Surgery was Friday 6/12. I'm 57 and was around a 38H/I before. I was always embarrassed at bra fittings and the bras in my size were always so utilitarian so I just bought sports bars that let me breathe. I don't know what size I am now. Dr said she would probably take 700 grams from each breast. I'll find out at my post op. I had lost 60 pounds last year but almost none of that from my breasts.

The whole surgery team was great. My Dr was calm and professional. The nurse anesthesiologist gave me something to relax me just before we went in to the OR. I remember being wheeled in to the OR and then someone asking if my arms were comfortable and then I was waking up in a chair 3 hours later.

Recovery has been really easy so far. I had some oxycodone but stopped taking it after 3 doses because it only made me sleepy. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are enough for the pain, which has never gotten over a 3/10. I've been slowly walking around the neighborhood. My heart rate is supposed to stay under 100. The most discomfort had been from the compression bra but it is mainly annoying.

My chronic low back pain disappeared immediately. I have lived with the pain for 3 decades and now it's just gone. It's unbelievable!

I'm so so happy. I think they look great, even with the bruising and incisions. I'm so looking forward to my new life.
