Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Week 5 PO
Seems so strange that I already this far out!!!!
Life is starting to get back to normal, slowly but surely. I got cleared to start slowly walking the treadmill this week, so I did (YAY!! 1.25 mi/25 min!), though I was fairly sore the next day where my MR was so I didn't do it. I will try again today I think.
My old clothes fit finally!!! And some are too big now. I am now 4# below pre-op weight, though still fairly swollen. I am watching my diet closely though. I want to stay in shape as much as possible because I have plans this summer for a mini tri, 1/2 century and 5k's. :)
My side boob swelling is FINALLLLLLLY down quite a bit. Still a lot of swelling, but it doesn't look nearly as bad or hurt like it did. And....I have side feeling on my actual boob! This is significant because I have not had feeling there in 12 years since the reduction. It's kinda weird...LOL!
And even crazier is the feeling of NOT having the flap! Underwear freaking FIT, and cute ones at that! My jeans are fitting weird though. Instead of mid rise, I NEED low rise to fit me right. Go freaking figure.

4 Weeks PO
Was yesterday...and I forgot. In my defense, my dad had bypass surgery Tuesday so I wasn't really thinking about it.
Nothing really has changed. I am almost fully off meds, I hate wearing crap around my waist. Hate it. I don't want the binder, I don't want spanx. UGH.
My hips and thighs are still swollen. I can get into some of my jeans, but they still rub my sides wrong and I'm still wearing yoga pants.
My boobs are FINALLY starting to not swell! They still hurt at the end of the day though. They are starting to drop a bit more. The left one faster than the right, but I know I had a lot of scar tissue in the right so I'm guessing that's why.
I have a follow up appt on Monday, and I am going to beg to exercise a little and hopefully be able to take a bath. I NEED it. Both help me relax and with the stress I've had...welll....

Day 22 Post OP
Wow...what a day. It wasn't too bad, in a nutshell.
I did laundry, which I've don before today, so no biggie there. the little guy helped me use the broom on the kitchen and dining room floor. OK, great. The first milestone?? I VACUUMED! Yes, I did!
So, let me say first, I was very careful to not overdo it. I've done it twice now, and it's a real [RS bleep] to say the least to recover from. It HURTS.
I couldn't stand the stuff on the floors, the laundry piling up and the floors not being cleaned like I would do, so I did it little by little today. I'd do a load of laundry, then sit. Then I'd sweep the floor and sit. I was careful to pay attention to my body and if I started swelling, I was going to be done for the day. I managed three loads of laundry and vacuumed the living room! WOOHOO!
My next milestone was I felt good enough to let my little guy take a shower with me. I didn't hold him of course (he''s almost 30#) but we managed quite well until my husband came to get him out and get him dressed. WOOT!
My final milestone today was holding the little guy! Again, I didn't pick him up, but I felt ok letting him crawl into my lap and him laying down on me. Oh it was soo sooooo nice to hold him again! I really missed that. I can't wait until I can pick him up.
So it was a good day. I'm tired, a little sore, but nothing more than usual.
Saturday we are going to my twin niece and nephews 4th birthday party. Wish me luck there.

Provider Review
I had three consultations, and Dr. Elluru really stuck out as the one I wanted to go with. He has very good bedside manner, good results and really seems to know what women want. Always easy to get an appointment and the staff is super nice too!
