Well, let me tell ya that it was exactly how I expected. Today is my third day postop. I feel okay just drugged and the prescriptions make me nautiaus. Okay let me tell you how I experienced it all just incase newbees want to know.
I had a pretty fast experience with wanting to make an appt and getting one asap. I had my BA on the 14th of March. Day after my 32 Birthday. Preop was pretty fast. They talked about what to expect and we talked about size for a long time. I was worried that I would end up HUGE! I had nightmares and was so scared. I have to be honest I was scared of the pain. Anyway, my husband took care of the details. I arrived at my appt. at 11:00 and waited a little. I read a book but could not concentrate. They took me back and weighed me and I urinated in a cup. I was handed the robe and stocking, white ones that were like tights. They were to cover my entire leg for circulation purposes. They were tight but warm when they were on. I kept my panties on and let me tell you was glad. I told the nurse I was on my menstral cycle as well. So, I felt kinda emotional. I talked to them about my medical history and they put the IV in at the same time. Pretty fast. My doctor came in and for some reason wanted to discuss size again. Not sure why but I get the picture that he was wanting for me to go bigger. I asked him how exact he can get in size and he said he was pretty sure he could get what I wanted. I told him no bigger than a 32C. So, he drew on my body and I got real nervous as they laid the warm blankets on my legs. I looked down to say goodbye to my flat old boobs. And noticed the pen marks on my nipples. "Oh, my GOD!" I thought. I was upset because I wanted my insicion to be under the arm! So, I asked him to come in and told him what I wanted. He claimed it was too late now and that he had prepared for it to be in the aeriolas. I was so upset and angry to know that I almost would of waken up w/out even realizing I had stitches on my nipples! So, I cried. I tried to hold it in and I could not. I was so nervous and upset and it just made me cry. The older nurse looked at me and asked if I was okay. I told her I was just a little scared. Anyway, they had the big pictures set up for references in the OR and the anestiecialolgist did not even warn me. He put the cocktail in my IV and I recall saying something about feeling like a truck hit me? and It was over....
I awakened four hours later and was dazed and asked the nurse about nurseing school. I have no idea why. I could hear myself talking and sounded so loopy and drunk it was funny. She probably sees this everyday so it was not big deal. I felt that the other nurse was rushing me and could feel her pulling my pants up quickly and talking fast. I was set on a hospital recliner and did not feel a thing. I don't even remember getting into the car. I recall grasping my boobs and smiling. Then I feel to sleep.

Day two: sucked! OUCH! I had the beast pain pumps which are cathedars that put medicine directly into your breast tissue. It did it automatically and I was glad. I took my pain meds and did not have an appetitite but, felt very sore. I slept most this day. My husband watched the kids.

Day three: WORST day! Back, Neck, RIB cage is so sore. I feel like crap. The night before I vomitted every hour it seemed. Nothing was in my stomach so it made it worse. I finally got to sleep at around 4 a.m. It was horrible because I could feel these alien bumps on my chest and an ache in my stomach and could not sit comfotably. I slept for hours that morning and my husband brought me breakfast. I ate only a little. I felt horrible. This was by far the worse day!

Day three: I woke sore as before and took my meds. They seem to give me a stomach ache so I try to eat something when I take them. My breast did are HUGE and swollen and square as in the pics most of us have seen. I did not get to shower till today when I had my post op appt. I went to my appt and the nurse took the pain pump things out. OUCH! I almost cried...My breast were let out and it felt horrible. I have HUGE brusing and I am very sore. She told me to take my meds and offered to fill another prescription which I should of taken but did not. I want to tough it out. Anyway, I took my first shower with the help of my husband who keeps trying to crack jokes. I told him he is so mean because he knows it hurts to laugh. I am still scared that my breast may be bigger than what I wanted. I felt real emotional today and cried a little. Thinking my goodness why did I do this? I was upset but I also know that it is normal. I can't wait to feel normal again and have this pain go away. I want to make it clear to all the new people that have not gotten the BA done...it does hurt and everyone is different. But, we all heal differently and for me it did hurt and hurts right now. I feel like I have big grapefruite on my chest. I am bloated and took the softners and so far no luck. Other than that I am counting down for the day I can see my boobs looking beautiful! best of luck to all. Sorry, not very interesting I am on my meds right now! Thanks to the forum for good information! I can't find a spell check on this right now so very sorry!!

Thanks for sharing your story with us... And Welcome to boobieville!

I know you'll hear this several times, but it will get better. The first few days are the worst for most people. Now that you can take a nice warm shower, you'll start to feel those muscles relax. The showers, for me, were the best medication. It helped me more than the muscle relaxers.

Congrats again... sorry that you aren't feeling well right now, but the end result will be worth it... What did he end up giving you... Remember they are very swollen right now, but will shrink, so don't be too overwhelmed with the size just yet.

pam · 03-17-2007, 11:05 PM

Congratulations on your ba! Sorry, you are not feeling well, but be patient, it'll be veeeeeeery worth it!.

Skipper · 03-17-2007, 11:27 PM

You're story is very interesting to us so share away!!! All of the things - pain, emotions, that you are feeling are NORMAL so don't sweat it. You will be happy I bet in no time. Hang in there honey!!!!

elizabethmc · 03-18-2007, 12:30 AM

That you didn't get the incision you wanted! I hope it all turns out for the best. I hope you feel better soon sweetie, tell your hubby to put a sock in it and quit trying to make you laugh. And if you need your meds, for heaven's sake take them, feeling pain will not make you heal faster! It will just make you miserable! You will probably feel better after the first week, hang in there, you will probably "pass" poop around day 5, try to relax and not worry, those boobs will be beautiful you just have to give it time. Sending you soft, gentle (((Hugs))) and lots of tlc.....

Bethmomof6 · 03-18-2007, 12:39 AM

It sounds like the whole thing was a bit of a rush! Did you not stay the night in hospital?

Best wishes

mom1st · 03-18-2007, 10:52 AM

I know exactly what you mean. I'm 6 days out and the last 2 nights have been my worst. However, I can say the days are getting better its when you lay down for an extended time you get stiff and sore. I go back to work on thursday night shift 12 hours I'm so hoping I can make it. Take it easy and try to stay positive the worst will end.

Peachesp313 · 03-18-2007, 11:02 AM

YAY! You have boobs!!
Everything you described sounds just like me, lol!
Don't worry girl, it gets better...PROMISE!
Rest rest rest!

SnowBunny · 03-18-2007, 12:58 PM

CONGRATULATIONS on your new boobies

I'm sorry you are feeling sore and stiff

But I'm sure that you will feel much better very soon, just try to think positive and remember why you went for a BA to help you through.

M&M · 03-19-2007, 03:33 AM

Oh honey! I hate it that you were throwing up. That must've been so painful. If you go back to PS soon, ask for Mepergen. It's the pain med my PS gave to me and it has some anti nausea stuff in it. It's awesome for the pain and no nausea

It does make you loopy though, but who cares? You got Big Beautiful Boobies!! BTW, you're cracking me up with not being able to find the spell check.

T-Baby · 03-19-2007, 11:25 AM

I'm sorry to hear that you weren't feeling well. I hope that your recovery is getting much better each day. Congrats on your new "additions".

vegashotgirl · 03-19-2007, 01:46 PM

I wanted to thank everyone! I felt so much better after reading this!! I have to say that the pain is getting better.. I think the hardness or tightness on the muscle is worse! Especially in the morning. I finally went to the bathroom YAY! like everyone wants to know that! I weighed myself and I am 5 lbs heavier! But, I still look bloated so I think its the meds. I finally started taking them since I figured that is what they are for? I just thought that was why I felt sick and it is.. So, I eat then take them. My kids were going nuts while I was taking a nap yesterday. I don't think my husband was being very kind. He seems to stress w/the kids. So, then they simply act stressed and all crazy! The house is kinda messy. And I know I can't clean it so I will just leave it alone. The shower works well..nice and hot! I am reading on this forum trying to find out why I don't have a strap...Not that I want one because it sounds like it hurts! Anyway, When can I sleep normally again? Also, how long does it take for the muscle to relax and the implant to drop in place. Today I hurt a gush sound when I lifted my arm. Honestly, my freakin back hurts the most! I feel like an old lady! Anyway, I am still freaking out about the size...I made sure I told him I did not want a D cup and I have no idea what they put in??? Yes, it sounds rushed and it kinda was. Oh, well but they are here and they are hopefully soon going to be part of me. They feel foreign right now and heavy. I feel like I have engorgement. And i am getting itchy. The strange part is how they feel numb and not a part of me to the touch. Also, I feel the stinging electric like shocks in them. It does not hurt much but the sensation is strange. I feel good today overall. Just praying for them to go down so that I dont look so damn strange in clothes. Oh, my dear husband left me on Sat. As I started to feel good to go to a bar. NICE...needless to say, I told him, "kick me while I'm down why don't cha?" Its like he thinks its no big deal. Although he is doing his best at being helpful he is completely emotionaly not there for me right now. OH, my brusing is REALLY HORRIBLE!! Did anyone else have this? And my nipples are sensitive but I have feeling. Sorry, for the rambling on and on. Its just nice to let it all out!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT!!!!

I was feeling sad yesterday like I made a huge mistake. I kinda cried a little but did not want my husband to see. One of those days that I miss my mommy!!
