  • Posted to Kapilani: The oranges are on their way out! on 22 Apr 2013

    Hi Ana. Yes, I'm teaching summer school, and I scheduled it for the Monday immediately following the last day of instruction. I thought the tummy was doing fine, but my doc said that he's going to "fix the scar" at the same time as the breast revision, so I guess the tummy was not doing as well as I thought. I thought in time everything would have deflated and fallen into place. It's still lumpy and angry, though. If he's willing to hasten the process, I'm not going to protest. As you can imagine, I'm actually very grateful to him. I think I was so fixated on the breasts that I missed the whole picture. If he was dishonest, he could have taken advantage of that, but he chose not to.

    You look great Surgery Twin! You should be the poster child for your doctor's best work!

    Hope you continue to feel better and better each day! Now is the time to spoil yourself.

    Hi Ana, I know...What the heck happened with me? They are smaller, but not by enough. I still have a substantial amount of breast and I can't jog without them flopping all around even with a firm bra on. All I can think of is that maybe he was thinking that you can go back in later and take more out but you can't put if back if you take too much. I don't actually agree with this because it's very easy to gain weight, and this area is a place in my anatomy where excess loves to reside, and apparently this process has already begun or else I'd still be the C I was a few weeks ago. He knows that I have not been happy with their size from the moment they took the bandages off. Not even once. Never. I've always been honest and consistent in my dissatisfaction, which is difficult because I hand-selected this doctor, so it's no surprise that I do like the guy. My fear, however, is that he thinks he did a fine job...which he did if I wanted to go from being a larger D to a smaller D... He didn't really listen to me, I feel, and this explains the C+ grade he got with the possibility of extra credit. So it comes to this: he really doesn't WANT to go back and do it again--he is willing to FORE-GO the extra credit! He's already told me he hopes it doesn't come to this. So there may be yet a third elephant in the room very soon. I'm coming up on my 6-month point in December.

    Hi JA! Sorry it's been so long, but I just noticed your posts now. I can't become a comedian! I have anxiety disorder, and crowds of people who are over the age of 14 make me nervous!! Ha Ha! That's why teaching middle school is such a good fit, (unlike the bras I currently squeeze into). But I actually do plan to be an author at some point before I die. My pseudonym will be Kapilani. I've already written 3 books, but I lost one, believe it or not. I wrote it on computer paper and read it to my son before bed when he was little. I never saved it, and I think it accidentally got donated along with children's books to the Salvation Army years ago. How stupid was that???
