Stitches Are Out: Feeling more natural these days
$6,700
So last Tuesday, I got my stitches out! I was a little nervous while waiting for the doc, but he was so quick, I hardly knew what happened. They put more steri-strips on said I could wear any comfortable bra I wanted to. So, went to Target & just picked up a non-underwire bra. Nothing fancy.
The pics posted are from today & just showing you my incision and feel like I'm healing fairly quick. It felt so good to FINALLY SHAVE. I've worn a few tanks with cami bra (as shown) and my boobs actually feel like they've been apart of me already.
My only complaint thus far in my journey is my left side breast hasn't officially dropped yet and is looking a bit bigger than my right side. I was asymmetrical to begin with, so I did wish he would have just done the lipo in the first place.
I am NOT complaining, however, how much the hubby is touching me and wanting it CONSTANTLY. This isn't new for him, but honestly, more so now than ever before.... :)

Beach Night: Rash Guards are the BEST!
So of course a bunch of friends with families wanted to do a beach night! My only issue with this was that I am a little over a week post op via underarm and I still have stitches...and haven't shaved. It looks hideous.
Decided to try a little shopping earlier today and found this awesome rash guard made by Ripcurl. It's SO comfortable and didn't feel self conscious at all this evening! Just wanted to pass some good news along...
Recovery is still going well- I think my right dropped and left still has some catching up to do. My right side is still tinging pain & popped more Tylenol today. Hoping it's time thing!

Genius! I was going to have an indoor pool party with my young nieces about a month after my BA and I was worried I would look too voluptuous in a bikini top if they were still high. So I'm totally going to look for a rash guard now! That's a cute one :-)

Looking good!! Super excited! I stopped in and put my deposit down today with Amanda :) My pre-op appointment is Nov. 16th, and surgery Nov. 18th! I read in a previous post that you had blood work done the day of your pre-op? Do we pay for that or did your insurance cover it? I have excellent health insurance but not sure they will cover it since it's for cosmetic surgery. Same with the prescriptions.... How much were they? Or did insurance cover it?!!

Thank you for complimenting! I'm so excited for you, the pre-op makes everything that much more real. I did, it was just to make sure your blood didn't so any infection/anemia. I guess they want you 100% healthy before going under.
They way I handled it was that I paid Diaco one portion payment (I did that about 3 weeks before surgery). Then, the day I went to the outpatient center (off of Armenia) they collected their portion which includes blood work. So, no I don't think it is it covered...not that I know of. Wouldn't hurt to ask Diaco, though!
Insurance DOES cover prescriptions (whether it's for cosmetic surgery or not). I only paid $10 co pay per script- ($40 bucks total) out of pocket. But I've heard some people can pay $20 per script depending on type of insurance. They gave me pain medication, nausea medication, the antibiotic (you start taking that the day before surgery), and a generic Ambien for insomnia.

Awesome! I know what my boss pays for our health insurance and it's ridiculously expensive so if insurance will cover the scripts - great!!! I'm waiting on some money to come in and then I'm paying in full for the surgery and the surgery center. Amanda just has to call over the actually get me registered there since I'm paying so far in advance, and then once I'm in the system, I can pay the surgery center. Then, I will just focus on getting on my supplies between now and Nov. 18th! I'm going out of town for a week in a few weeks so that will help the time go by quicker... I already ordered the backrest from Kohl's that you suggested :) I'll definitely pick up some of those ice packs, too! Keep us posted on your recovery, and I will do the same! I tried to find others on here that had their done by Dr. Diaco but I couldn't find any. Glad we were able to connect!!

1 Week Post Op Results: I LOVE THEM!
So, it's been one week since surgery. Totally feeling better but not out of the woods yet. I'm dropping nicely and fluffing a tad. I really love how I am filling out t-shirts and such. Haven't had to buy a size bigger or anything, I just look like I have some curves now.
My only complaint in the past few days is a tinge of pain in my right side boob accompanied by numbness under my arm. It comes and goes. I can only assume it's my nerves reattaching themselves. I'll get some more info from the PS on Tuesday for my post op (again). This time, he said my underarm stitches would be coming out. They removed the old bandages and put new ones on this past Tuesday, but they came right off in the shower that night. So, I've been without any bandages for the last two days. Called the office & their only suggestion was to put Neosporin on my incision sites if they were getting irritated.
Here are some pics from today. I am really looking forward to bathing suit season next year & thankful I have an entire winter to heal and have them adjust to my body!

looking fabulous hon! congrats on your new girls! I feel exactly the same way about filling out clothes properly for the first time - plus I've never felt so good in just a t-shirt! :) xoB.
September 19, 2015
Thanks! You look awesome as well- I know, who knew just filling out a t-shirt would give us such a confidence boost?!
September 19, 2015
You guys both look great!! It's totally crazy how great it feels already-just to see boobs in an unpadded bra. Lol I bet it's going to be awesome after a month when they d/f. I can't believe I waited this long to do it!
