HOLY ZINGERS

Edk123
$7,500
Zingers in the right breast have been GOD AWFUL. Like on a scale of 1-10 they would be AT LEAST a 9. I've been searching around to see if it's normal to be so painful and apparently some women have said theirs are worse than labor pains! Not that I've had those but I can only imagine.

BUT...I was just touching the top of my right and noticed I can actually feel it again. My left is still completely numb. As painful as these things are I guess that means the nerves really are regenerating. I'm excited about that because one of the more annoying parts of this has been the numb feeling.

I'll be getting my sutures out 7/1 and I'm already getting nervous. I've been known to have panic attacks during things like these so I'm already thinking the worst! Someone please tell me that having crease sutures taken out isn't so bad :(

I'm so scared to get mine out too! I'm going on Monday and I'm prettified but I want them out. I hate the marking and the sutures getting caught on shirts!

I'm sorry about the zingers...ouch!! I'm very thankful my doc only uses the dissolving stitches. i hope it's goes well for you!!

Ugh I wish he did the dissolvable ones! I've heard some people say it's painless and others that it's horrible sooo we shall see!

I am a baby when it comes to pain and I swear it was nothing at all to get them taken out. Dr Seckel did it quickly and it was barely any discomfort at all! I promise! You will be fine!
June 30, 2015
Ah thank you this puts my mind at ease! :)
June 30, 2015
Good! I know it's still a little tender in general but he's aware of that and does it super quick. It was very brief discomfort and then def good to get those things out!
June 30, 2015
And in regard to the zingers, I def had some twinges of pain, almost like a cramp like feeling at times.
June 30, 2015
However, those passed pretty quickly too!! all good things lie ahead for you! You will start to feel like they have been there forever I swear. Mine feel like my own and aesthetically look really natural I'm told. I LOVE them and summer will be so fun with new curves!!! Take care and good luck to you!

The really bad zingers finally stopped on Friday! I'm so happy. Hopefully they'll stay away *crossing fingers*. I can't wait for my to start to feel more like my own...they still have a bit of a heavy feeling. They really do feel better with each day though! Yours really do look so natural. I would never know you weren't blessed with perfect big boobies ;) Thank you for all your kind words and knowledge from your experience. I truly appreciate it. Enjoy your summer :)

Sorry I forgot to comment but it wasn't bad at all. A slight pinch but barely.

First Bra

Edk123
I bought my first bra last night...no underwire for 6 wks if I remember correctly so I picked up a soft Calvin Klein at TJ Maxx. Holy crap do these girls look HUGE. Let me tell you how nice it is to not have to buy the extra padded ones ;-) I could have used a 34 band but they only had 36D so that's what I got! I wonder if I'll be a 34D or DD when I get sized. It's nice to be able to wear any shirt I want instead of the limited option with a sports bra. Although I do have to say I feel like the sports bra has more support and feels more comfortable.

Zingers in the right breast were SERIOUS this morning. Righty seems to be the problem child. They seem to be worse when I just wake up and go to brush my teeth etc. I feel fine when I'm sitting still at my desk. I think the #1 thing I have been missing the most is sleeping on my stomach. It's been taking me hours to get to sleep the past few nights--even with taking 10mg melatonin. :-/
