skinnyjeans 2 Posted November 20, 2009 Mimilou, I will say I really like the boobies. There were so many cute clothes this year I couldn't buy because didn't have enough fullness on top. I'm glad I went for the impants. It wasn't a priority for me. I didn't want be bigger than C but because I had extra skin needed bigger implant to fill out. I'm so excited for your journey to start. Can't wait to follow your progress. I'm glad you a have a good friend to help you out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyjeans 2 Posted November 20, 2009 Had my 1 week followup with Dr. today. He said everything is healing perfect. drain is out. YAY! It didn't even hurt when he removed it. I was breathing and bracing myself for pain because I remember years ago when had breast reduction when they removed drains it hurt like crazy. Belly button did ooze some this morning after shower. he said this is normal and watch it. Bump of skin on right side he said will smooth out over time. Swelling .... Well just will take time. up to 8 months for total swelling to subside. Mom made me laugh. She can't belive how much flatter tummy is even with all the swelling. Hubby took 1 week pics and will load them now on MMH. Even went shopping with mom for around 3 hours today. Took several breaks to just sit while trying on clothes/ shoe shopping. Only took tylenol and feeling really great. Almost able to stand completely upright. Feel most of the pulling in groin area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue Magoo 71 Posted November 20, 2009 Hi Skinny: Be careful not to do too much. Three hours of shopping may set you back a bit or increase your swelling over the next few days. Funny what you said about the pulling being in the groin area. That's where I would get the worst sharp pains. It was impossible to sleep on my side because the pain would come right away if I did. Unfortunately that's where my body goes when I'm asleep. The pain would randomly hit there when I wasn't doing anything too. Sounds like you're well on your way to recovery. It's nice to have the drains out. It makes showering and getting dressed so much easier. Get some rest and relax. Take care. Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimilou2004 13 Posted November 20, 2009 Wow, Skinny, you are doing so well!!!! Good for you!!! Listen to Sue and don't over due it. I am so happy that the drains are out and you are feeling so well. I am eager to see the pictures. Reading about your decision for implants (flat on top) makes me re think whether I need the implants. Is it silly to be almost 60 with totally perky young bewbies? I don't know!!!! Thank you for your encouragement and all the information you are sharing. Mimi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sue Magoo 71 Posted November 21, 2009 Just had my first sneeze. Oh my gosh. Need a hydrocodone now. Hurt bad If you feel a sneeze or a good laugh coming hug a pillow to your abdomen and hold it there until after the sneeze or laugh. Sneezing and laughing were painful for the first couple of weeks. Take care. Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mimilou2004 13 Posted November 22, 2009 Yes, Skinny, just relax and enjoy your book. I am glad you love your Mom, flaws and all. She stepped up to help you and that is super. I wear my Mom's wedding ring set and every time I move my hands they clink together and remind me of her. She would be proud of my wt loss as yours is of yours.
