Feeling a lot more like myself!
$5,500
My energy has slowly been coming back- today is the first day since the surgery that I didn't feel completely exhausted mid afternoon.
My nipples have been sensitive, but not in the way I expected- I thought sensitivity would be like a sexy sensitivity. Nope. Feels more like fire coming out of my nipples. Luckily, that has subsidized somewhat.
Doc still hasn't cleared me for exercise, but I have started walking and doing light yoga to keep active.
Overall, I'm pleased with my results. I believe they are beginning to drop and definitely are softer.

Not at a high point today
I hate this uncomfortable surgical bra. I hate the diazepam I'm taking. I hate that I can't exercise. I hate that all I have energy to do is go to work and come home to sleep. I miss being with my husband.
I had my one week post op Tuesday, everything looks good. I am happy with my results so far. Just want my regular life back.

I feel exactly the same, I'm not back to work yet as I am 4days post. My breasts feel so high and tight and SO uncomfortable. I love my results but I am miserable. I cannot wait to feel normal again.
Do you feel like yours have dropped abit yet?

I think they have dropped a bit, especially looking at pictures from 1 day post. But I think they have a way to go still, hence the diazepam and surgical bra. :(
I DO feel better now than a week ago, so hang in there! I'm sure I will feel a little better every day. My husband keeps reminding me that the results will be worth it. But if you're anything like me, patience does not come naturally. Or gracefully!!

Itching & Gurgling- Normal?
While I am pleased with how my ba is looking so far, I seem to have developed an allergy to either the pain med or the elastic in my surgical bra. The itching is driving me crazy! I have dropped the pain med (since I'm not needing it anyway at this piint), and taking Benadryl per my ps.
Today's new development has been if I move my arm in a particular way, I hear a "gurgling" noise like there is air trapped in my breast. Has anyone experienced this before? There isn't any pain, just wondering if it's normal.

Hi! Congrats on your BA! I had my surgery on Sept. 7 and many of the same concerns. My surgical bra makes me itch on the upper portion of my breasts the second I put it on. Thankfully, I only wear at night because my surgeon instructed me to go braless as much as possible until he sees me again next week. Also, I had the gurgling, bubbling noise/sensation a few days post-op as well. Only felt it in one breast, mostly when I massaged a little. I've read that it is the result of fluid retained in the post-surgical period. It only lasted a few days and hasn't happened again. Good luck!

Thanks for your feedback, it makes me feel better! I also called my ps who said it was normal. I hope your recovery is going smoothly.
Unfortunately, my ps wants me in my surgical bra all the time, except for showering. So I'm taking extra long showers and I've lined the interior of my surgical bra with pantyliners. It look absolutely absurd, but it helps with the itching!
