6 weeks post

Hello everyone,

Its been a while seen I've posted, however I am doing well. Some days I do better than others but for the most part, I am progressing nicely. I had my six weeks appointment today and I became a little annoyed because it seemed as if my PS did not have the time to hold a conversation. I felt rushed. She did manage to tell me that what I believed what fat was really loose skin left from lipo to my back. That did not make me feel good. At any rate, I am still dealing with lots and lots of swelling. The last time I wrote, I was happy that I was given the green light to exercise but I have not been able to work out since having my breast reduction a few weeks ago, so I am bummed out about that. I have not returned back to work yet and I am not planning on returning until the second week of December so hopefully I will be able to fit the majority of my clothes by then. Last week I was making progress in this area and was able to wear a few items. It felt really good. I can just imagine how things will look in a few months, so I am excited. Today after visiting my PS, I decided to switch from the $30 serum that I had been using. I have decided to use Vitamin E and cocoa butter. I just do not feel like the expensive stuff is doing anything more than something over the counter besides my scars are looking really good. I hope that everyone is doing well and for all those ladies who are considering this surgery. It is a difficult one, but I am really starting to like what I see. Take care everyone. I have posted before and after pictures of my breast reduction on that forum.

my scar

Just wanted to post a picture of my scar. I'm only 3 almost 4 weeks out. I think its look pretty good.

3 weeks post

Hello Everyone,

I am 3 weeks post op and I am beginning to feel better. I went for my 3 week appointment and was given the okay to begin exercising. I was so happy. I thought I would just do a 30 minute workout on my treadmill but it got so good that I workout for 45 minutes and today I worked out for an hour. I also started scar care. I was given this serum from my doctor's office. I will use it and tell you all how well it works or does not work. I have been reading a lot of information regarding what should be used for scar care and I get the impression that it does not matter, since we all heal differently and at different rates. Nevertheless, well see. I also think I break open vitamin E capsules and mix them with cocoa butter. Today, I have no complaints, so its a good day. Talk to you all soon.
