WORTH IT
4 weeks and feeling amazing. I've been battling a bad rash/ reaction from the tape/ glue. Ugh! So glad it's cleared up and I can focus on healing! How hard to you "massage" your incisions? That's been weird. They say I can return to real life at week 6... so after Thanksgiving I can start working on getting more fit so that these cute boobies go with a cute body!! ;-)

Better every day! Pain still on the sides inside and a little underneath- I guess where I am stitched up inside. And I feel *tight*. I have been putting gauze in between where my bras rub. Today the nipples feel a little "raw"... I think from doing a lot of walking yesterday and having my shirt rub. Sleeping is a problem, still. Laying on my back is just not comfortable all night. Last night I was able to lay propped up a little on my side. But I still wake up over and over. And I've been having restless legs. Cannot believe I did it, still! :-) Very happy... now I need to lose the belly fat! :-)

Hi, have you tried a pillow or two under your knees? That helps me. Also taking pain meds before bed. I'm also wearing a vest under my bra to improve comfort.
