Today I went bikini shopping and for the first...

  • 18 Apr 2012
Today I went bikini shopping and for the first time in my life, I actually LOVED the way I looked! The girls are looking great, they're dropping nicely. I can't enough how happy I am with my results, Dr. Pousti achieved perfection!

Went to the gym for the first time since surgery!...

  • 11 Apr 2012
Went to the gym for the first time since surgery! I've been doing walks around the neighborhood but really missed my usual workouts...now that it's been 2 weeks since surgery I got clearance to go back. Did a more mild version of my normal cardio and a bunch of leg weights. No upper body, that won't be for a few more weeks. I've also started daily massages...it actually feels really good, can't wait to see the results in a few weeks!

So I had my first post-op appointment yesterday...

So I had my first post-op appointment yesterday and it went perfectly! Dr. says that everything looks good!! It was the first time I had taken off the surgical bra and it felt great...not to mention I finally got to look at the new me! I have to say, I was VERY pleased. Dr. Pousti and I never really talked about a size before surgery (ie B cup, C cup, 300 cc vs 400cc). He is both an artist and a excellent surgeon and from his past work, I knew that he would give me what I wanted which was the most natural look possible, proportionate to my size. And while the girls are still swollen and riding high, I think he did exactly that. So to sum it up, couldn't be happier with the results so far!

At my post-op appt, I got the okay to shower and was told to hold off on massages until I see him again next week. I've also started wearing another bra ( Warner's brand, bought at Kohls) half the time which is nice because it's not as tight as the compression bra. The shower after the post-op appt was heaven, the warm water really relaxes all those muscles! I haven't really had any pain recently, just chest tightness/pressure. I'm slowly gaining more range of motion with my arms and have graduated from wearing only button down shirts (yay!). I LOVE the way I look in all my clothes now!

I have to admit, as much as I like the doctor, I didn't really get to spend too much time with him. Plus his staff was not very on the ball. There was confusion as to when my follow up appointment would be (one lady told me the day after, another told me 2days later, and today I was told it wouldn't be until Monday). Also, I was told at my pre-op appointment that my schedule was at 8:15am only to receive a call the day before surgery from the surgery center telling me that my surgery wasn't until 11am. Never heard a word from the doctor's office, thank god the surgery center people confirmed the time.
