I Decided It's Not Too Late to Feel Good About Myself - Miami, FL

Nothing much new to report. I did go see my PS about a month ago just to make sure everything was ok but I was still experiencing a slight soreness on that same spot under the left side. He checked everything and said he could not find anything wrong and he felt like the soreness is just still part of the normal healing process. He said if the pain intensifies or if does not start to dimnish then we would look at it again. At this point I am not really concerned; the soreness has decreased, some days I don't notice it at all so I do think eventually it will go away alltogether. It is not bad enough so that I need to take any pain medication or anything like that.

I am very pleased with how natural my breast look; I feel like it's not obvious at all that I have had a BA and that is exactly what I was looking for. When I went for my yearly check up and pap smear a couple of months ago the Dr. seemed very surprised when I told her I had a BA in March of this year. She commented on how natural she thought they looked and also on how thin the scar line is. Still very happy with my decision!

This last Tuesday, I went for my 6 week check up with my PS. It had really been 7 weeks since the surgery as I had to reschedule my appointment from last week. He said everything looked perfect, the scar is fading and they are feeling soft like normal breasts. He said to continue with the massages and to stay away from underwire bras for another 6 weeks; he said if I want to wear one for a couple of hours here and there it's fine but not all day.
I have been feeling really good; still have a tiny bit of soreness in that spot on the left breast but most of the time it does not bother me. I can finally sleep on my tummy again; that has made a huge difference on the quality of sleep!

About three weeks ago I made my trip out of state to visit my daughter and 3 year old grandson. It was her 29th birthday during the week I was there and it was nice I got to celebrate with her; as always I had tons of fun with my grandson. I had not told my daughter about the BA, so I told her in an email a few days before my visit to king of get her used to the idea. She was very supportive, as I knew she would be, but for some reason I was still a little nervous about telling her. I still have not had any questions from anyone about the procedure although at times I have noticed a certain look that makes me think they have noticed something different.I have not really done much shopping other than I did buy another one of the Body by Victoria's bra since the one I had is so comfortable. Just enjoying the fact that all my clothes fit now like they actually were meant to fit!

I had my follow up visit with the nurse today. She said everything looks perfect and told me to come back in 4 weeks to see the PS. She said no chest, upperbody workouts but other than that I can pretty much do anything that feels comfortable. We went to the mall afterwards and although this was not part of the plan, my husband insisted that I go to Victoria's Secret to get at least one pretty bra. Of course I was fighting him all the way on this but finally agreed :) The sales lady took one look at me and said she thought I needed a 34D. I said are you sure? so she measured me and said again 34D. I think I looked like I didn't believe her so she said take the C and the D in the dressing room and try them both. She was right, the C was tight and the D fit perfectly! Check out my picture here in the new bra.
