So, it's been 3 months since my surgery & I'm still feeling blue :(
I am seeing very lil improvement in the swelling going down. I did notice that I now have no sensation in my right nipple-Dr. Says this may very likely be permanent :(

did you also research melissa johnson in the area before choosing brookes?if so what made you go with brookes

Never heard of her. I went with Dr. Brooks bc he is very known in this area. What I did fail to put into consideration was that most his work has been on Caucasian women and their bodies are built differently than Latinas, we have lots of curves and stubborn fat in different places :(

Are you compressing?? I think you look great! Just you're probably still swollen?

Depressed Big Time: Week 6 post op

I'm feeling so much better painwise; soreness is pretty much gone, just feeling tightness inside.
I'm not happy about the way I look, I'm starting to feel super depressed :(

You look great! I’m sorry you’re unhappy. Are you feeling any better now?

I will be 3 weeks post op in a couple days. I am still struggling with lack of energy

Thanks hun! I've been in a really bad funk still, I just had my 3-mth appointment with my surgeon & got cleared to exercise with no restrictions. I've been working out faithfully this entire week, including ab exercises and I'm super sore, tightness all over. My surgeon did agree to do a revision after my 6 month appointment in August of I'm still not happy.

Have you tried a high protein diet & continue taking all your vitamins.
I incorporated a b-12 vitamin which help boost energy levels, hard boiled eggs & green tea in the morning, then I have a super food shake & then my cup of coffee :) hope this helps!

So, Finally saw Dr. last Friday, 3/16, Dr. BRooks says I'm healing great, he took off all surgical tape, all incisions are completely closed & looking great, although I still feel ugly-he quickly whipped out a before pic of me and shute up...I guess being patient is the key.
