Doing Something for Myself! - Minnesota

Hi Piggles, just had to chuckle about your pre-op bra purchase. I bought bras before my surgery too, when they came in the mail I looked at them and said "yeah, right" like those will EVER fit. But they DO! and I felt soo guilty because I thought "wasted money if they don't fit" (I wouldnt return them) I also purchased a tankini with built in shelf bra (juniors department at walmart) I only spent 5 bucks on that one, and it also fits, in fact I went back to walmart and bought 3 more colors and it is all I have been wearing now around the house and yard (not in public) soo the moral of the story is: you will one day wear the normal bras..believe it:)

Hi westcoast, yeah, I think it is a common problem (so much pressure on an incision) but I want to feel relief instead of worry...let us know what your ps's nurse says...

"chubby chick with knee boobs" LOL! too funny. I agree, I have not "bonded" either but I love the relief from pain of large breasts. I think for me anyway, I will feel much better once I have NO pain, or irritation or discomfort. I do not consider myself a baby about pain but I have had a long recovery. I know it could be worse, but I have days where I feel very down trodden. I do know it will get better and am waiting for that also, I feel sooooo FAT! I cant workout, my dr said "brisk walking" whatever....I will just wait till I have full clearance to workout. Anyway sammys, I know you will feel better in time, when it is all good. Hang in there:)

Hi Deka, welcome, you will get so much comfort from this site! It seems you have surfed enough you should be feeling confident (for today lol) I just wanted to mention, I had gallbladder surgery about 4 or 5 years ago and had trouble with the anesthesia and when I mentioned this to the anesthesiologist at my BR he said it was different, I think he explaine how but i was too nervous to pay attention. Anyway, he was right, I woke up much easier, a little sleepy but nothing like the gallbladder surgery.. hope this helps:)

Oh, my Gosh, Piggles I just had to comment on this one, yeah people kept saying that to me too...are you sure? NO, I am not sure, I just thought I would have a doctor filet my breasts just for the heck of it. or how about this one "you will miss your boobs" yeah, I miss the backaches, the sore neck, bras that don't fit, hurt are costly and ugly...I really miss being extra hot on summer days because of my breasts....boy I hear ya on this one:)
