4 weeks exactly today and i must say its been a journey. The sensitivity on the nipples is slowly going away. The pain on my side boob/ribs is definetly getting better but not gone completly. I still dont feel 100%. I got the green light to start lower legs and ab work out . I started the scar away treatment this past tuesday . To soon to tell if its working but i can say i see a diffrence in the scar getting flattened. I do massage the scar once the strips are on it. I am still sleeping on my back but i was given the ok to sleep on my sides. I am in love with my size and the outcome. I just wasnt prepared for the soreness /pain to last this long. It is getting better day by day so patience is key .

You are def going to feel sore . Not sure if you have kids but its like being engorged. Or if you work out and your super sore. I advise you to get a front zipper sports bra and a travel neck pillow and a back pillow . I bought mine from ross and it definitely helped me out big time.

Thanks for the advice the zipper sports bra looks more comfortable than the clasp...I have no kids but I know the feeling from a big work out... he did an amazing job on you... I will continue to follow your journey

Yes he did an awesome job . Im almost a year out and i feel back to my old self. Its still a bit uncomfortable doing push ups or pull ups but I'm getting there. Be patient and follow the post op instructions to the Tee and you will be fine. If you have any questions let me know, i know how it is . You picked an awesome surgeon for sure

I have a good pain tolerance but to me it was like when your breast are engorged . I would say a 5 . And continued until day 3-4 . But again to me it was a sore sensitive pain , if that makes sense. I used tramadol until day 4 after just used tylenol extra strength until day 7 . Oh i did use ice pack religiously i think that helped also .

Def dry straight to the point. Don't expect a warm fussy long talk with him . He is a busy doc ! My personal experience was good . I wasn't expecting anything else since i read reviews prior. I must say he does give u his personal cell and he responds immediately for his post op patients . I enjoyed him as a surgeon .
