WORTH IT
8 weeks post op and I feel amazing. I saw my surgeon and she said everything was good to go and I was able to go back to working out and doing whatever I Want. I am so impressed with my results. I do have scars underneath and along the sides but if I was worried about scars I would have never had the surgery. I can say I never had any major issues and I am so thankful for that.

So I am over 7 weeks post op and I am still absolutely in love with the results. I feel lighter I feel more confident and I don't regret this for one second. I did have what appeared to be a blister on my left nipple but it wasn't a blister. Which I know that doesn't make sense. It was more so on the incision line of the nipple and it never hurt or irritated me and all of a sudden the skin came off. But again not painful just a little blood and it healed just fine. I have not went for my official I am healed resume normal activity. I actually don't go back until 1/30 which will be at 8 weeks. I will post before and after pictures as soon as I figure out. I hope everyone is having success with their surgeries.

Glad to hear you're doing so well. As for scars my PS recommends taping them for 3 months to reduce scarring.

Dear Virgo82,
I am scheduled for surgery on February 21 with Dr. Wray and I was so happy to hear that you have had good results! I live in Lynchburg, but wasn't comfortable with the doctor I saw here, so I decided to go out of town and I found Dr. Wray. I have only had one appointment with her, but am scheduled for preop appointment in about two weeks. I know you are relieved to have the surgery behind you, your picture looks great! I have been hung up about the sports bra. How did you know what size to buy and did you buy it before or after the surgery?

Clm123 your going to love Dr.Wray she is amazing. I only had 2 appointments the consultation appointment and the pre op appointment. The surgery had me nervous but it went well. She made me stay overnight and it was ok they took great care of me. The sports bra was the best thing that ever happened. One because I think the fact I could wear one again lol. But I waited til after my surgery to purchase one. I actually went to Dicks sporting goods right before my follow up and got one. I ended up getting a under armour one and I based the size on what my band size was. It was difficult at first cause it was tight but it supported me well. She will tell you to get the zip front which I had difficulty finding a variety. I did find some at Wal-Mart but they weren't very supportive. I also got a few from Sears too. I will be honest I hate wearing a regular bra now lol. I feel more comfortable in my sport bras but I know all that means is that I have to get used to a regular bra again. I wish you the best of luck and feel free to contact me anytime.

So I am 5 weeks and a few days post op and can say its been a smooth ride the last few weeks. Even though I wasn't supposed to I went and worked our today. I only did cardio and it felt so good to work out. I definitely felt lighter and not ashamed to work out. The only problem I have been having is the vitamin E oil made my skin rash out around the scars but I started using shea butter and that all went away. I still have some itching but not around my incisions feel more so internally. Hope everyone is well. Happy 2013!!
