WORTH IT$3,000
I guess I've pretty much had the same experience as everyone else on here: oversized boobies; back/shoulder/neck pain; absurd floppy soreness and rashes from exercising; difficulty finding well-fitting clothes; general discomfort; droop droop droooooop. (although the droop is mostly attributed to losing 25 pounds over the past few years)
I've wanted to get rid of these things forever so I did research for about a year, started a new job with great benefits, met with PS, applied to the insurance company to pay for the reduction, got approved pretty quickly, then had the surgery this morning!
and they are SO MUCH SMALLER IT IS AMAZING. My shoulders feel so great and I didn't know how easy it was gonna be just standing up straight. Boyfriend is a little sad, but is happy that I am happy.
I'm in very little pain and only took one oxy about 7 hours ago, so things are lookin good. I'm gonna start working from home tomorrow and go back to work this coming Monday.
Will update when I get to see more of them.

I was in so little pain after the surgery yesterday that my boyfriend and I just took the subway home.

Are you in any pain today?

I'm definitely experiencing more discomfort than I was yesterday, but not enough to justify taking any more oxy.

I took one percocet the day of surgery before I left the hospital and I have not needed any more, but now (17 days post) I am actually having more discomfort than I did the first 12 days. Nothing horrible--kind of like a sunburn on the inside. I am still taking it easy and wearing the post-surgery bra provided by my PS, all the bruising is gone and my incisions are 98% closed and healing well, so I think the pain is just nerves turning back on after being severed. All of this is just to say don't rush yourself. Take it easy when you need to :)

That's awesome! I was the same. I was out dress shopping the day after surgery. Never needed anything more than a Tylenol for discomfort. Congrats!

Recovery is tiring.
Klo45December 3, 2016
Yesterday was pretty rough pain/discomfort-wise. It feels as if my tissues have just figured out that they're not where they normally are and have decided to reject their situation. I've been really tired and sleeping a ton, and for some reason do not have much of an appetite at all. I've been forcing myself to eat, and after every small meal, I get so tired and often just fall asleep where I'm sitting.
I've definitely not been eating enough so today I went to a Korean bbq restaurant for dinner and consumed as many calories as I could in one sitting. Besides tiring, I also get stomach aches after every meal, and I've had exclusively diarrhea since the surgery. BUT, I had digestive issues prior; they just seem to have worsened since the operation (could have something to do with antibiotic...or the anesthesia...who knows. I'm seeing my gastroenterologist soon and hopefully she'll give me some insight)
Anyways, I've attached some photos from today. I'm really happy with how my breasts have turned out so far. I look like a whole different person!!! And I've thrown away so many of my clothes that are now way too baggy for my new frame. I am hoping though that I get more sensitivity as I recover.

You look great! It's encouraging seeing such positive results.
If you don't mind me asking, who was your surgeon?
I hope your appetite returns and your recovery becomes easier soon.
