Feeling Unconfident

It has been almost 15 weeks PO for me, and while I am in love with my breasts, I kinda questions if I should have gotten the TT. Part of this is how my body heals with the scarring. My scarring has stayed the same so far and has not lightened, so it is all still really red at the incision line. Dr. Vath felt confident this will go away after like a year but I am not so sure. I feel like I didn't have very much skin for him to take away and my TT line is sooooooo long. It is slightly higher on one side, so while I could find a bikini to hide it on one side, you could see the scar on the other side. As a matter of fact, I couldn't wear a bikini this summer because you can almost always see my scar. If it lightens, I will be able to, but I am scared it won't completely lighten. I look great in clothes, but I don't feel confident naked completely. I actually feel really self conscious about my scar and that my husband probably doesn't like seeing it (he has NEVER made me feel less than awesome about my surgery) so I am always trying to find panties I can wear for during sex or lingerie I can wear during sex that will hide my scar. Ugh. maybe I am just having a bad slump but I am not so confident my TT scar is going to be something I am happy about long term.

I still get swollen by the end o the work day even with spanx. My stomach still feels pretty foreign like I'm touching somebody else. I get twinges everywhere around incision lines. I guess that'll happen for a while. I ordered a new bra lets see when it gets here.

I hope I didn't push it too hard at the gym today. I did 40 mins of cardio, some 10 lb bicep curls and modified push-ups. I couldn't do the real push-ups with my stomach. Lol

Overall I feel pretty good. Oh and I had sex this past week. Yay!

I just love this doctor. I went to three other consultations, even thought I would prefer a woman, but was blown away by him. First I was impressed that he came and grabbed me in his suit and tie in the Lobby to take me back to his office, not a medical assistant. He just presented a very open, comfortable environment for me to to talk about what results I wanted. He was very respectful when I was disrobed and gave me confidence that my breasts would turn out the way I wanted without an implant (I was pressured by other surgeons to also get the BA). I felt confident after we met he was my guy. His before & afters alone pretty much sold me. He's precise and professional.
