WORTH IT
Hi everyone! I know its been awhile but I have been doing great. Recovery has been successful and wonderful. Still adjusting to my new look and clothes, etc but all in all I love it. Feels good to be without the pain and pressure that came with oversized breast. I can that having this surgery is one of my best decisions I've made:-)

I am 25 days post-op and I feel great. I'm still sore around my side where I was cut and I still have numbness on both rest along the side. I'm healing great for incisions have started to turn to my natural skin color. I'm still adjusting to having small boobs. I think I look funny in my clothes due to knowing nothing but big boobs all my life. But it feels great not to carry around a grand total of 8lbs, 4lbs per breast. My dr happily removed 3lbs per breast, a total of 6lbs. I am still swollen but I believe I will be a C cup once the swelling goes away. I'm loving thw new me. Going into the new year with a new body and will starting my new job at our hospital here soon. So I'm looking forward to the blessings that awaits me in 2013. Hope you ladies had a wonderful Christmas and enjoy your Happy New Year. Pictures coming soon:-)

My heart is singing for you ! Your before photos remind me of me and when I read your diary I realise there is hope for me to enjoy 40+ without pain, embarrassment and self consciousness. I am glad you mentioned the sex too btw ... my breasts have been ruining my self confidence and sex life with my wonderful husband for years. He always tells me he loves everything about me but I don't love myself and that's the problem.
Congratulations to you and thank you for your inspiring story ... I hope you have recovered fully now and are enjoying a lighter, more comfortable and more confident YOU :)

you never realise how many other people feel like you until you join an inspiring and encouraging website like this one. you are more than welcome and your so not alone at all. i struggle with the same things all my life. when you dont feel confident with your hubsand it shows and it shouldnt be that way with the man you plan on spending the rest of your life with who will see you naked for jus as long. my husband stares at me with looks in his eyes have never seen before. the way my clothes use to fit doesnt look like that anymore and his actions shows me that he is more attracted to me than he was before. that makes me feel great to know it went a step up in the attraction area than down. so yes there is hope for you to enjoy life in a confident and sexier, loving and happy form and it will draw your husband even closer to you, maybe a little to close like mine....lol. be encouraged and i wish the very very best to you and your husband. i do have more updated pics to post so keep an eye out. happy new year to you as well. god bless

Hi there! I am in Macon also...just had my BR on Dec. 17. Recovering well. I went from a DDD to probably a C (not sure yet- as they are still hard as a rock and swollen a bit) I also had my surgery at the Med Center in Macon and woke up wearing that SAME surgical bra with the velcro drain holders that you have on in that picture! LOL. I went to Renaissance Plastic Surgery Center for mine...Dr. Syribey. He is awesome! Let me know how your doing! :)

I went to the dr on Monday for my second check up since the surgery. My stitches were remove and so was my surgery tape was taken off. So happy for that bc he holds an awful smell, lol. My dr said I was healing great and the swelling has started to go down. I'm still unable to reach, carry, hold, or lift anything 10lbs or more. No longer taking the pain meds so he ssaid I can drive and go about life in a safe manner. I haven't been anywhere where there are large crowds. Afraid I may be hit or bumped the wrong way but it feels good to be able to get out of the house. My next appointment is January 10th. I'm still confined to sleeping on my back or side but not my stomach. I am in love with my new set of twins. Still adjusting to the look and being able to do things that I was unable to do. Even sex with my husband is different bc I don't have my huge boobs all over the place, LOL! (Sorry if that was TMI, jus being honest). But none the less I'm happy I did it. The best decision medically ever! What a great way to end 2012 and start 2013. We are planning on going on a cruise in October for our anniversary and I am super excited:-) thanks to everyone for your encouarging words, advice, support, and love. It helped more than u will ever know. Will keep you posted on my recovery with pic's to follow!
