For years my back and neck has killed me. Body issues and self confidence have been a problem along with people believing that I am a slu*. Psychologically it's been difficult on me. So hopefully, with this surgery those problems will be resolved! I wanted to go down to a 32C, but insurance has to get at least 500 g removed from each breast. My surgeon told me I will end up being a 32B most likely. This will be a strange and difficult journey, but will be well worth it in the end! Updated on 4 Jan 2016: I had my first post-op appointment today and my surgeon said everything looks great! He did say that he told his residents that he would've liked to only take 400g from each breast instead of 500g. But he says they look better than he thought they would! The glue has been sticking to my bra and peeling so he told me I could finally start taking it off and apply tape. I'm very happy with my results! I just wish I could sleep on my tummy :( how did you all cope with laying on your backs? Updated on 26 Jan 2016: Sorry it's been so long! My semester just started and I've been fairly busy. So far I am very happy with my results! I do have shooting pain sometimes, but not often. I am so pleased that the scars aren't very wide and look so great! I am having some itchiness under my breasts and small amount of drainage from my nipples. I'm pretty sure this is normal so I'm not worried :) Updated on 26 Jan 2016: Gah! I hate looking at this picture. I am SO happy about the way I look now! Updated on 23 Feb 2016: Sorry it's been so long you guys! School started up and studying has taken over my life it seems. Today I just had my second po appointment and was told everything looks great! My breasts finally dropped and my nipples aren't inverted like before. However, in the pictures they are. I assure you they aren't all the time! I do have a large tender mass of scar tissue on my left side of my chest (not on my breast or incision) so I will have to just let it go down. I hope you all are doing well with your recoveries :) Updated on 23 Feb 2016:

I had emergency colon surgery 13 years ago. Three weeks later that 9" vertical incision broke open with a staph infection, so I had to wound pack for 3 months. That left a wide vertical scar, and my belly button off center. I also had lost 80# (by going grain free) since then and had excess skin!!!! Updated on 29 Apr 2015: It's only post-op day 9, and I still have one drain left (I took the first one out myself at day 6), but I'm so excited with my results! I haven't felt this comfortable being naked since my before my colon surgery 13 years ago! Thank God for this site, and you ladies, do giving me the courage to do this! And Thank God for Dr Bite too :)
