Hey- is anyone have trouble buying clothing? I cannot see myself any different. It is very hard to dress this body. I keep trying to cover up! What have been your experiences?

HI Lucy, I'm doing well.. next appt. is May 3. I have numbness under both breasts on the vertical line area. Still get some pain now and again but nothing like those 3 week zingers. Healing well, but wishing they were smaller. I am measuring a 34DD still.. and have lost 10 pounds! My PS said I could go for a second opinion, but then did not email me my before and after photos.. I wish I had taken my own before pictures. Like many of us here, we wanted to be about a C or full B. No backaches anymore! No migraines! This is wonderful! However, I am disgusted to have to spend all that money on another bathing suit for big boobs! Not off the rack size. Bummer.

I am 12 weeks post op. Not the C I was expecting.. still a 34DD. I went out and finally bought the big ones again. Maybe I was in denial with my old bra size, but I'm still not a C. Now on a big diet. Maybe 25 lbs will help! On the positive side, I'm not wearing a minimizer.. I was told they could make me look bigger. And.. even better.. it doesn't look like I'm wearing a waterbed under my shirt! No backaches since- or headaches- and that's terrific.

Saw the PS after being measured twice as a 34DD. He asked me if I feel better, and the answer to that is a resounding yes. He said the number is just a number, but like many of you (all seemingly in the same original size range) I am disappointed. I think believing my size was smaller made me feel better until the truth was known. I need to diet- maybe this will help. Maybe I will wear ill-fitting 34C bras!! I have another appointment in 6 weeks. The PS said I could seek a second opinion, and he wouldn't feel bad. I may. I have paid almost $7k out of pocket for this.. I can't go through this surgery again.

Okay. Somebody else had this happen. I too was a34DDD, and I just went for a bra fitting only to find that I am measuring exactly the same. I am so depressed. The bra fitter was asking me how my surgery went, but asked me twice what my former size was.. Sadly, the same. My surgery was 12/20.
