Hi All...I have read quite a few postings. I am currently a 34DD at 5'5" and 120 lbs. I have a lot of back and neck pain and of course the usual strap marks. I am heavily considering SBR and have sent my request for a consultation with Dr. Baxt. I was wondering about how long some of you were out of work? I work in the schools as a therapist, so I am very active with the children, so back and neck pain don't really help my treatments. I was hoping to possibly have the procedure done over the summer and was also wondering how bad is the bruising...will I not want to go to the beach, go swimming, etc.? Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I am responding too late, but I had the procedure on a Thursday and was back at work on Monday. The healing process took several months, but I was ok to go back to work at that point.

I as pretty badly bruised, but it was localized to the breast area. As long as you are wearing a bathing suit I don't think it would show. I went to a water park about 2 weeks post-op and it was fine.
