18 Weeks from surgery.
Just throwing a question out here to see if anyone else is having this issue. I'm healing really quite nicely but I do have a few hard lumps under the incisions and just under the nipple, I'm thinking it is scar tissue, but I have been massaging the area and hoping it will go down eventually but was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue. My PS said it would take up to a year for swelling to go totally away so I'm just trying to reassure myself.

Ten Weeks
Can't believe how fast the time has gone. I wanted to be all healed up before Christmas and I guess I got my wish, I'm feeling absolutely great except for this darn cold I got a few weeks back it keeps hanging on but I'm trying to get it gone too. My breasts though I have to say I've never felt better, this is truly a life changing experience I absolutely am so happy I did this. If I could encourage those who are afraid to do this surgery I would. There are some others who have shared their journeys as well who have had troubles and have posted some scary stuff not saying it could happen there are chances we take but even those ladies did not write they regretted doing it. My scars are doing so good, using Bio Oil and Mederma and Lavender essential oils is all, I've thought about using the strips but haven't because the hassle didn't seem worth it to me. I'm enjoying exercise again and also sleeping on my side even roll over on my tummy once in awhile. Life is good.

Thanks I have bought some new ones, but you know the old ones fit me so much better I'm loving my old wardrobe all over again. I'm excited for you to get that bandage off :) you will feel so much better.

Feeling so much better, not quite back to normal activity but working on it each day. Getting a lot of feeling back and swelling has gone down in my right breast but the left not as much but it's getting better.
There has not been a day go by that I'm so grateful that I made the decision to do this I feel remarkably better.
I'm a wee bit nervous my 30 year old kids are coming home for Christmas and I did not tell them what I did. Think they'll notice :) lol

One more day I'll be praying for us.
It is a little funny huh they live out of state and I timed this just right so I would be all healed up before their next visit. They just might not say anything it's my son and DIL so they might not .:)I have to find some humor in this:)
I'm anxious for you to get through Monday , my first day was the worst only got better from there I never have regretted the decision it feels amazing to be smaller.

Thank you. I can't wait to be on the other side.
I told people at work I was having back surgery, so I'm curious to see if they notice. My PS says they definitely will...heehee. Your son and DIL might notice somethings different, but not recognize what exactly. Maybe you lost weight? Can't wait to hear how it goes :)
