You are looking hot mama!! ;)
November 15, 2017
Thank you-I needed that! You’re so sweet. How are you doing? Are you feeling good?
November 15, 2017
I have a 7 year old and I'm pretty sure she got me beat out on training bra sizes lol smh. Musta got it from her daddy side. My goal is to get my stomach in order as it seems to be pretty big underneath my new boobies. The surgeon put water proof tape over my incisions and boy is it itchy. I almost can't take it. I have my post o.o Thursday and hope that this crap comes off. Other than that, nothing about my boobs hurt and it hasn't even been a full week...hopefully your allergic rash has subsided enough for you to not focus on it. Thanks for checking in :)
November 16, 2017
Oh gosh, I wonder if you’re allergic to the tape too. Hopefully they’ll take it off today. I realized that even when they removed the tape there was still actually something left behind that took days to come off so I had to gently scrub to get it all off so check for it when yours comes off. I don’t know if that keeps the itchy feeling but it certainly didn’t help. I know what you mean about the training bras. I’m smh too!
November 16, 2017
So I just left my appointment and I mentioned how it she that tape was in and the nurse said that everybody says that she took everything off and told me to just put Neosporin under my left boob because there was a really really small opening still. I'm just happy to get all these bandages off!!! Good thing is we.ll both heal eventually...its inevitable :)
November 16, 2017
I agree! Glad they took it all off. Have you used neosporin before? I am allergic to that too so not sure if you want to try it out somewhere else if you don’t know?
November 16, 2017
I believe I may have used it before a long time ago...ugh its always something. I didn't have all these allergies until after I had my second child. I;m a bold and daring person so i'm just gonna do it and hope for the best =) thanks for the heads-up tho CJ

I'm sorry I just saw your message! I'm doing well, just waiting for the incision on the left side to feel better. I'm not sure why it's taking so long but It'll get there. How are you doing?

Hi! I’m doing ok too, thanks- though my left one is a sorry trial at the moment and aches quite a lot. Glad you’re ok! [RS bleep]

Maybe it's a left boob thing! :-). I'm sure very soon we will both be completely healed and pain free!

I wish we all lived close by- we could have a Lovely Lefties picnic and sit with our problem boob on display while we share admiration and acceptance of each other. I could do with that at the moment!
December 8, 2017
That sounds like a great idea! I do think we all should be proud for going through with this procedure and getting back to our real selves. You look incredible and I'm sure you're glad you figured this out while you are still young! You deserve a huge pat on the back :-)

Thank you! I didn't see your message until just now, sorry for the delay. I need to post new pictures but I don't want want to discourage anyone-I'm the incredible shrinking woman! I must have had some swelling when I posted these pictures because I am a bit smaller and have some wrinkling :-( . Oh well, still happy I did it.

Comfy Bra

CJ Sunshine
This is a bra I’ve been wearing for years and find it to be pretty comfortable. It comes in s,m, l sizing and is really stretchy so I’ve been able to wear it since having my implants removed. I do sometimes add the privacy pads to help take up a little space and to make it compress a little more. It’s made by Bali and I usually find these at Kohl’s but I know I’ve seen them at other stores.

10 day Post-Op update

My sandpaper rash is almost totally gone and the redness from the steri-strips continues to improve. I’ve lost a little more volume but am hopeful things will fluff up a bit down the road. The left side has less volume and a dent in the top portion where there is a very faint bruise. I’m assuming this is the side that had more capsule tissue removed since it always felt a little tighter. My doctor said he removed some capsule material to “soften things” a bit. All in all I’m very happy and feel so good to have those implants gone for good. I’ve been using a form-fitting stretch bra mostly because the sports bras have been very uncomfortable. I’m still wearing a T-shirt or tank under the bra for comfort since the incisions are still tender. I’ve decided to start a list of the reasons I’m happy with my decision and invite anyone to add to it so here’s the start:
1. My breasts are warm again
2. I can put my shoulders back where they belong (I need to practice this)
3. I look lighter
4. I will be able to hug with gusto
5. I can wear shirts without fear of looking “booby”
6. I will be able to do my workouts without looking like I have flex-boobs
7. Mammograms should be easier
8. I don’t feel anything hanging on my chest wall anymore
9. My nipples no longer point to the floor (this has been great!)
10. I’m hoping to regain some sensitivity back in my breasts-time will tell

Is all of the red rash just your skin's reaction to latex? (Just trying to brace myself for my implant removal.)
January 6, 2018
Hi! Yes, I think it was all due to the latex & whatever solution they used to disinfect my skin. The rash from the solution went away quicker than the redness & itching from the tape. That took awhile to clear up but it quit itching before it actually went away completely. It was discolored for a long time. When do you go for your removal?

I have not scheduled a date yet. Life always seems so busy that I have worried about the down time. I am planning for this summer 2018 but also want to see a couple more doctors.
January 7, 2018
I’m sure you’ll choose the right doctor and there’s no reason to rush. It’s funny, once you decide & set a surgery date it’s hard to wait! Keep reading posts and comments, it will really help :-)
