an inch since he used the Keller Funnel. They are covered up with steri strips. But look good from what I can tell.

Have you ladies had any experience with bio oil or the arnica stuff? My skin is pretty tight and I just want to use the best stuff out there.

One More Sleep!!!!!!!

Hey ladies! So I cant even describe how excited I am for tomorrow morning. Since my last post, where I was very frustrated, things have worked themselves out. I went to my doctors office on wednesday to try on some sizers again and talk to him about size. I had also seen online that Seintra has halted sales of implants to the U.S. Crazy! That was the implant I had chosen but now he will not implant them anymore. I guess they found contaminants in their factory in Brazil. Nothing actually harmful, but they found silicon and a cotton derivative on the implants? Their stock took a dive!! I am so glad this happened before and not after my surgery.

Anyways. I told him my worries about not being as large as I want. My BWD is only 11cm and the mod+ mentor I could only go to 250. No bueno! So we tried on sizers and switch to Mentor gel 325-350 HP. I am a little nervous about 350 and the HP thing. I just don't want the two grapefruit look. However, I like the way the 350 sizers looked. I brought it a bunch of shirts this time to see what I would like like. LOVE! So we will see what he chooses.

I have to be at the surgical center at 11am. My friend is coming with me and then we are going to my parents house. I got all my scripts filled, got some front closure cheap bras at Walmart this morning and a nice Hanes front zip sports bra at the Hanes outlet. It feels like I am nesting for my new girls! Im going to bring my dog and my stuff over to the rents house tonight.

Happy Happy Girl!!!! Ill see you on the other side!

Dr. Z is great! My boobies look amazing, recovery was a breeze, minimal pain, and no bruising. He is very good at his job. Only downside was that he was not at my pre-op appt and at that time I still was undecided with size and profile. And at that time, we had decided on Sientra (paid for the Sientra), but nobody told me he wasn't doing those anymore. I had to make a separate appt to see him, try on sizers again, and select a different brand of implant. My pre-op nurse wasn't the friendliest but everything went great. Definitely recommend him!
