42Y/o 5'2Mom of 3 with 38GBreasts (Fastly Approaching the Next Size) ThinkingAbout BR and Something Tummyrelated. Huntsville, AL

So I wrote a LOONNGGGG review only for my computer to update right in the middle of it and I lost it all!! ARGGGHHHHH!!! So the long and short of it is that all is well. Released for light exercise, going to try Scar-Away and then BioCorneum. Wearing a 38DD now looking forward to getting down to a D. Loving the new girls! Next appointment is in March. Pics of besties attached. Happy healing to all!!!

Hi Ladies!!!
Hope all has been well. I'm still progressing along pretty nicely. I'm now down to one little open area right at my T-junction on Righty Ruthy. The other little hole has closed up and hopefully will stay closed. Well, I'm happy to report that I can wear a tank top with a shelf bra in it and look NORMAL!!! I actually walked around the house in one today, lol! This is quite an accomplishment for me as I haven't done that since I was waaaayyyyy younger!! I used to hang out of the bottom of the shelf bra which resulted in all kinds of cleavage and bra showing up top while trying to relocate the bottom of the bra accordingly. What a chore!! Both of the girls are still swellling, particularly under my arms. I've learned that pickles are not a BR girl's best friend as everytime I've eaten them since surgery, I've ended up so swollen that I could barely put my arms down!! Must be all the salt which is probably why I love them in the first place. I'm still watching my 4 spitting stitches. I've got two around my left nipple which are black and I suppose those are external stitches. Then, I've got one white one sticking out under my nipple on the right and white one that was in that one small hole that closed up under righty, which I suppose are internal stiches. The stitch in my right nipple sometimes oozes a bit but it hasn't been painful. I'm just going to wait it out until my next PO appointment and let the trained professionals remove everything. Still gaining weight and hoping it doesn't affect the look and success of the BR. I cannot WAIT to get back to exercising! Anywho, I'm just taking it day by day. Happy healing to all!!

Hi Ladies!
Hope everyone had an awesomely blessed Christmas and the New Year is off to a great start! I've missed being on here and have lots of catching up to do as my computer crashed, unfortunately. But DH got me all fixed up and here I am once again. So today marks one month since my BR, YAAYYYYYYYY!!!! I'm happy I had the BR and am looking forward to continued progress towards being completely healed. Everything is going very well and I've pretty much returned back to life pre-BR. I've had to take a benadryl here and there for itchiness and extra strength tylenol here and there for soreness when I've done to much with my arms. Lefty Lucy is still swollen but she's not quite as swollen as she was previously. My dear, sweet, problem child, Righty Ruthy is doing well and is still working towards closing up in those two little areas I mentioned in my previous post. I'm still wearing gauze over both of my nipples and gauze under Lefty to catch the drainage. The main open spot is about the size of one or two straight pin heads put together. I've still been scrubbing my scars in the shower and using the hair dryer to keep everything dry. All in all, I'm pleased with my progress!!!! I've gained weight over the holidays and can't wait to be released to exercise. I'm also EXXXXTTTTRRAAA dry on the sides an tops of my breasts but my nurse said no moisture as we want to make sure we keep everything DRY! I go back for my next post-op appointment toward the end of January and hopefully, I'll have dropped, shrank, and fluffed some more by then. Still wearing my sports bra however, I did go to a fancy function and had to keep that gray bra on for several hours which actually went better than it did when I initially tried it on. Here are two pics I earlier this past week. Happy healing to all!!!
