First thanks to all of the ladies who have watched my youtube videos and showed extra love...it warms my heart that I could help you along the way. I have been doing well I still dont have to wear bras just sports bras. I dont really like to wear them because the are actually uncomfortable now. Also my scars that turned in slight keloids have went down and are starting to lighten up and fade away. No injections and no medications just b vitamin E oil and coco butter. Im currently working on my weight but I feel wonderful and I have gained so much confidence its crazy

I too need to work on my weight...i believe not having to run on a treadmill while literally holding up my 38DDD with my hands is gonna be enough motivation to get started...

So where have I been life has gotten in the way. But the girls are still perky and fabulous. ...lol. The ony issues that I have experienced is that my scars have healed just fine but they have turned dark which does not bother me. I went back to dr.larson and he gave me a steriod compound medication gel that I would rub on my scars everyday. Unfortunately im so sensitive to everything I developed a rash because I was allergic to the medication. I stopped using that and I am just using coco butter. I love my breast I feel more confident and and im kinda always looking at them I feel like this is how im suppose to look. I want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you to all the women that follow my journey and watched the youtube videos. I love you guys and I will continue to answer any and all questions you may have

I first want to say thank you. If you are not ready don't rush it. Its a big decision and you have to consider alot. I was beyond scared to have this done. But one day I looked at my breast and I just couldn't deal anymore. It will hit you one day and your mind will be made up. Again thank you and keep me updated on your decision

I'm currently on a weight loss journey and to reward myself, I wanna do the reduction!! I've been following u and I'm talking to someone tomorrow about their surgery, and I'm talking to my doctor about the consultation appointment. I think I'm ready. As I lose weight, it seems like they're getting bigger. I figure if I could survive 2 knee surgeries, I'm ready for this. HOW BAD WAS THE DISCOMFORT AND HOW LONG BEFORE U COULD WORK OUT?????

Bra Update!!

User Avatar
shawnytutu
As much as I love the pretty bras from Victoria secret and everything I have to say that I dont wear them all the time only when I feel I can tolerate them and by that I mean...my inscions on the side are very sensitive this may not be the same for everyone. So I went back to trusty old walmart and bought some fruit of the loom bras that are extremely soft and comfortable. They are cotton and cheap...lol I think that the material of the other bras are whats bothering me so much maybe around 6months and a year I will be a little better with the scar healing. As anyone else experienced this?

Omg its coming so fast I was waiting until my 6months boob anniversary to update. But I want to do a video soon its been awhile. I know how you feel I was scared and excited all at the same time. It is going to give you so much life girl. I was actually standing in the mirror tonight messaging my scars and was like man I love them. Lol. But I will try my best to get a special video out just for you ;)
