Clarification: take Tylenol (acetaminophen) not Advil

Just in case someone out there is reading this review very closely. I mentioned I took Advil for pain at first. I found out from my PS this is the wrong choice as it quickly thins the blood - something you don't want to do when you have incisions! Tylenol (acetaminophen) is the better choice.

Hi JB! I'm doing well - just super busy at work and school. (So much for summer vacation!) I realize I didn't get back to you on your personal message. I'll get to that right now. But overall I'm doing really well. Healing nicely, although the left one seems to be lagging the right still in terms of loose skin and the scar. Hoping it will catch up :/ Still happy though :)

You go girl! You look amazing! I'm so happy for you and for your results. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story with me - you have no idea how much this helps to boost my confidence with the decision to remove mine after 20 years. :)

3 pounds?!

emmarieJuly 6, 2013
On a bit of a whim, I decided to weigh myself in the middle of the day (something I normally only do in the morning). Rationally this makes sense, but still I had a complete jaw drop to see I weighed 3 pounds under my usual weight. Three pounds less weight on my chest?! Wow, to think of all that 'weight training' I've done while running with these bags! I can't wait to start up again (I know, I promised to wait at least 4 weeks)!

This journey is just full of little surprises and adjustments!

4 days post...

Four days post and feeling good! Almost too good, I need to be sure I don't over do it! I 'jogged' across the street yesterday and it felt like I had two sandbags on me! They may be small but the loose skin is no joke and it was a good lesson to learn - no matter how supportive the bra!

Things are almost back to normal routine, minus the exercise, but that will come in time. I also think My feeling more comfortable in my clothes will come in time... I am feeling a little self conscious and out of shape, but I did just get my period the day after surgery, so thanks for that double whammy universe!

As for the healing, so far I think the right is doing a little better than the left, but I hope it will catch up. (Reminder to self: it's only been 4 days!!!)

Still I am so happy I have my energy back - and can't thank this community enough for your support!

What an amazing result. I'm at almost 6 weeks and I'm totally happy but hoping they will move up more I still wear two sports bras 24.7. I also have about 15 to 20 pounds to loose.
