3 1/2 weeks - back to work. Glad for the normalcy but exhausted.

4 weeks PO Finally standing straight most of the time.

5 weeks PO Got the lovely ken doll package

6 weeks PO spitting stitch
Aside from that and from my TT scar at this early point seeming a little wider on one side than the other (the side I sleep on and the side with spit stitch) I'm totally hyped about the tummy. Bellybutton looks awesome - haven't had a "normal" one in 27 years! That said - I'll prob have a dog ear to fix on the left hip.
So - right breast is a little lower has less upper pole fullness and the areola looks larger than the left... but the left had the trauma and the re-surgery - so it's 3 weeks behind the other. Hopefully it'll even out = otherwise will revise early summer. Either way - they definitely feel much better. I'm loving the silicone over saline!
Cleared for scar therapy - biocorneum 12 hours, silicone strips 12 hours.
Cleared for 12 hours of compression wear - CG or Spanx. I'd been going 24/7 for a solid 5 weeks.
Cleared for yoga and cardio as my body dictates.
Go back in a month - right around 10 weeks. Got lots of pics to post and will do those soon....

why do your site updates sound like you have progression and you're doing well and your pictures look great, considering the recovery and complications, but your review of the dr is so terrible?? did you get the lopsided-ness of the breasts fixed?

So Lefty McBoob is looking much better now that she lost 400cc of bloody hematoma yuckiness. Still a bit of swelling to go before she matches Righty Breasterson but she'll get there.
I had been so happy to get rid of the tummy drains and I got a new drain with the breast hematoma op. Lost that frenemy today. Drain free (again) and still amazed how much better the loss of those things feels.
First day back at work- on my feet all day but it's nice to be back in the swing of normalcy. That said - I'll be in bed by 8:30.
My goal now is just to get my energy back so I can walk a bit on the treadmill and do some squats ;) One day at a time...

Well - that left breast has been troublesome. 3 weeks po today and had an appt with my ps. Hematoma. Back to the OR in the morning but I'm glad to get it taken care of so my results will be as fantastic as possible ;) May have a drain but will have to wait and see after surgery tomorrow.
All else looks really good. Got my stitches out and the tummy scar is looking good, thin and low.
