6weeks post op:)

Hey Betty you look so wonderful. Glad you are feeling good....and I slept without my binder last night for 1 st time and I think I'm ready to be done with that thing. It's so freeing isn't it:)

Hi betty! Thank you so much! I know we are our own worst critics, but Its just taken me a little longer than others to feel great about my results! Im coming around hahaha I've been following your journey and it sounds like you are having a pretty decent recovery, I'm so glad to read that:)!
As far as pain....I never really had any pain...more like discomfort. Like I did a really hard chest workout....I have heard other say that they do have more shooting pains, and it sounds like that would be from nerves reconnecting, I think. I still get some discomfort now when my kids lean on me, or if someone hugs me too tight. I'm a hugger and the girls at work didn't know I got this done and my 1 st day back one of the girls came and squeezed me so tight....I wanted to scream but I just did inside LOL too funny....anyway I hope that gets better....I'd say it will most likely be short lived. Is it shooting pains or consistent pain? All over or in one area? As far as my garment....my PS said I could stop wearing them all at 4&1/2 weeks so I started by just 1/2 day without and then the next day a few hours more and by the 3 rd day I went without all day! It was weird, and the 1 st day I was more sore by the end of the day, but only the 1 st day....I do it at night more for my metal state and its more comfortable to move around from back to side during night with it on....or at least I assume cuz I haven't tried it without yet hahaha I have heard different things about the garments, but I figured I'd just trust my PS and see how I felt...I don't swell any more or less without it and I like feeling more normal without it. How are you feeling? How is your swelling?

Hey sister....just a question...I went shopping yesterday and was trying on clothes and I do still feel I have rolls when I sit..pyou said you had a similar feeling. Do you think it's swelling for you? I can't tell, I'm sure alot of it for me is not working out yet, but I really expected to love everything I tried on and that wasn't the case:( feeling a little bummed. Anyway just thought I'd check in and see how you were and what your extra skin problem was about? Thanks and hope you are well:)

Hey Jess! Just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? Haven't heard any updates lately....hopefully you are feeling great and loving your new bod;)

Sister- I feel like I could have written your update....I'm only at 4 weeks now but I've been in a funk also. I was crying to my mom about the skin or rolls I still have and my BB has a droopy flap of skin on top! Still trying to be patient, but I'm sorry you aren't feeling 100%:( I sure hope you and hubby can make it work to get away, I'm sure that would help also! You do look wonderful but I know how you feel.....maybe try to look back at old pics ...that's what I try to do....even though I still get bummed at my results I sure wouldn't want to go back to pre surgery body! Hugs!
