    Hang in there Karen. I think the emotional thing is pretty common. I know I went through it. Your body has been through a trauma. Be kind to yourself, keep up on your pain meds, rest as much as you can. I'm at 7 weeks and have been feeling pretty good for awhile now. You'll look back soon and think that the time went by really quickly. Hope you feel better soon!

    I had that same soreness! Not sure what it was from because there was no incision or bruising there. My guess is that its still some swelling working it's way out. I'm 6 weeks post op and most of that is gone. I do still get a little sore around my lower rib cage when I wear a longer sports type bra that has a little bit of compression there, but it's way less than it was 2 weeks ago.

    Hi Val, congrats on being 7 weeks post op! I feel like a new woman too and I've realized that I don't know how to dress anymore, but it's fun trying new outfits and tops that I never would have tried before...and to not be spilling out of everything! I don't have a SO to tell me I look good so thanks for the compliment. You ladies here are the only feedback I get on how I look as I've been too shy to show anyone else. I feel good though! Yay for us for having the courage to do this for ourselves! Take care. :)

    Thanks, Mia! Things are going well except for a slight rash on my upper belly. I think it's from the elastic band in the Ahh Bra so I'm taking a break from wearing it. Incisions are a bit more red too, but I'm guessing that's temporary. It was a busy weekend with the holidays and I could feel things pulling a bit. I'm feeling so much better and lighter that it's hard to remember I'm still healing and to take it as easy as I should! Hope all is well with you!

    Congrats on surviving your first day back at work! I was definitely tired and more swollen my first few days back. I worked a few short days and napped almost every day when I came home. Just remember you're still healing so rest when you can. You're looking great and healing up really well!
