My Consultation is on Monday and I'm hopeful I will be able to schedule for September 1st. I already know which Dr. I want to use as I've seen his work first hand and it's really really good. He also does reconstructive surgery for weight loss patients. I might want to get many consults at that point, and most likely might choose another Dr. for my Total Body Lift. However, that won't be for a few years from now. I am still considering doing the arm lift but will wait to see how time heals that.

Attached are my pre-op photos. Right now my breasts are a 34C, however I bet if I wanted to fit in a B cup I probably could. My breasts totally flattened out in the last 20 Lbs!! They were doing great for a long time. I do believe I'm going to go for about a DD. As far as the knees, as you can see no explanation is necessary. I'm sure having that extra pillow of fat will feel so much more comfortable for me, during workouts and just the way my clothes fit. I'm very excited about this and I'm ready to go!!!

Day 5 still looking great!

Wow! You look great Irene. I am with you. Whatever makes you happy. Just ignore the naysayers. They are just jealous. Way to go!

The work you are having on your inner thighs,,,is it just going to be lipo or a lift?

Thanks!!! I'm just getting Lipo's right now. I don't want to spend the money on any lifts until I'm at least a few years out. It will give my skin the chance to snap back as much as it ever will, and will in turn give me the best possible results.

I have even postponed my first Lipo appointment. I feel like I want to recover from this surgery more. My first Lipo will now be October 14th being the inner thigh and knees, and my Second will be in November. No rush. I'm actually extremely happy already.

Yayyy!!! Oh not to worry, I don't care what anyone thinks... I know its their problem, not mine because I love em!!! And since I'm the one living with them, that's all that matters.

Irene, you have some gorgeous tatas!!! Seriously, I am sooooo jealous! I am so happy for you, and I cannot wait to see the pix of you showing off your new bod in some gorgeous new clothes! Congratulations, you sooooo deserve all of your success!!!

two thumbs up from the Male crowd !!!!! :D

Not being gross what ever makes a women happy! I am all about strong, independent females. I say if you want'em, get'em ...thats my philosophy..

All the better for us boob guy's !

good luck ladies...

Beautiful tatas! They look just right on you. You are filling out your clothes in all the right places... Can't wait until I am there.

Khy

I think they look great! Congrats

Today I am ONE FULL WEEK POST OP!!! Wow... I can't believe it!!! I posted this on the Boobie thread, and I'm pasting it here for my one week update. Sorry, no photos. They pretty much still look the same. However, I was reading http://www.justbreastimplants.com/forum/ for those of you interested, and it seems that it takes to around 4 months for the swelling to be completely gone and to look normal again. I suppose mine will shrink a little, which is fine... because right yesterday I felt tight in the 38DD bra I have. Wow!!! I know it's all swelling but my goodness. From a 34C to a 38DD+ in 6 days is a bit much... LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's really weird how mine deflated. I was good to go for a really long time, and thought I'd end up lucky. I carried my Full D's all the way until I got under or around Onederland. Seriously then one day I woke up and realized my bra ain't working no more. I was so sad... and yeah, it's all vanity but so what? In my whole life, it was always my boobs that I loved and helped to overlook my heaviness. They were really great! Then whoosh... gone... like a balloon with a tiny whole poked in it!!

I went from a full D, immediately to an average C... then even from there the Cs starting feeling like I could go smaller. I never did out of pride and knew I was getting them fixed soon anyway.

I'm one week out now today (WOW time flies!!) and for the first time I have not woke up with any amount of serious pain. I have a high tolerance for pain too, but have needed the heavy stuff for the first four days and have needed Tylenol beyond that like clock work. However this morning, I haven't even taken anything. I have a few things to do later so I will still take some preventative... but it's nice to know I'm getting a little better every day.

I know no one asked, but for those looking into it, I'll tell you getting breast implants feels a little strange. My breasts have been completely numb since the day of surgery. Its really hard to explain... however since yesterday I've been getting little tingly sensations in them. It's almost like, you know how when you sit in a certain position to long and your leg falls asleep... well when the leg starts to wakeup it feels kinda prickly... weirdish? It's kinda like that. Not only that, the feeling in my nipples are coming back. (Yay!!! I was worried... LOL) Right now it kind of feels like I'm getting ready to start my Pd. I'm just getting over it, so I know it's not that. They're just coming back to life... so to speak.

Diva, You look awesome!!! I haven't been sleeved yet.. but I was telling my co-worker yesterday that I've gone down a cup and band size since I started my supervise WL... I'm gonna start a PPB fund (pretty perky boobs)... so post sleeve I can wear one those little tanks too!! LOL

Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks favoredone! I can't say enough how happy I am that I did this! You would be too, if that is what you choose to do. Nothing at all wrong with wanting too look great. Sure, that did have some things to do with why I had this surgery, though I always say my health was the number one reason, and it really was... but again, I do care how I look!!!

So today is 2 weeks post op. I'm still feeling some soreness, especially in the nipple area. Also the skin around the breast feels kinda prickly, but better than the numbness I suppose I felt for the first week post op. According to the gal who helped remove my stitches last week she said it can take an entire 4 months before I get fully healed and to know how my breasts will end up looking. Great thing though is my swelling is FINALLY starting to subside some and the boobs are starting to feel more bouncy and look more real. It's kinda weird though because when I'm walking I can feel them bouncing around and I'm so NOT USED TO THAT!! LOL!! Not even when my breasts were larger and real. I would harness them really good though, and the Dr.s bra is somewhat "freedom" giving... if that makes any sense at all. Hahaaa!!! I can tell you this, once that 6 weeks is up and I can start wearing any bra I want, I will be harnessing these girls once again. They are very flamboyant... heehee!!

Here's some photos I just took right now. As you can see, the swelling toward the top of the breast has gone down a lot, and they look to be dropping some. Full dropping & fluffing (D&F according to the BA world) takes the whole 3-4 months. Good luck to any ladies planning to do this!! Again... don't regret a darned thing.

You look great!

I had a BA done 5 yrs. ago after I had lost some weight. I was super happy with them for over 2 yrs until my body had an autoimmune reaction to them. I had to have them removed and I do really miss them.

Wow I'm so sorry to hear that! If you don't mind, what were the symptoms... just so I would, or anyone reading this would know what to look out for?

Whooopsss!!! I forgot to mention that I have completely changed my Liposuction Appts. They are now going to be performed in November. It's a really good thing I did some finding out that they had me scheduled with 2 different surgeons... which was a mistake. They don't like to do that, so it's all re-situated and I've already gotten the time off from work. I think I'm only going to work 15 days in the entire month of November, with 2 Holidays and 2 RDO's squeezed in there, plus the 5 days off for recovery time. Yeahh!! I can deal with that!!

My first Liposuction Appt will be on Wednesday November 2nd. They will remove fat from my inner thighs and around my knees.

My second Liposuction Appt will be on Friday November 18th. They will remove fat from my outter thigh (saddle bags) and around my waist.

I can't wait!! I am glad though that it was postponed. I like the idea of healing from the BA first.

I can hardly wait!!! I'm getting work done for aesthetic enhancement, after I get sleeved to preserve my life.. Heck, may as well look good!!! Forget people who don't agree... Misery loves company and people who criticize others often have problems w/ themselves!!!

My BFF is tickled that I'm finally get WLS.... She says "You're a diva and something else now... oh Lord, when you drop 100lbs, I'm going to have to put you under 24 hour surveillance!!!".... HEHEHEHE.. she's probably right...

Take care of yourself!!

I don't think it's that common to have a reaction, my mom has an autoimmune disease so I think it was a genetic thing that I reacted to them. With me, it started with a rash on my left hand that eventually spread all the way up my arm and got really nasty. It took a lot of googling to figure out what was causing it. Once I had them removed the rash went away completely. Autoimmune reactions can vary though, depending on the person.
