Excited!! My Countdown to the New Me Begins! - Stockbridge, GA

I can't remember the last time I logged onto this site it's been quite a long time.
Well just a quick update things have healed up very nicely. Getting back to work and back into my normal routine was an small adjustment. The last update was a concern of my nipples. I had the free nipple graft and wasn't fully aware of the outcome from the fng. Well as of now my nipples have healed up very well. Both are closed completely. The right nipple is still trying to get its full pigmentation back. I still have very visible scars but hey that comes with any surgery. The best part I am off Naproxen for chronic migraines.. I couldn't believe that the weight of my breast was the cause of my migraines. I've recently rejoined the gym. Exercising had become so much easier. Hopefully soon I can get back to running and enjoying it without the girls flopping in my face.
I hope for those who have had the surgery you are all doing well and for those thinking about it, go for it!!

I haven't been on here for awhile. Well lets see since my last post I had another post op appoinment. PS said everything looks great. As far as my nipples they are healing very well. A lot of the scabs have come off and I've noticed a big change about 3 weeks ago. My left side is healing faster than righty. The pigemantation is starting to come back on the left. My right nipple is healing slowly but the outer layer is now coming back.
I'm back into my every day routine. I went back to work this Wednesday. I'm so glad that I took the full 6 weeks off from work. That was plenty of time for my body to heal and get some much needed rest. It was an slight adjustment but not as bad as I thought it would be. I only have slight shooting pain a few times a day depending on what type of activity I'm doing. Overall I love how small I am. I haven't gone on my clothes and bra shopping spree yet. Will give it another month or so.

Well nothing new has really changed with the exception of the dead skin that is now starting to come off from my nipples. I was getting really down about it but I can see where the pigementation is beginning to form. And the funny thing well probably more of a blessing I've been having a tingling feeling in my nipples. I told my nurse, Alice and she said that is wonderful!! When you have a free nipple graft you loose sensation in your nipples. I can definitely feel something there, which is good. That means the nerves and tissues are starting to reconnect. So I'm keeping my head and a big thank you to all of the ladies here on Real Self for your words of encouragement.
