Midlife and Ready to Stop Thinking About my Chest!

Finally decided to have BR after years of headaches, neck aches and shoulder pain. I was wearing a 38G, but after wearing the Bali minimizer (which was all I would wear) for a couple of hours, I would get the wire pulling free from rib cage...so no doubt I was bigger than a G.

I had met my yearly deductible and decided to see if insurance would cover the procedure. It took longer than expected (nearly a month) but was eventually approved.

Surgery went off without a hitch. Took all day to finally be taken in and the doctor kept me overnight. You gals that go home same day must be warriors, no way I could have done it. All told I had 3.25lbs taken off. I'm pleased with how they look.

I've been very nervous to take the surgical vest off. Only a teeny amount off drainage. I did have drains in, but they were removed prior to leaving the hospital. I'm weening myself off pain meds.

I purchased a recliner and travel neck pillow for sleep and I'm so glad I did. I'm a side sleeper and this has kept me firmly on my back.

I've had full arm movement so showering has been easy. In fact, I think my lack of arm soreness has contributed to me doing more than I should. Boobs are really tight and high, looking forward to them softening.
