I haven\'t had a stomach issue with it luckily. It\'s hard to describe what it feels like.  I can just say that it feels like the implant is partially stuck to the skin from the incision downward.  It\'s probably some scar tissue or something.  I am going to call the PS on Monday. :)  

Thanks!
Hugs,

Girl-you and I are too much alike!!! :)  Mine look the same, but it\'s the left that is bugging me.  My left has more roundness on top too like yours.  I keep pushing it down and moving it around.  I am on Pento...(something-I can never spell it) it is supposed to soften the capsule if I am getting one.  I am also taking Vit E.  800 2x a day.  And I am seeing a very slight difference since last week-so I am hopeful.  Honestly-I think you look AMAZING!!!!!---

I am glad to hear the Pento... is working!  I still need to call my PS about mine.  I just thought maybe I was making a mountain out of a molehill.  hmmm... excuse the pun! ;-)

Thanks for thinking I look amazing! *blush*  I think you look pretty amazing too! :)After all your pics were my inspiration! :)

The larger implant tends to take more time to drop and settle. It does still seem to be set a bit higher which maybe the reason it feels firmer.

The 36DD cup is a bit larger on you and will give your breasts room to breath but I would rather see you in a 34 band and a larger stretchyDDD to allow for firm under support and let your breasts be able to bounce a bit.

Pushing up with your one breast needing to drop may also add to it being more sore.---

The implant does go up fine...it\'s only the bottom I have issue with.  That is where it hurts too. Thanks for the massage link...I will keep doing it and I need to get in gear with the vit E.  I am terrible about taking vitamins and meds...I need to get it tattooed to my forehead as a reminder!


Thanks!!

Jen - try the Felina Harlow, in a 34DDD - it is very generous and will give you a lot of support around the ribcage.

It\'s a demi bra - so it is cute, not grandmotherly looking!  :)  You can get them at Nordstroms, Saks, or online at barenecessities.com - or figleaves.com

You could very well have scar tissue built up inthe lower part of the pocket, you need to watch this. If you are having difficulty with making the one implant move down - then ask your PS if you could use the strap.  It might help you with pusing the implant down where it needs to be.  You say it is firmer - how much firmer?  Can you move it freely in the pocket without any resistance?  Do you have any kind of pain in the breast, and if you do, what does it feel like?

Sorry for all the questions I just want to see if you might have CC occuring.  :)---

You will rarely find a 34DDD in a local store. I find them in Macy\'s on occasion but refuse to spend $40 dollars for a felina in the store when I can buy on line. Bali does also occasionally have them too at macy\'s.

But honestly I gave up ages ago looking in the stores it just isn\'t the right place to find things for the larger breasted woman---

Thanks Paulette!  I am starting with my Vitamin E.  I bought a big bottle of 1000 IU\'s or Mg\'s whatever they measure Vita E  in because I wasn\'t sure how much to take.  do you take the 800\'s twice a day like Vikki does?  I am only taking the 1000 once so far.  I didn\'t receive any PS recommendation on vit E.  I am massaging it too.  It doesn\'t seem to have any restriction going up.  It just feels like it is stuck on the bottom part of the implant...like that part is all tight and flatter feeling.


Hugs,
Jen---

Thanks Bailey,

What I was thinking is that it is scar tissue formed down in the bottom of the pocket like you mentioned.  That side was the deflated side and the on call PS said it was something that could happen.  I also think that I already had some issue on that side before the deflation, but that is now in hindsight.  (I didn\'t have all this info from this lovely forum back then)

I will call the PS and schedule an appt with him.

Thanks again sweetie!!
Hugs,
Jen

We all do but that is the way it is for us here in the states. Most stores just don\'t carry our size.---
