WORTH IT
I went to work today for the first time.
The first shift went well so well that I took another shift. I do not recommend working a double shift 16 hours your first day back. I'm plum worn out. So much walking and standing. The weight of the stab proof vest was a killer. My girls are really barking tonight. I didn't think I would be so sore.
Thanks for all your great comments!

I went to PS today. He told me that I looked great. No problems, He was impressed on how well my incisions look. Still a little swollen under the breast. He told me no underwire bras yet but soon. I can go back to work and he will see me in 2 months.
I went to Victoria's and had them fit me. I'm a 36 C and I found one wireless bra and one underwire (it has gel around the wire. WOW does that bra fit great! I wasn't too happy about my small boobs but with VS they look GREAT!! So happy.
I will go back to Prison (that's where I work) tomorrow for my first shift with my new girls. I wonder what will be said by the inmates. They notice everything about the staff. I wear scrubs and a stab proof vest so hoping people won't see or say too much.
I will post pictures of the pretty bright blue bra, I bought it because it was on sale. I also bought a nude one.
Hope everyone is healing well.

Did your doctor say you were allowed to buy a wire bra? Mine said to wait til 4 weeks post-op. I had my surgery the day before you, on the 26th. All doctors are probably different but I'm super jealous and cannot wait to buy bras.

Well I took off the tape and had a look at my incisions. Wow I think they look great. No openings, No infection, The nipples look good. I do have a little gathering of skin under the breast but think it will go away.
I'm feeling great, I have been driving as of the 3rd day. Only on pain pills for 2 days. I really have had a very easy recovery.
I have showered without fainting or being sick.
I'm still not to sure I like the shape or size but I wil wait for a few more weeks or even months. I keep reading it takes about 6 months for them to really take shape.
I did buy a new bra, it is a 36 B. I was hoping for a C cup but again my back and neck feel better.
I few of my friends has now seen the new girls in my clothes and they tell me I look great. But are friends for to tell you, you look good.
I'm going to try to go back to work the end of next week. I work in a State Prison as a nurse so I just want to make sure the girls don't get hit by the inmates I wear a stab-proof vest in Ad Seg. I'm also a first responder so I will need to be able to lift Medical equipment and to do CPR (that is the hard part) Not sure I can do that right now. So I may have to ask for light duty for a little while.
I hope everyone post Op are healing without any problems and the Pre Op are staying calm while they are waiting for the new girls.
