9/4 Update

WORTH IT
Hey guys! Just a quick update since it's been almost a month since I last posted. Everything is going well. I'm back to my normal college routine, except now I don't always have to wear a bra and my clothes look a million times better on! This semester has already been so much more enjoyable. No back ache, neck ache, or chronic headaches anymore. The breast reduction was SO worth it for me. I wish the same for all of you!

Hey everyone! Just a quick update. It's been 6 weeks since my surgery, and my incisions are healing very nicely. The opening at the T-intersection has closed up, and I've been wearing a wireless bra from Soma for about 2 weeks. As of right now I measure as a 36DD, but that will likely go down since swelling can last as long as 6 months to a year. Soon summer classes will end, and the Fall semester will begin! New school year, new boobs. Can't wait :)

You look great!!! I'm having surgery 9/16 and I cannot wait! I've waited 5 years for this! Question for you, I read in a couple blogs that for the first few days you have no range of motion of your arms because it hurts so bad, is that true for?? Is there anything you wish you would've been told prior to having surgery? Again, you look great!! :)

Thank you so much! And honestly my first couple of days weren't that bad, but there was one day that I was in a lot of pain and also felt really cooped up in my house. So I guess I'd say to expect that you may have a bad day or even a bad week, and that's okay! Everyone's different, and some people struggle with completely different things than others. I was actually anxious about my range of motion so much that I didn't rest nearly enough bc they do recommend to move around a bit. But I was constantly up and looking for things to do around the house. But take advantage of the rest time! I definitely should have. In terms of my range of motion, it wasn't impossible to move my arms, but during showers I had a hard time reaching everything, and putting on clothes was a slight challenge, but it goes away before you know it! It's also really nice when you have someone to help you at least in the beginning. And if you normally get nauseous from pain medicine, I would definitely recommend asking about a nausea patch! It helped me A LOT. Hope this helps! Also, I'm so excited for you! It's 100% worth it. :)

Thank you for the advice!! My husband will definitely be helping me out and I'll make sure to rest! That's good to hear that it wasn't too bad with the range of motion! Luckily pain pills don't make me nauseous, just loopy and sleepy!!

I know I'm a couple days early for an exact 3 week update, but I had my steri strips removed so I had to post. I can finally see my nipples and incisions! Everything looks great, and my only issue is a slight separation on my right breast at the T-intersection. I'll just have to let it heal though. Other than that, everything has been great and is gradually getting better! I've been attending class regularly and have had no issues with everyday activities. I hope to be in a regular (wireless) bra soon and will be using the NewGel+ breast kit to care for my incisions!
