The Best thing I've ever done!

Memphis Mama
WORTH IT
I just went for my last checkup after surgery. About 7 weeks later. Everything looks like it should so I'm finished. I have to say, I didn't really feel that great for about 6 weeks. Just really sore and tired. Still able to do things but I think I healed slower. Everyone is different. I read woman who feel great right away. That wasn't my case. But.. It was worth it!!
My breasts look better than I ever imagined they could. After years of sagging and back and neck pain my life has changed for the better in so many ways. My confidence is back, clothes are so much fun to try on and buy. Best of all.. no more pain!
I want to wish all the woman that have up coming BR the best! You will never regret it! It's a life changer.
I had an amazing PS. Dr. Adams is a true artist and perfectionist. Most definatly the best I've ever met and talked to. (And Ive talked to many in the area.) I'd never go to anyone else.
A before and after comparison.

Glad you are so happy with the results. You look great and I can imagine it's so exciting to wear new things without worrying about covering up.
October 10, 2016
Thank you:) exactly about not having to cover up.
Did you have your BR yet?
October 9, 2016
Omg I'm having mine done in 1.5 wks. I'm nervous but can't wait. Which hospital did you have yours at and what size were you and what size now?
October 10, 2016
I went to Bsbtist East surgery center. They were amazing from the time I walked in.
Don't worry, your going to be thrilled. It's such a gift!
Who is your PS?

Dr. Quigley. Did you take stool softeners or anything? Did you use anything to help getting up from the toilet. Sorry for all the questions but trying to figure out the little stuff
October 12, 2016
That's right.. she's so good too!!
I sure did take stool softener . I think you should start day one. I did. That's the worst part. But manageable with a few different over the counter aids.
No, you'll be fine getting up from toilet. I did buy a long grabber. It helped with reaching for things. On Amazon - cheap :)
I'm excited for you!!!
October 12, 2016
Please ask anything. I was so nervous but I've never been happier;) you will be too!
October 24, 2016
I'm so sore no matter what I put under my bra(gauze and pads). I feel like everything is rubbing. When did they let you go without a bra. I have stitches
October 25, 2016
I still wear a light weight sports bra. I know it hurts where those stitches are. It still hurts sometimes. Are you happy with your results? Im so happy its over for you!
October 25, 2016
Omg I'm so happy. I can't believe how good they looked the next day. I have all feeling in my nipples too;) I found a new sports bra yesterday that was longer so now it's now pressing on my incision. I go back Thursday for checkup

Three weeks later...

Things get better everyday. I don't have all my energy back yet but I know that comes in time.
All my glue is off. I'm amazed at my scars!
The only place that looks like I need scar therapy is underneath. I expected them to be red and raised for awhile. Every scar I've had in my life was like that. These are flat and not that noticeable already:) My PS is amazing!!! I know I have a long way to recover and see the end result completely but so far I'm thrilled!!!!
I went out last night on a date with my hubby. First time getting dressed up. I felt so good . What a difference!!! I always covered up constantly with jackets and sweaters. Feels great to look normal. :))
Good luck to all the Ladies that are having surgery soon. Best decision I ever made!

You have such a nice shape and size! What size do you anticipate you will end up?
Your healing is amazing for just 24 days out.
September 12, 2016
Thank you!! PS and I talked about size. I wanted a full C. He said mid to full would be best. I"m very short so I know he is right for proportion. I was afraid of being to small and such a major change. Im not sure where Ill end up. I think I'm still swollen a little but I'm so happy. Did you have your surgery yet?
September 13, 2016
Yes, I am actually at 5 1/2months post op and begged to be small- to my surprise she actually got me to a medium C. My final size settled in around month three. You look very close to the size I was at one month out. I guarantee you wont feel too small- it is amazing how quickly your mind will accept this new size and believe it or not, they wont seem small after a while- just normal size! Good luck with your healing and keep us posted!

How did you get all the glue off? I am p.o. 11 days, and the glue isn't moving except off my nipple area.

It's been one week already!!

I think this surgery is one of the best things we can ever do for ourselves ladies!! The way time has inched it's way , little by little, to have us carry such weight on our backs and shoulders is amazing!
I forgot how light I can feel ! And it feels GOOD!
I'm still feeling some pain but nothing at all like I expected! Very manageable if you follow DR'S orders. Take time for yourself and heal! We are worth it!
Good Luck to all who are having surgery this week ! Also, hope everyone who has had surgery is healing and happy!????

So happy for you!!!
September 10, 2016
I'm excited. I got approved so will get my reduction in October. Did they do yours at Methodist or baptist?
September 10, 2016
I'm so happy for you!!!!
I can't tell you how thrilled I am. It's a life changer in so many ways!
I had mine down at Bsbtist East.
Wonderful nurses and after Car.
Who is your PS? I'm so excited for you!!
September 10, 2016
I'm going to Dr.quigley. Did yours do drain tube? She said she doesn't so I didn't know how they drain then.
September 10, 2016
She's great. I went to Dr Adams in the same office.
No, I didn't have drains. You won't need them. It's better that way. Your body will absorb and get rid of the fluid on its own.
They also use glue instead of tape. Much better on scars.
September 10, 2016
Oh good. How long after to you go for follow up and when you have time can you give me tips on anything

September 11, 2016
my follow up is beginning of Oct. I was going to ask you your date if you have it yet.Id be happy to answer anything for you. Im really happy your going to that group. Best in our area! Please take some before pictures. You wont believe the difference. I cant believe that was me and my breasts I carried around for so long. lol
September 11, 2016
Oh me so you don't go back a few days later or anything? I go October 19th
September 11, 2016
No, I went for a check up the first week after. Everything looked fine. So ,he didn't want to see me for another month. You probably wont need to see her either unless you want to .You just have to rest and take time to heal. Your going to do fantastic! I think this is the worst part...waiting for your day. I was so nervous before hand but that morning I was so happy! What a gift:)
September 11, 2016
Thank you so much for the encouraging words!!
