BL/BA done wednesday, how much did yours go down?

I just had a bl/ba on Wednesday morning.  Things are great, I was shocked at the pain level (A LOT less than I expected).  I took the vicadin on day 1 and 1/2 of day 2...have had only tylenol since last night.

I am wondering how much yours went down in size.  I know everyone is different, and swelling is different, but I am hoping they go down quite a bit.  The surgeon said with just a lift I would end up a small B, he ended up putting in 270cc's.  When I had triend them before I thought the 300's would be ok.  They seem so big to me right now.  I am crossing my fingers that they go down a lot or I will be bummed.

For those that have had BL/BA, did they stay about the same as a few days out, go down a lot?  At what point will I get an idea of what they might be like...4 days, a week, 3 weeks?

I see him next Thursday---I really just hope they end up much smaller than they are now, I feel like they are as big as they were before I had RNY and was very overweight.

Lisa---I hope each day it gets better and better!  I have 2 year old twins, so I like to think I am a pro with pain LOL...

I wish I could just snap and know what they were going to look like and the size they wuold be...then I would feel better.

i had gel implants which are heavier and they dropped alot especially since my skin had more elasticity from being over weight.  Had implants last April and within 2-3 months they had dropped alot and they stayed that way for awhile but in the last 5 months they have dropped more (actually way more than i wanted).  One side is lower than the other and my ps said he would go in and fix it but not sure when as I just had a tt.  I wanted them to drop after I first had them and then they dropped and I wished that they hadnt.  Believe me they seem way too big now but you will wish they stayed like that after they drop.

im 2 weeks out and my swelling is just now starting to go down. but i had no pain at all, i think cause i had my arms done and a lower body lift,  at the same time and it hurt so bad i didnt notice the boobs hurting.

Mine aren't really hurting either...I just wanna know what they will look like.  I hate picking them apart when I am seriously only 2 days out and I know they will change...just hard not to.  Like I swear one is pointed at a different angle LOL.  We'll see how they are when all the swelling is gone and they are settled.

mine still are kind of strange looking, kind of cone shaped, but the doctor said to keep massaging them and they will start looking normal.

After my BL/BA I was like you...wow what are these and what am I going to do with them? Well Dr S said don't worry they will decrease in size by abut 30% and he was right. It took about 4 weeks for me.
Congratulations! Enjoy.......

Thanks for responding...it makes me feel much better.  I knew about the swelling, I had anticipated it...even told my husband to reassure me everytime I said something about the size or shape...but you still just can't help it. 

I am so impatient...I just wanna know what they will be like now :)
