Boob, Jugs, Fun bags, Chesticles - Call them what you want...

So along with all the work by Dr. Obaid to my tummy area, I also opted to give my rack a fresh new look. Prior to the surgery I had 510cc saline implants (June 2004) and really liked them. That is until I was fitted with these bad boys:



I could not be happier with them. They are 550cc silicone implants -high profile shape. I love that I can get the fullness at the top that I wanted without having such a wide width implant at the bottom.

Up until last night I have not had one single complication. After my shower last night I did happen to notice that a small part of my incision under my right breast was a bit opened up. I contacted Tiffany at Dr. Obaid's office via email at 6am this morning and at 7 am she replied back to me that I needed to come in around 10 to have a look at it. I got there and they decided it should be stitched back up to prevent any further tearing and to make sure it healed with as little scarring as possible. So 2 shots of lidocaine in the boob and 10 stitches later, I was all fixed up. Some ointment a couple times a day and then stitches come out next Wednesday.

I love that they are so quick to respond to my concerns and always take care of me like I am the only patient they have.

I did start back to the gym on Wednesday morning (20 days post op) and I did 10 minutes of slow walking on the treadmill and 12 minutes pedaling on the stationery bike. I did it again this morning and feel pretty good.

I have not tried to take any measurements of my waist or hips to compare with prior to surgery. I am still a bit to swollen to see any results in the measurement. I have however hopped on the scale. So far I am weighing 10lbs less than pre-op. Now I am sure that is a bit of what was removed from my body but also I bet some is lost muscle mass. That is not great but I am on the road to pumping iron soon, so I am not too bummed about it.

Check back next week for an update and more pics of the progress.

You look great! What a hot mama!!! I have 4 kiddos...nursed all of them...need I say more. My boobs suck right now and I would LOVE to have them fixed! Is it worth the pain and money??? I also have separated abdominals from carrying HUGE babies and a hirniated (sp??) belly button. I workout ALL THE TIME: p90x, half-marathon training...shouldn't I be smokin hot??? Nope...babies wrecked my mid section. I just want to know if you (and hubby) felt it was worth money, time, pain. ANy info would be great!! Thanks a bunch!
