Super Nervous for This Long-awaited BA! - Los Angeles, CA

Happy with progress! It's so funny how they really look just like they used to except bigger, just as the doc predicted. Leftie is still sore and nerves still regrowing over there. Rightie has had a dream recovery.

Hey all, one month today! Feeling better day by day but still can't do so much. Things that I still can't do: drive stickshift comfortably, shave my armpits comfortably, sleep any way except on my back, work out, get less than 9 hours of sleep without feeling insanely bad the next day, wear any sort of bra/bathing suit besides the surgical one they gave me. This last thing is particularly annoying now, as I'd love to have the freedom to actually wear normal shirts and bathing suits, but I can't because the only bras that work right now are huge. Definitely not ready for sexy stuff yet. Anything that pulls the boobs up or presses them even gently (halters, etc), feels pretty much terrible.

This aint a picnic, people.

I really have nothing to say but nice things. Marisol and Joselle are incredibly helpful and supportive, and Dr. Bruno is everything I'd want a surgeon to be: cool, calm, collected, and best of all, not sleazy or pushy. (Plastic surgeons get a bad rap, what can I say!) Honestly I don't have a lot to compare him to since I only went to one surgeon ever. That might sound crazy but after doing a lot of research online, I felt like the reviews spoke for themselves. And once I had my consultation I figured, what else could I want? It felt I was in very capable hands.
I'm also particularly fond of the swag. You get all kinds of little goodies along the way but I won't ruin the surprise :)
