2 Weeks Away - Englewood, NJ

Thanks for posting two years after your reduction! I am 3 weeks post op and have been going thru an emotional roller coaster ride everyday. Sometimes I am happy I did it and sometimes have regret because they look so so small and ugly right now. It really helps to hear from women who are 1 or more years post op who are 100% happy. Gives me hope!

Hope all goes well tomorrow and the hole starts to heal!

Firstly congratulations :) hope the little victories start to cheer you up. With the hole I'm no expert but because super cautious myself i asked a ton of questions at my PS visits and he said if i get separation that i shouldn't worry too much because there are a few different layers of stitching which helps. But you'll know when your body i feeling sometime unnatural during healing. :) just be strong its a wonderful thing and you can be happy about it but even with few hiccups i found it was hard to be upbeat all the time with little worries seeping in. We get post op blues and the best thing to do is to explain that to someone close. A nice dinner or even some kind words and TLC can make a world of difference to your mood. One thing that is hard to prepare for also is the waiting game. It will take up to a year to see scars faded and underlying stitches dissolving (those normally in the first 9months) and we just want to see what we will be wearing for the rest of our lives! But at 3 months post op i can say it all goes pretty slow til the 8-10 week marks then life goes back to normal pretty much and time can fly by. Come here for comfort if you cant be with people and try not to let your little setback ruin an experience you will most likely never regret :) well wishes your way. X

Congrats on the reduction. How have u been doing. I too live in Jersey and I'm looking for a surgeon
