Last Tuesday January 14, 2013 was six weeks post op. I feel better and better each day. I have resumed walking and doing light arm excerises. I still have a few small scabs that have not come off as of yet. I peeled one off and now I'm putting ointment and bandaids over the area. SOOO, DO NOT HELP the healing along. I can lay on my side and stomach, but have sent so much time on my back I wake up on my back. I still don't have a lot of feeling between my breasts and on top. However feeling is slowing coming back. I am so happy I've had the surgery. Everything fits like it should and wearing a sun dress is something I haven't done in so many years I can't remember. (I'm in Florida for the winter), not to mention buying a bathing suit.
The scars are light in color except the scars on my sides under my arms. Those are always covered so it's no big deal.
Everyone tells me how good I look ... I ran into a friend who didn't know of my surgery and she said "Wow, you've lost a lot of weight"! Yes, I did, yes I did!
So, don't wait go call and make that appointment you won't be sorry.

It's not coming quick enough for me. I can't wait to be on the "other side" I am so happy for you that you are doing better!

Bev, I know the feeling time just creeps doesn't it? Time will creep afterward especially for the first few weeks. Be sure to get a few good books and movies that you have been wanting to read and watch because you won't feel like doing much of anything. Get a wedge pillow (one that lifts your head, shoulders and upper back) I'm not sure where you would buy one maybe Bed, Bath and Beyond or maybe a medical supply place. My husband has problems with his shoulder and was looking for something that would help him sleep so all of sudden a bunch of pillows started arriving at the house. Any pillow advertised on tv ... we own! Your just about under a month now!

Thank you for the pillow advice. I happen to be going to bed bath and beyond today so I will check them out. My surgery is feb 19 so a bit over a month, I had a horrible dream that the dr called and canceled I actually woke up actually crying.

I went yesterday for my two week check up ... she said I coming along well. Still a lot of bruising and swelling, but she told me that I could start walking as excerise if I wish and to do a few miles for her LOL. Lift nothing heavy and no underwire bras. She took out the stitches around the nipples.I I think they still look awful. Love the size but they are not pretty as of yet. She told me that everything I'm feeling is very normal so that is a good thing. I was whining about the fullness and how uncomfortable I am and she had to remind me that it has only been two weeks and what I had done was major cutting. I have tried several sports bras but find that they are not comfortable around the incisions. I find that tighter fitting camisoles are the way for me to go.
I have another appointment in a month, but I think I will have to cancel it because we are leaving for Florida.
