Hmm received ps report today!Was anyone else surprised by what was taken off!572 grams off right 488 off left!
June 6, 2012
My PS removed 3.8 pounds or 1,724 grams (total). OUCH ! I am glad it is gone . I was A 40H and now I am a 40C-D depending on the bra. I am feeling great and I officially give up on trying to be productive right now. I tried to vaccume and wound up quiting cause it made my boobies ache. Now I am iceing the boobs and reading posts. Thanks for all your support.

You are looking great by the way. How are you feeling now a month out ? What has been the nicest change for you so far ? Have you REALLY not purchased a smaller bra yet ?

Hi Duke! So glad to hear you're doing well and you're still healing well and are hapy!

I started a thread on another forum that included all the so-called recovery bras I've been reading about. They're not reall recovery bras, though, just NOT surgical bras. Lots of other people hacve chimed in too, so you may get some ideas there. Here's the link:

Keep checking in with us! It's always so great to hear updates as people get further along in their recovery!

Thank you for your thoughts duke62, My surgery went fantastically :O) I am currently on recovery day 3 and I feel awsome. As far as any pain goes I have none. Sometimes I get a twinge of discomfort but even that stays below a 2 on a pain scale. My biggest complaint is this dang Trlenol3 makes me soooo groggy. For full details and recovery pics check out my profile. hope your recovery is progressing nicely. take great care of yourself. :O)
