I don't regret it at all. I never thought I would be able to have surgery, but then one day it became clear it was the right thing to do, and I wasn't so afraid. I encourage you to do it, if you can. I haven't heard anyone say they regret it. I wish you the best, whatever you decide!

Four Week Update
This is me with Mepitac tape. Money is tight, so I chose this over silicone sheets. I also have heard great things about it (thanks smurfette!) It is very easy to work with, and stays put. My ps approved it, said it gives the same result as silicon sheets. Who knows? I am now at week 5 ( this is last week's picture), and massage is easier. I try to do it twice a day. The sides are still painful, but I get a little in. I use generic Mederma, Bio-Oil, Vaseline. I wear tape as well, and do not yet have a good routine down...sometimes I wear tape overnight, sometimes during day, sometimes for 24 hours and I skip that day's massage. I really wish there were clearer guidelines for scar care and bras. Doing my best ^_^. Sending courage to those with upcoming surgeries and healing energy to those in recovery!

Three week update
This is me three weeks after surgery. The cellulitis is mostly cleared up, swelling gone, just a little redness left. I am much smaller than I ever thought my surgeon could safely go! I am at this point cleared to start massage...though my side incisions are too painful. I am using generic Mederma and vaseline at this point, some bacitracin on certain sore spots. Massage is not my favorite thing.
Congratulations!
I am finding that at month eight I can wear any bra with no discomfort- but kinda spoiled now- dont really like underwires except, oddly enough, two I got at Victoria Secret. They are surprisingly comfortable and perfectly supportive- who would have guessed? Do bear in mind that your band and cup size will still change size in the next three or four months ( at least mine did) so you may not want to invest a lot in these first bras.
Arent you happy you did this?
