  • Posted to August Breast Reductions Check In Here on 23 Aug 2012

    No, I did not have a catheter. I specifically asked before going into surgery. I was the same way...just wanted to know...

  • Posted to Why does my tummy feel and look bloated. on 22 Aug 2012

    I'm 16 days post surgery and I still have slight bruising in my torso and a couple of areas of my stomach are still a bit tender to the touch. The doc said that the bruising happens in some people but not all. I asked about the tenderness and he didn't really seemed concerned. I think my belly still looks bloated but I also figure that I can just see it better without the giant boobs and probably put on a couple of pounds sitting around doing nothing for a week. :)

  • Posted to Let's talk bras on 22 Aug 2012

    Ok, I have a bra that I do not recommend - Warner's 01298. It was really comfortable when I tried it on but it has these bumps in the cup. (Website description - Molded, contour wire free cups have a lightly padded bump along bottom of cups.) Today was my first day in a "real" bra post surgery and now I have weird ridges on my new boobs. I know that it will smooth out and it is just fluid moving around but I don't mess with my shape! I was really tired when I was shopping last night and didn't even think about it...oh well, I will be able to wear it in a few weeks.

    I'm 2 weeks post-op and still wearing the surgical vest. I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow and am really hoping that he will give me the OK to wear something other than this vest. It comes up pretty high under my arms and high on my chest and is pretty difficult to hide. If he gives me the OK, I'm going shopping immediately. Thank you for all of the recommendations in these postings!

    I am making it through the day but make myself I lie down and rest for a short bit when I get home. The beginning of a school year is exhausting for everyone, though. I can't wait to see my surgeon on Tuesday and tell him I successfully went back on Day 8. :)
