I HAD a Huge Chest - Raleigh, NC

I forgot to add this to my previous review. I have been so constipated on and off since surgery almost a month ago. It really hurts to even go when I feel like I am constipated. If this keeps being a problem I guess I will have to start taking something for it. As for itching, that started like within the week of surgery. I know that is a sign of healing and it's ok. It really hits me at night though, more of a mind thing tho. I try to just rub the area instead of scratching, which makes it seem to spread. I still will take these side effects over not having had the surgery. I am happy and it's well worth it.

Well almost a month after my surgery. Got my surface stitches taken out that were in my areola, and my PS pulled off the steri strips off. I was so nervous when I knew that those stitches had to be taken out, but to my surprise I did not feel them being taken out by the nurse. She cut the knot then just pulled the stitch. The PS gave me a little tube like thing of vitamin E gel. I massage that gel directly on the incision lines after every shower I take. After my appointment I did feel a little soreness and saw some redness on the incision under my breasts. I feel great though. I was one of the lucky few that can take off atleast month or so from work to heal. I go back to work exactly a month after my surgery date. I have been kinda bored tho, trying to find things to do. I can't wait till my PS clears me to start working out. He said about another week or so.

Sleeping on my back is a nightmare. My back is feeling it too. I feel really good tho, about my breast size and the smallness that I only dreamed of. I also have been getting the what I call "zaps" of slight pain in my breasts that lasts only seconds. But I know they are only the nerve endings trying to find a "home". Some pictures from about 1 week or so post op.
