Thanks everyone for your kind words and thoughs. I am in alot of pain and I must admit more painful that I was expecting. I was given a 650 cc fill as the doc said he wanted my skin to fill out and not have a saggy look. I told him before surgery fill them up so they will have round and perky look not the fat saggy booby look. I showed him pics and he did just that. I told him after all u have done 1000 of BA u r the expert and I told him I trust your judgement. To be honest they do not look that big as when i tired them on  So I think the 650cc will look great after the swelling goes down, I was not told to pack them in ice and hubby forgot to tell me that I need to pack them in ice to reduce the swelling well it was almost 24 hours before he put ice on me by then i was so swollen. I went into surgery weighing in at 163 and came out 3 hours later  weighing 171 So I know darn well it was not from me eating and just post swelling. I have dropped back down to 169 I think with implants I will  end up being up to 165 I think the girls weight  btwn 3 to 4 lbs combined weight. I am living off pain meds and muscles relaxants I do feel swollen all over ugh
I wish the pain and swelling will go down very soon. Before and after pics are up
Thanks everyone

I went to the doc yesterday.  that morning i had finally had a breakthrough so to speak.  she said that i literally radiated axiety and she thought the majority of the problem was from tath.  she recommended probiotics with every meal and told me to call asap if i felt like i was having a problem again.  she's kind of new age and told me that i needed to try to get a massage.  i wish she could have written a prescription for that.

Thanks for the support.

I can't believe I totally forgot to post on my two year anniversary.  It is amazing that two years are gone.  Wow!    It just seems like yesterday I weighed 292 pounds.  Now at at 159 it just doesn't seem real.  What a journey.  I will never go back to that weight again.  I am so happy with how I look now.  I have a before and after picture on my refrigerator to remind me to be vigilant when I open that fridge door.   And it is true people treat you so much different when you are thin opposed to being obese.  At my two year check-up everything was just as I expected.  And they told me I was just where I should be.  I will never regret having this surgery.  Thanks to all my friends here for your support.  Jan

i have an appt with my doctor this afternoon.  still no go.  i've been trying not to eat because when i do it's almost feels like the food backs up and gives me heartburn but its food not acid.
thanks for the concern.
i'll let you know what she says.
