BL/BA scheduled for 1/24
I asked my surgeon all the pertinent questions - he also did my TT last winter so I'm comfy with him. I asked about drains - he said sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't - all depends, and I won't know until I wake up - pray I don't have to have them!! The implants will be under the muscle too.
I was wondering what your recovery was like? My TT was pretty tough for me, both emotionally and physically, but going into the BL/BA I'm a lot better emotionally, because I know a lot more about what to expect.
I'm taking 3 weeks off from work, basically because I can. My surgeon is 4 hours away and going back/forth with the Dr's appts etc will be tiring. I'll be staying with my daughter for the first 2 days, then my BF will bring me back home.
Just wondering what to expect pain wise. How long before you could shower? He said my lifting restrictions would be 15 lbs - did you find lifting after the BL/BA hard to do? How about lifting your arms over your head?
Any other info is greatly appreciated - just trying to get some ideas beforehand of what to expect.
Thanks!

I had mine done w/ my MTL. I felt no pain from my breasts at all. Not sure if that's because my thighs hurt so much. I was back to work after 10 days and probably could have gone sooner if it was just my breasts. Good for you taking off that long. If you can do it why not. I didn't have any issues w/ lifting anything or raising my arms over my head. I was able to shower the next day. Really for me the breasts were the easiest part out of all my surgeries.
Good luck, you'll love the results.

Glad to hear about the showering and arm lifting - I'm sure he'll send me home with a list of do's/don'ts and I just wasn't sure of what to expect!
I've read on here about the "zingers" - not looking forward to them, but its all part of the process and I won't be terribly surprised when it happens.
I'm getting excited!
