WORTH IT
I remember being so flat as a young girl that my mom bought me a t-shirt that said "I belong to the itty bitty [RS bleep] committee". Tenth grade rolled around and I blossomed. I've had large boobs ever since. I've always loved to be active in sports and outdoor activities but have had to settle for being less involved than I'd like to be. My posture is poor and I have major indentions in my shoulders from my bra straps. My back and my neck are always in pain. Enough is enough and thankfully, my insurance is covering my BR! Tomorrow is the big day and I'm filled with excitement and optimism. I look forward to getting the weight off my chest and starting a new chapter in my life!

Ooh, I hope your surgery went well! Your bikini pics look great, but I know how that feels - why on earth do they make halter style tops for breasts like ours? Wearing mine is a precarious adventure at the beach, my cups runneth over and I get terrible headaches from the weight on my neck. I just got insurance approval and eagerly await my follow up with my PS on 6/15 to discuss scheduling, post op care and size. Best wishes for a great recovery, I'm sure they turned out fabulous!

Day 3 post-op and I'm feeling good. My new size feels perfect! Instant relief. I've been sleeping a lot and eating healthy foods. Drinking lots of water is extremely healthy. I have been using a camelback for my water which has made it super easy to stay hydrated. Started to take walks without using too much strain. Transitioning from the pain pills to Advil as I am not feeling a lot of pain. Drinking some Milk of Magnesia has helped me stay regular while taking the pain pills. I feel like the healing is going very well. I will post more picts later.

Love the shiny bra! Take it easy and rest, I'm so glad you are on the other side! Maybe you still have your shirt? ;)
