2 weeks
So it has been two weeks and one day, and I'm feeling quite good. I still have points during the day where I feel tight on the incisions or the surgical bra rubs on them. Besides that, I don't have any pain.
I am still sleeping on my back and it hurts to roll onto my side. I'm showering and getting the incisions wet now and changing the tape every few days.
I was told not to massage, just stretch my shoulders back and lift my arms up.
I am still wearing the surgical bra 24 hours a day, 7 days a week....I hate it!
My breads are still up high and feel very firm to touch. I have been walking daily, but told not to do cardio for another week to allow the stitches to dissolve without any pressure or trauma from exercise added to it.
Otherwise, I'm feeling great and really happy with them.
I have noticed this week that the swelling has gone done a little as the bra is feeling a little loose and I had to tighten it a bit.
My next appointment is at the six week Mark.
Can't wait to have them soften up and drop a little, just so they look and feel
More natural! But for now, I'm enjoying firm and very perky breasts!

One week done
Had my first week check up. They changed the tapes over and said the stitches were dissolving and the healing was looking good. I'm back at work and feeling very little pain. Just pressure on my sternum. I'm walking a few kilometres everyday and I think that is really helping to get things moving. Swelling is starting to go done as I can now clasp all the hooks on my surgical bra. I was told I could fully shower now...yay!
I return in a week to get any remaining stitches out. Can't believe it's been a week already.
They are still really hard and I have a little numbness on parts of my breasts.
All in all I'm happy with how it has gone so far.

4 days post op
Well today I started to feel more like myself. I walked for half an hour in the morning and again in the afternoon. I have no pain, only some numbness and pressure on the chest. I am thinking my surgical bra is too tight as the moment I release the clips in the bra the pressure feeling go away. My incision area is starting to get itchy and I find myself scratching it all the time. This morning my breasts felt like they do when you are breast feeding and they are full and you need to release them.
My breasts are still hard as rocks at the top and inner area, but are slightly softening on the outer breast. I have keep up the Metamucil and it has helped a lot in keeping me regular and my stomach from not swelling so much.
Still struggling to sleep in my back slightly elevated. Tonight I'll just sleep flat on my back.
I am really happy with everything so far. Walking today was great and I suggest to others to walk around slowly as much as possible.
I am so looking forward to them softening up and to the pressure going away.

Provider Review
Morris Ritz listened to me, answered all my questions as silly as some may have been. He made me feel at ease and even saw me again to answer some more questions. He was very good and I am glad I went with him.
