March 13 - I was very sick for the past few weeks with a flu type virus that ended with bronchitis and sinus infection. I am feeling better. I went for my 3 mos. check up this past Monday. My implants are very high and I am exercising and massaging my breast every day. With all the coughing, my incisions are sensitive. I am using panti-liners attached to my underwear and it helps. In addition, I have used scar guard, cocoa butter, vitamin E and Bacitracin on one side that was raw. It is better and the incisions look good. I have to post new pics to share with all of you. I am happy with my surgeries and waiting to see the final results.

February 23rd - It is almost three months and getting better. I just return from a two weeks Puerto Rico vacation. The plane ride was painful and got very swollen for a couple of days on the way there and the return. The weather was ideal, breezy, warm and cool at night. My implants still high and can't wait for them to come down. My breast still look kind of weird. I am very happy with the surgeries and feel great about it. The pain, the swelling and the scars are worth it.

January 22,2011 - Six weeks after surgery and feeling pains again since last Wednesday. Perhaps, I was doing too much too soon since I felt so good. Time to slow down again. Wednesday night I couldn't sleep since I felt a lot of gas movement and I felt my abdomen turn hard as a rock. It was so uncomfortable that it kept me up all night. The PS checked me on Thursday and everything is healing nicely. I have to keep up with the breast exercises since my implants are very high. He mentioned that I had a lot of procedures done at one time and I am not even two months yet. Swelling and pain are part of the healing process. Since I was feeling so great, I went and booked my vacation for February 6. I am praying all the pain is happening within the next couple of weeks and to be pain free for my 2 weeks vacation.

Babyblues,

I went on vacation from 2/4-2/20 to see my mom. I was very swollen and in pain during the plane ride. I am using panti liners to avoid getting the incision irritated since still so sensitive. I am using scar guard, vitamin E, cocoa butter, hydrocortisone cream and bacitracin on my incisions, too. When I return, I got sick with a bad virus for two weeks, with bronchitis and bad sinus infection. I went for my 3 months appointment and it went well. My implants are high and can't get them to drop with the massages. I was told that it can take a year. My belly still swollen. You look amazing and so beautiful. How are you feeling?
