53 Years Young 36DDD Plus to ? - Gulfport, MS

Shoulder pain is no fun, and having huge boobs is no picnic either. I've always been pretty chesty but as menopause came on I seemed to just keep getting bigger and bigger. Enough. So glad I worked up the courage to go in for a consultation. My surgery went great and so far so good! Looking forward to seeing how I will continue to heal and when I will feel like these are really my girls!

One week and a day post surgery; my sweet hubby has been such a help and not letting me over do it. He still has not seen the new boobs, He is very sqimish so I don't blame him at all. It is hard for people who love you to see you in pain and all sliced up. I have been taking it very slowly, but I admit I am getting bored and restless. I have not been driving but I think I am just fine to go to the store by myself for a short outing today. I need a few more post surgery bras in a slightly smaller band size. Thr surgical center had me buy a large band size so the dressings would fit comfortably underneath. Since I don't need dressings now I'll go get some smaller bras. So for those making a decision about BR lrt me tell you how this happened for me. I have hated my boobs for a number of years. They effect most things I do, even if you don't realize it. My arm mobility, my clothing choices, wheather I can be physically active. The embarrasment alone is very devestating. I've used very compressing minimizer bras for years, I kept creeping up in cup size. Finally I knew I was going to have to buy a 36G because DDD was to small to contain them, the enemy. I was very depressed and ordered 6 new 36DDD bras refusing to face reality. That was my moment . I realized I was going to do something radical. Before the new bras even arrived I had an appointment for a consultation. I had a good consult and the office staff sent in everything for the insurance approval. I called 2 weeks later to check on the progress. They had spoken with the insurance that morning, and sent in the photos, by the end of the day I was approved and had a date set of May 14th. After my next appointment I will update you on my progress. So far this has been much easier than I would have ever imagined.

2 weeks post op got my stitches removed. It was not all that painful. However the next day I was sensitive and pretty sore. I also have to keep reminding myself that need to take it easy, when I do to much I get very tired and sore. My tips to you are to relax as much as possible and drink lots and lots of fluids!
