Well my sweliing is done. I am liking my size and shape. I have NO pain and I am doing very well besides my trouble spots. My T-Junctions have opened more and the other day I was soing a tape change and took of a layer of skin with it. So I now have a new wound;(. Nothing hurts, it is just difficult to look at. I thought I would be active and wearing regular bras by now. I am tryin to take it easy and hoping this allows my wounds to heal faster. Any of you other ladies had this problem? My PS said this is expected at 4-6 weeks, just a tad frustrated as I though things were only gonna get better....

I am 4 weeks post op. I am feeling great. There is very little that I can't do. I am almost back to being completely normal. I am anxiously waiting to be cleared for real bras and excercise so I can work on this belly. My T-junctions are opening a little bit, and this is expected at 4 to 6 weeks per my PS, but overall I am healing very well. I re-tape my incisions every 5 days, and keep gauze on the T-junctions that I change daily. My PS says I am still a little swollen, they feel alot bigger now than they were after surgery. Only time will tell what my final size will be. Still almost no pain, however if I overdo it at work I seem to swell and get sore. but all in all I am loving the size and so on. Hope everyone is doing well!

2 Weeks down!! I am healing very well. I took some tape off the other day...OUCH!! I think that hurt more than the surgery!! I can see why my PS said to do it while in the shower!
Went back to work on day 11 Post-op. It was really hard, maybe shoulda taken a couple more days off. But I made it through the day. I have been slowly getting my strength and energy back. Every day is getting easier. I am no longer walking like a 100 year old. Pain is pretty non existent, though I am quite sore. I have no nipple sensation at all. I think I am going to be fine with this because prior to surgery my nipples were SOO sensitive I couldnt stand it. I usually wouldnt let my fiance touch them. But my PS thinks wiith time it will come back..so we will see.
Been a little emotional this past weeek(Maybe time of the month??)...Been having some minor thoughts of regret. Been trying on some clothes and still struggling with my stomach sticking out ;(. I need to work on that. My breasts are still pretty big, I am not sure if it is because they are still swollen? Anyone else having some post op emotional issues?
Well hope you all are healing well!!!
