Not to happy....

WORTH IT
Well it's been a little over 3 weeks and I have to say at this point I'm not real happy. First the Pros
1. Surgery went exceptionally well. Not much pain and healing is going great and scars look good
2. Back and shoulder pain is gone.
3. Breasts are definitely lifted and areola is smaller.
Con
1. I realize that I'm still swollen but I am still wearing a DDD the same as before surgery. Even if my swelling goes down I'm pretty sure I won't be a full B or small C that I requested. I am so disappointed and I'm trying so hard not to be upset. In clothes my chest looks the same only lifted. It's just that I got this one chance to do this and I'm nowhere near the size I requested. I just hope and pray that there's much more swelling that will go away and will at least take me down to a D. Not real hopeful at this point. Now that I got the ok to resume exercise, maybe if I drop 15lbs they'll go down a little more. One of the things I was so looking forward to is being able to fit in clothes better. I'm so sad right now.....

Recovery is moving along.....

Drains were taken out at my post op on Friday. Didn't hurt at all. I felt so much better with them gone however the down side is that I got real swollen 24 hrs later. I'm assuming because the fluid is there but no drains to drain it. Rather uncomfortable but I know it will start to go down eventually. I think I over did it a little yesterday. I went out for lunch with a friend and stopped at a department store on my way home. Plan on getting some good rest today however I'm a little upset that my teenage son violated his curfew last night. Maybe I'll just let my husband handle it and stay out of it for now. Oh well... I'll just look forward to queing up Amazon Video and continue to binge watch "The Good Wife" today!

Post Op Appt Today
guifamNovember 6, 2015
Today is my post op appt with my PS. Things have gone really well. Better than I expected. Not much pain and I've been able to sleep nights except for last night. I didn't have any pain but was uncomfortable due to the drains and the empty pain pump. I'm REALLY looking forward to getting all of it taken off today. Hope it doesn't hurt but just in case I've taken pain meds ahead of my appt. So far I'm so thrilled with my little cute boobies. I haven't had a good look yet As they're still hiding behind bandages and a surgical bra but hope to get a good look at my appt.
