    I am not terribly impressed with the silicone bandage strips...the edges roll and curl up. Anyone else having issues with them?

    Three weeks and three days post op...today was my first day scheduled back to work. Got up at 5:30 am....walking the dog....tripped and took a very hard fall on concrete. Wow....limped back home and found I had ripped open the sutures (where the nipple suture meets the vertical suture) about half inch. Sooooo not the day I had planned. However, still managed to work 6 hours today....with all the other injuries to my hands, knee, shoulder...my breast is one of my minor issues! Hoping tomorrow is a better day! :)

    I would like to thank whoever posted that Week 3 was a turning point! My surgery was three weeks ago (tomorrow) and I am starting to feel more human. I went out for several hours today, got my hair cut, really feeling good. Trying not to over do it, but definitely feeling better. I am SO SO glad I found this site!

    Happy New Year! I am almost 3 weeks post reduction....I started using vitamin E oil on all of my incisions and It has made such a difference! I am not as irritable with having the compression bra on (which has seemed to just irritate the incision miserably)! Lack of energy and the ability to sit at a table comfortably are my current challenges. Looking forward to my next po appt on Jan..9th Take care, Ladies!

    Thanks for responding...that cold sensation thing is really weird. But now I can tell my husband that I am NOT losing my mind! :) I hope tomorrow is a better day for you! Happy New Year!
