I'm 4 months out now and I feel great. I admit I have some numbness under my left breast, but other than that I'm very very happy with my results. Photos never quite so justice, but when comparing my pre op pics to what I see now, I'm very happy.

New bras
KcbtynApril 10, 2015
Ok, the sports bra is Chantelle (love the clasp at the shoulder blades) and the dailies are Natori - apparently a very popular bra for the well-endowed

Thank you for the bra advice. I am not finding VS bras to be comfortable. I will go to Nordstrom's at the MOA and try on those brand of bras!

I am not very impressed by VS. I don't think all the sales associates are properly trained in measuring women. I asked to be measured and she spent literally 5 seconds measuring..barely tightening the measuring tape and declared I was a 34B. I'm currently fitting into 34C bras. She also went over my clothes..so I don't know if that's the norm or not. I'm also going to Nordstrom's at the MOA next time I'm in the Cities.

So happy to help! Yes, ask for a fitting and they'll bring you all kinds of sizes and styles.

4.5 weeks - dropping slowly but surely - and bra shopping (DDD)!!
KcbtynApril 10, 2015
It's been a while...again! So, here's the skinny: I went to my 3 week checkup, only to wait 70 minutes for the doctor and have to leave. (At least I got my scar gel!) I was upset, but this has happened to my clients when the receptionist goofs up, so I understood. Dr. T called me, offered me a Saturday or Sunday appointment and gave me his cell number.
I was in on Monday for what became a 4 week check. I'm s-l-o-w-l-y dropping. Left is ahead of right still. Dr. T says my pockets are a little tight, and I am to be more vigorous in my displacement exercises. I am not as sore, so that's not as difficult now, and I'm doing better remembering to do it between clients. Dr. T also told me to start vitamin E massages on my scars. I'm thankful that others here have mentioned what they do, because Dr. T didn't give much instruction. I bought a roll-one stick at the Co-Op, but I find it really tacky and tough to use.
Excitingly, I am cleared to jog, but Dr. T suggested I be careful because while my heart/lungs may be ready, my breasts may not. I am going on vacation on 05/01, so I need to get my fitness on! Thus, I traveled to Nordstrom at the Mall of America to get fitted for a bra. Heather attended to me and was great. I was shocked to be measured at 30", and recommended for a 32 or 34 bra. I was even more surprised to have Heather bring me a DDD size!!!! I was only going for a full C or maybe D. No boob envy here! I got a great running bra (Chantelle is the brand) with under wires - per Dr. T's instruction. It was $68, but on sale (thank you price matching!). I purchased some other Chantelle bras as well. As much as the bra was much more expensive than my old Champion bands, it was nice to get the proper size - I don't think I ever wore the right size before (they had me in a 36 at one point). And after having a doctor push on my boobs for a few weeks in a row, I had no issue with a woman helping me in and out of some bras! After we determined my size, Heather ran back and forth with different options. I ended up buying 3 "daily" bras and some matching panties, too - I have not yet been cleared to wear a bra (gravity needs to help me drop first), but with Nordstrom's great return policy (no time limit) and the sale, I figured it made more sense to buy them while I was there. Now that I know my size, I can shop online. Even so, I'm getting used to going braless. Perhaps those days will be nearing an end in the next few weeks. I'll post pics separately!
