Almost two weeks post op and I'm feeling great! I don't have to wear any compression garments anymore and I only take pain medications a couple of times a week. I am so happy with the results so far. This Thursday I get all of the steri strips off and can officially start scar therapy. Several friends are scheduling consult appointments with my doctor, he is so great.

One week post op and I almost feel like my old self again. Almost. The new boobs don't feel like they are a part of my body at all. Feels like I am wearing a bulky push up bra all the time. I go in for another post op appointment tomorrow. I don't know what to expect. I wonder how long I am going to be so swollen. Does anyone know when the swelling should go away? I am a good 8 lbs heavier than before surgery and I hate it. The steristrips came off of my belly button in the shower and it looks pretty brutal right now. Wish I was could lay on my side instead of on my back but at least I am back in my own bed now. Starting to get anxious, a little cabin fever?

I was feeling so good today I decided to cook and clean for the family but I really over-did it a bit. Took a shower and it was the best. I would like to take pictures but I keep forgetting. I'll post pics as soon as I remember but I am very happy with the results.

I am so right there with you. I spent most of the day downstairs with the family and helped my dh clean and do housework. If my back didn't hurt so dang much I could do more. But I know I need to rest too. I didn't even nap all day which is the first time since surgery. Happy healing and get some rest!

Congratulations!!! Now I'm all excited for mine to get here....I just hope I can be like you!
