WORTH IT$7,300
Well Im on day 5...I see people talking about their swelling and stuff I feel and look so swollen I dont know if my compression garmet is tight enough and it keeps riding up and rubbing on my breasts. I think im healing well one side of my incision is really nice but the other side is kinda lumpy haha. I tried to take a shower yesterday but that was a big fail. I got in the shower and was so nauseated so needless to say it was a fast shower cause I DID NOT want to throw up. I just get a uneasy feeling when the CG is off do any of you have that feeling or problem. But on the good side I weighed my self and i have lost 12lbs yay. Sleeping has not been that bad but I tried to sleep in bed lastnight and my husband moved so much i think i will be sleeping on the couch again. Hope every one is doing great

You look great! Swelling does suck and we all know what you are going through. Hang in there as it is an up and down process. I wasn't allowed to shower for 10 weeks (yes, weeks) and when I did I put a chair in the shower so I could sit down. We also got a handheld shower head installed to make it easier for me. I still shower that way. I've had an open wound so that is why all the extras.
And yes, I remember how hard it was to get used to any sensations w/out the CG on. Hated the feeling. It was like you were going to fall apart w/out the added support. That all gets better too. So relax and take care of yourself. You are on the healing side now :)

Swelling is terrible...It gets worse! I am 3 months po and still experience horrible swelling...The only time I'm not swollen is when I wake up in the morning but it quickly swells once I start my day.
