I was a skinny girl with big breast growing up. I had my first son at 18 and my second son at 30. I breast feed. I will never regret that but it caused my breast to be different sizes plus large. I was a size F... I had emergency C-section with first son and was forced to have another dye to my scar being vertical on my stomach ... I finally tried Mt insurance for breast reduction and my husband paid for tummy tuck. I was blessed again with a beautiful body. Finally after 18 years of ugly and humiliating ...

That's good. Are you able to stand up straight? The burning you described I have too but it seems to be getting better each week. I had terrible back pain from being hunched over but at four weeks I am walking better. Hang in there!

Not sure if it's just me, but it doesn't appear I can see your entire review! Anyway, I'm happy to see another Dr. Jacob's patient on here! My surgery is in two days. When I registered, the woman with GSMC (the hospital I'll have my procedure in) told me that in her experience, Dr. Jacobs does beautiful work.

Maybe it's in your review, but when did you have your procedure with him and which ones did he do?

Getting out of Hospital

Getting out of Hospital after that 1 day of surgery was Ruff!!! I had this binder (which was a Girdle from $%@#) and a wrap around my breast..... *** that is a mess to have to wear for 10 days after my bulbs are taken out. I'm still waiting for those ten days cuz I got my bulbs out on March 31... But today I'm cheating an going without anything on my breast for awhile.. I'll give it an hour an I'll get paranoid and pit it back on... I'm still waiting for pain in my dissolvable stitches to dissolve already an pain to go away!!! I'm still walking lime a zombie too and it's been since March 21 from surgery but I can happily say everyday I seem to get somewhat better... Still taking meds.. But scared to run out cuz I don't want to be stuck with no pain meds.. Idk looking forward to Future real fast so I can enjoy my New Body!!!

I found the binder to hurt so bad snd i was so glad to transition into the bodysuit that i been wearing. Sleeping too has been a challenge (how is that for you?) I'm not a back sleeper so I am looking forward to being on my stomach when allowed. It's all worth it and every day I hope gets better for you like it has for me. You are gonna love your new you!

Ty! And am loving my new Body an feeling more confident each day as my pain goes away a little more... I an sleeping on my side with my binder an wrap around my breast but I have a soft feather pillow under my head an another in between my legs... I hope you can try that maybe an hope it would help for you too... I never heard about the bodysuit I may need to look into that to keep this expensive body tight! My sleeping has been better sleeping like I said.. It works great for me!
