5.5 week check up with my PS!
Yesterday (the 19th), I had a follow up appointment with my PS. Everything went wonderfully! I am just too excited to type everything that I don't know where to start. I have ZERO restrictions! He said that I can go back to biking, jogging, swimming, whatever I do, just careful to listen to my body. My swelling is GONE. I have soft, squishy boobs that actually have a natural bounce. AND he measued me saying that I am free to wear whatever bra makes me comfortable. My FNG is healing perfect, my scars are looking great and flattening (thanks to scar massage). Now for the bad news. He said that I need to increase the pressue of my scar massage on the inside of my incisions (like at the cleavage part of the fold) because they are not flattening like the rest. Theyve been sore, so I havent been doing it as firm as the others.. and he said that if I don't, they will stay big and form ugly scar tissue, and his words "who wants ugly scars on perfectly sculpted breasts?" Sigh..... so of course, my husband said "amen," and reminded me 100 times to massage last night. MEN.
Afterwards, my husband took me on a lunch date (he works 60-70 hours a week, boo), then to Victoria's Secret to be measured. UHM.. TWO different women measured me at a 38DD, or even a 40D. W.T.F. DD? She said the D cup in a 38 would be shallow... but the 40D has a little bit of gap on the side. Sure enough, tried on a 38DD and it fits great. I also tried on a 40D from Macy's and it fits great, the 38 was SO SNUG. So little bit of trial and error to see what I will wear at different stores. Needless to say, I bought a super cute lace push up bra. Who is excited for Christmas pictures and button down pajamas this year? THIS GIRL. ;)
Also, PS said that when I massage my scars firmly, they should pop. He told me that 1 week out to be expecting them to pop. I thought he was crazy, my MIL thought he was crazy. He reminded me again to look out for the popping since it hasn't occured yet. Last night, I was rolling over in bed, and when I roll over, I find it more comforting to cup the side of breast as I turn. My right incision on the side of my breast "popped," and it was the craziest feeling ever! It was like I smushed a bubble with my finger! So weird. He told me to massage every day for another month, while they are still pink and in the early stages of healing to make the best result. WEIRD.
As excited as I am to be "released," I am still very mindful of my body. We are still healing, so when I'm tired, I'm still sure to rest.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! Santa has been very good to use this year ;)

4 week post pictures!
A little over 4 weeks post op!
So I am a little over 4 weeks post op... well, actually, I will be 5 weeks on Monday. I am doing very well. I have resumed most daily activities (with limitations of course). I am still wearing my sports bras, for the occasion that I do wear a wireless bra out, but change once I get home. I have started moisturizing with lotion and vitamin E oil more frequently, as I am getting less and less sore each day. My trouble spot is getting better... I think. It quit bleeding, the bottom half of the incision looks great, and then last night I noticed a suture poking out where it had been bleeding. I guess it was trying to push it's way out this whole time. Tonight, as I went to clean it with peroxide, then re-gauze with bacitracin, it fell out.. just a tiny little piece. Strange. I see my PS on Thursday for my monthly check-up thankfully. Doesnt look infected to me or my husband, so I am going to continue to bacitracin and gauze until the little hole is healed up. I had put a bandaid over the spot last night.. took it off this morning to shower, and when I took off the bandaid, it really irritated my skin :/ I will post some pics from my phone now!
Hope everyone is asking for lots of cute and fun bras for Christmas!! I bought a t-shirt bra from Target for $15! I have 3 total real bras.. keeping all tags and receipts on until I'm approved from my PS to move on.

Provider Review
Dr. Thomas is fantastic. He was very professional, yet laid back during my initial consult. His nurse, Dottie, is a big asset to the practice as well. I cannot say enough about how comforting he was about my pre-surg jitters as I was waiting in pre-op. His bedside manner is awesome.. he talked with me and my family like he had known us for years. Last but not least, my surgery was wonderful. His office staff called to check in on me, and my follow up appointments have been spot on and I am receiving the utmost care that I should be.
