It's been 14wks since my procedure and I just want to show what my progress is looking like. Since then my boobies have soften and dropped.. No where near where they were before but into a natural shape. I'm feeling pretty good, I started my clean eating again and exercising. Falling to temptation is too easy on vacation but I am strapping it back down.

Barbiiiiii, how is your life these days? I've just found my way back here 4.5yrs post op for a finale to my unfinished review all those years ago. 2013 BR ladies represent!
If you arent too busy i'd love to hear how you feel these days and if you went crazy buying new fab outfits for your tatas.
Hoping to find you well,

Moondie.

I can not believe it's been over two months now

I am sooo sorry I haven't been writing. I feel disconnected from my BR sisters. I have been on vacay, which didnt go so well and now my mom has been staying with me. Between that, being a mama, school and working at events I've had zero time. I have not been exercising like I should which is why I think, I don't feel like I've gotten very far. It's actually detered me from shopping because I gained weight and I feel abnormal, a little. It's been a month since I last saw my PS and he reassurred me that the uneveness will settle, which it has a lot (but not completly). I just still feel big at times. My physical pain only occurs now when I lay on my stomach too long. I am thanking the good lord for my recovery. I am also praying for those who haven't had it so easy. I miss you ladies and I will post pics later tonight. Take care until then.

Barbi, just as an FYI, Tricare would have let you pick your own surgeon. You actually can do that, they just have to be someone who takes Prime. :) I also have Tricare, and am having a reduction on Thursday.

I know, I wound up sticking with him because I liked his work. Although he seems rushed, he actually does care about his patients. I followed his advice and I am doing great and looking pretty good. I think I made a great decision ultimately, good luck with your surgery!

Thank you! I liked my doctor too. I am surprised they look so good two days out. I haven't had any real pain, but I am not looking forward to being in a bra.

Thanks for keeping us updated, your results are BEAUTIFUL and have healed so nicely! I know it can be discouraging to gain a few lbs, but please don't let that get you down. You have one of the best results, and you should enjoy them :) ..go shopping girl!

Thank you. It was long time in the decision but the is no perfect timing for any one. I will go shopping eventually but school shopping for my girl can first. Thank again.

1 Month and feeling pretty good

Hello gals!! I am a complete month and 4 days out from my surgery and I thought I would write to catch up a bit. I must say that I feel better with each passing day. I am a little worried about my left boob because it is a bit larger that my right. I am hoping that it is just swelling and healing slower that the right. Either way I will see my PS next Thursday in order to ease my suspicions. I know it's too early for any revisions but honestly I hope that is my last resort. As per my last post, the scar on my left boob has blended a bit but it's still very noticeable. Also the ropiness along the outside and cleavage is still there but I really couldn't care less. Do you know why? Because overall, my neck shoulders and back have not been hurting. What I do get are the little "zingers" from time to time. They come for a few seconds and ease right away. I have regained much of my upper body strength and been trying to work out with light weights in order to tone. My diet kinda went to the pooper lately but I am going to get back to doing right again. One thing I am religiously doing is rubbing shea butter. I tried an old bathing suit that I had on and it looked so awkward (the cup was way to big).. I guess it's time to go shopping!! I will post pictures after I see the doc next week.

Til then good luck to those who haven't had it done yet and happy healing to those who have.

Hey hun, it is amazing. I still have my big boobie tendencies and I don't like to go a long time w/o a bra, but I am happy.
