LOVE/HATE Relationship with the #38! Hello and Goodbye! - New Jersey

Oh yeah....did I mention the itching?? I have been popping Benadryl like M&M's!!! Ughhhhh.....

SIX weeks FOUR days.....

So my boobs look really good and I feel really good overall, with little issue. I still had the small opening on the right nipple area and continued to put neosporin on it daily. As of about 2 days ago, its closed but still a little discolored.

As far as the scars, overall I'm really pleased with the scars. I hadn't put anything on the scars prior to this week b/c I still had the small openings, but since they were closed, I'm was ready to start that part of the journey.

So I started applying the Scar cream and had a complete allergic reaction. My entire chest was covered with hives. Sooooooo now I'm going to purchase a different brand and see how that works.

I'm back to work and I got a few "oh you look like you lost a few pounds" I did-Thanks!!

This was a GREAT decision and I'm SO glad I did it!!!!!

Okkkayyy. So its been five weeks and 2 day since my surgery and I am happy with my results so far. Very happy.
At my 2nd post op about a week and a half ago things went fairly well overall. PS is happy with my results. There were minor issues.
My right nipple hadn't been healing as fast as the left one. Turns out there was a pocket of fluid behind one of the stitches that didn't seem to want to dissolve. PS removed the stitch and whoa....tons of fluid ran out. TONS!!!!!! He even said whoa to that!
My left nipple also had a stitch that seems as if it didn't want to dissolve, PS removed that.
So I left his office with a small opening under the left that had been slow to heal and a larger one under the right where the fluid was that was very slow to heal.
As of today, the left opening has completely closed and the right one although there is still an opening, it is smaller daily and seems to be well on its way to completely closing.
Pain level is pretty much gone. Have had a few time where I had a busy day and felt sore, but nothing major. The biggest pain remains the area that was lip'd in the armpit area.
Tomorrow is my first day back at work. NOT looking forward to it AT ALL!! Have gotten completely lazy watching foolishness on tv and enjoying the sunshine!! I wonder if anyone at my job will say anything. They have no idea about the surgery! We shall see.
I saw 2 girlfriends at a gathering yesterday. They are more like friends of friends and I only see them maybe twice a year. Neither know or said a word. Could be the wine that made them not notice. HAHA
Hope all you ladies area doing well!
