BA question???

I am having my BA done next week Wed the 16th. My doctor told me I can go back to work when I feel good enough to. I told him I want to go back to work on Monday. When I did my RNY I was out 1 week. For my panni removal done last month I was out for 1 week. I was think for this that 5 days would be good enough. Did anyone else do the same???

Thanks Asia

It depends if you get them over or under the muscle. If they were under, I would say you'll be sore, but it would be doable. If you went to work one week after RNY, the BA would be a breeze.

Thanks Kat!!! I can't wait to be smokin like you. I sometimes wish I did the full TT but if I did I couldn't do the boobs. I just have to deal with it. Thanks Kat for all your support.

Aloha,
Asia

BTW when can you go back to instructing?

Yeah right Asia! You are the poster girl for perfect bod! After you get your boobs back you'll be unstoppable!! You look great with the panni! I had a double bubble- my fat was attached around my waist and the panni wouldn't have done it for me. How are you healing?

My instructor thinks I"m going to back to teaching the first week of January, but she doesn't know why I was out, and that would be a miracle. My doc says 6 weeks before exercise. I was a little less than three weeks and tried fast walking on an incline on the treadmill and I was in a world of hurt for two days.

My healing is great. I am nice and tight on the bottom (inner thighs and private area looks great). From the belly button and up it is nice and flabby. I should just stand up all day and it would be great.

Kat we came a long way. There is no one I rather go through this journey with. Thanks.

Aloha,
Asia

I thought it sounded like a lot. I am going to double check when I go back. I told them just to fill up the skin. I was a DDD before surgery. I don't want to be that big again.

Yeah Asia, 500 sounds like a lot, but it depends if they put it under the muscle, and what kind of implant you get. I got 350 ccs and I am a C. I was supposed to get 300s, but the doc used his discretion and upped me to 350 while I was on the table and that worked out well. (I'm still swollen in my photos).

If they put yours under the muscle, that will probably take at least 50 ccs of your size. Also, if they use low profile, tear drop shaped, you'll have more dispersed than mine, which are high profile. It also depends how much tissue you have left. I had about 150ccs. I know you had really big boobs and probably have a lot of skin, but I can't imagine you wouldn't have some tissue left. Your doc may be totally right, but you may want to show him pictures of what you think looks good, and make sure you actually put sizers on under your shirt.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll be HOT!

Mine will be under the muscle. I am only doing a BA so no lift. Maybe that is why. He told me that it will look like a tear drop. When I go in next week Wed for surgery I will talk to him one more time.

Thanks,
ASia
