Mimilou2004's TT

Kathy, the breasts were the easiest part of my surgery! The discomfort I had felt only like I had done too much weight on the bench press the day before! The side that I had reduced was a little more sore than the side I just had lifted, but neither was much pain at all.

The only reason I had an implant put in was because my surgeon said the B cup I would be after surgery would not look like the B cup I wanted. He said the tissue I had would fall, and my ribs would still be able to be seen on the upper breast.

Good Luck!

Hi back to Mimi and Niki -- I put on 2 supportive sports bras and went jogging on the treadmill at the gym today! I can't even imagine. I could do about .1 mile and then I'd walk some and then another round and then I finished with .25 mile stretch at the end for about 45 min total. I wasn't swaying in the top and my knees, ankles and feet were not hurting. Really what was holding me back was cardio- I felt my heart rate getting above 160 after the .25 mile part and I felt that was pushing pretty far past the 136 bpm that is for 80% capacity for cardio for a 50 year old range person. I am hoping if I keep at it, the cardio will get stronger, not pump as hard, so I can jog for longer periods. Basically, the BR has helped me to get jogging. Now if I can get this last 40 lbs off I will be lining up for Tummy Tuck in 2011!
