I've never posted anything yet, but figured I would. I also have some
insomnia, maybe from the hydrocodons or from anesthesia? Feel free to contact me about any of my experiences.

I am on day 1 post op. Today was such a terrifying day, but here I am! Surprisingly, the pain is not as much as I expected! The surgery went fast and I don't remember it, so that's amazing. However, upon waking up I instantly felt nauseous, but didn't throw up. After I got home I immediately took a 1 hour nap and felt better.

My goal was to look a little bigger and fuller, but not noticeable. I gained like 10 lbs over the past few years and feel bigger boobs would make me love my body more. So far I think I've achieved that. I'm curious to see what drop and fluff really means.

I had my friend over today. She noticed immediately, but we've discussed it a lot. She went for a consult, but never followed through. She was amazed that I was up walking around, heating up meals, and going to the bathroom independently, all with minimal pain. Getting up is a little tricky, but tolerable.

Note: I am unsure of the true cost of this procedure. My health insurance covers all, but the initial consult. They even cover some of that consult and it only cost me $25. I also spent $10 on my own zipper sports bra. The procedure, anesthesia, and post op visits are all paid through insurance. Lucky me!

Please let me know what you all think. Do you notice a difference? I do.

Congratulations on your surgery...you look great! It sounds like you're doing really well with your recovery so far. I have not heard of health insurance paying for breast augmentation before but that's great you were able to get yours covered. Did you have to do anything special for this coverage? Feel free to join the July 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum to see how others like yourself are recovering!

Actually we are just really lucky! My employer has a Union and it was written into a contract years ago, and since we cannot settle a new one, the cosmetic rider stays.

I was also able to get lasik for $120, four free laser hair removals, unlimited facials, and know of people who get tummy tucks, nose jobs, etc.

Keep posting! Your frame looks very similar to mine and I am seeking the same---improvement but nothing obvious. They look great! I'm still debating over 234cc low profile or 265cc low profile. Not a huge difference, but when you don't want it so obvious, it can be! Are you happy?

I'm only on recovery day 1, but so far so good. Tomorrow I get to shower and take the padding out, so that'll be exciting! I want to look natural and not go back to work and shock people!

Hey ladies. Feeling pretty good, just sore and so tight.

I was able to take a shower today and take my padding off. I'm happy to have some projection now without push-up!

Hoping things will settle in soon. I'm ready for them to feel natural.

I actually got it at Walmart. A set of two for like $8. I don't want to spend too much at this point.

Yea I understand that. I figure I will wait at least 8 weeks or more to bra shop. I am at five weeks and they are still riding a little high and firm so not time yet.

Today marks my one week! Finally, my boobs are starting to feel like mine. However, I still feel tingly and tight.

I bought my first real bra today, 34C (It was only $5!). I've never been close to a C cup in my life!!! I'm also measuring a 36B as well. I'm definitely happy with the size! I feel like they look natural for my body type.
