Tomorrow will be 1 month post op!!
It's crazy how fast time goes by! I've been struggling to keep updating as frequently because I am no longer obsessed with my boobs and back to normal life(minus running!) I am healing very nicely. I have next to no pain still. I am still using the bio oil twice a day. I am still wearing sports bra type bras with no wires and very supportive ones for everything besides work (it's hard to hide a very supportive bra under dressy clothes!)
I've added biking bake into my routine. It's going great. This week I intend to add light weights and ab work. Im dying to run. I start walking and I just get the itch so bad! I know I am not ready and won't start that yet. I'm not going to do anything high Impact until I'm 100% sure I am ready because Im still a little scared they are going to burst open.
Not much else to report. Still eating clean and taking my vitamins. Sleeping is comfotable in almost all positions except my stomach. Bra shopping should be soon! I'm not sure how I feel about going to back to wire bras! The wire free ones are so comfy.
I have sensation in both nipples. Normal sensation not too sensitive anymore. I couldn't be happier. I am so glad I had this surgery. This summer is going to be amazing!!

I just had my surgery last Friday. When I first saw my chest all I could think was "look at how small they are!!" I was worried I might think they're too small, but I don't think I will anymore. I love not having to worry if they're stuck under my armpit, or if they're pointing in the same direction. I'm excited that I won't have to "hide" under extra large clothes that are way too big for my frame.
I did a bit too much yesterday and started throwing up. Definitely wait before you start running. I know you're ahead of me in healing, but all I can think of is one step, one day at a time. Each day I try to do a little more.

Congratulations! Really nice looking breasts! I had my op 10 days ago and also healing well. I am also planning to get that bio oil, bet it's a good product.

Thank you soo much for sharing your journey, and I am so happy to hear how thrilled you are with the results. My surgery isn't scheduled til August, but I have been put on the cancellation list in case an opening comes up.
The other night I went to WalMart to buy some recovery bras and I thought they would have to call security on the deranged woman who couldn't stop smiling and fondling all the bras in the lingerie department!!! I am beyond excited to join the itty bitty [RS bleep] club!

Love your results, thank you for sharing! I love how slender you look in the clothing shot w/the pinkish button front shirt! It gives me hope to look more proportionate, BF my bottom half

Argh! Hit post accidentally. Trying to say, because my bottom half is size 6/8 and top is a 12 (34F/G). Very unbalanced...

I'm jealous of how nice and small yours turned out. I still have DDD but I am actually really happy with them after the reduction/lift. I did get more removed than what surgery required, and he said any smaller would have been very difficult as he was trying to preserve my abilityto breast feed. (I've never had kids and not sure if I want to.)
But then I come back and look at your before and after and I get so jealous!! Enjoy! You're very lucky and look great!

My boobs cost more than my college degree!
Thank god for health insurance! My total out of pocket cost is $1350. Less than 2.5% of the total cost. So worth it!! Best $1350 I've ever spent!

What size have you settled into?
April 16, 2015
wait, does that say 53,000????? holy hell.
April 17, 2015
me too! but when i was researching I saw people say it can range from 5-10K. Can't believe how lucky we are that we paid $0!

There's often different pricing for self-pay vs. covered by insurance. Hospitals/doctors always charge more when it's going through insurance, but insurance has a capped amount they will pay, so there's a behind the scenes negotiation over the final cost. Ultimately, the doctor/hospital won't get $60K for this, they'll get the negotiated rate. My friend had a BR last summer, but because her breasts were not heavy enough to take a set amount off, she had to self-pay, and her PS charged $6,500. When I looked at preliminary pricing for my insurance, same hospital, my PS is in the same practice as hers, the insurance rate quoted was around $16K, with my portion being around $2,800 for co-insurance.

I really enjoyed reading your posts. Some made me smile and some made laugh and all of them convinced me to definitely seriously consider having a BR. I hope to do so in the near future. All the best to you and keep enjoying your new boobs.

I ordered a wedge pillow off of Amazon that another woman recommended, but I'm also seeing a lot of people liked having those long body pillows- do you have any thoughts on this??
Hoping my recovery and results are in the same category as yours! You look absolutely fabulous!!! Cheers!
