Three Weeks Post-Op
I am three weeks post-op(three weeks yesterday). And I have been back to bus driving for three days now. I have some burning pain in my right breast. Its not unbearable but it is annoying. The left does not get that. My surgeon continues to be freaking awesome, I love it! I feel my bras fitting different, most likely because they're dropping finally. Still wearing un-sexy bras because I need the support while driving the buses(bumps, mountains, turn-arounds and such). My breasts are very sensitive. The skin is sensitive to touch. And under my nipple is numb still. The right one is dropping faster than the left, and as a result my nipple is kind of looking like its in a funky place, hopefully it will fix though when the other one drops. But all in all I'd say I am healing pretty good and I am still really happy with my results. Cant wait to see the finished product, sleep on my side, and not be sore any more! And not to mention go bra shopping.
Two weeks post-op
Yesterday was two weeks post op. I am feeling much better and have much more movement in my arms. Very happy with the way they look even though they're not settled yet. I can feel them dropping though. It feels different in the way the weight is situated on my chest. My surgeon says everything looks fine and the lumps in my arm-pit can be from two different things. They can either be swollen lymph nodes, from my body trying to heal itself from surgery or tight muscles from not moving my arms much when I was a few days post-op. I finally got a sports bra today. I got an under armor sports bra from Sports Chalet. I have never bought a large bra before, when I got home and got it on it was very comfy, and easier than I thought to get it on even though it was not one you open from the front. Very excited to have something else to wear other than the bra given to me on surgery day! Especially when I head back to work and will need more support. :) Feeling better today. Last night I have some of the booby blues. I felt very selfish and like a bad wife and mom because I did this for myself. I am definitely tired of sleeping propped up, and I am tired of not being able to pick up my daughter. But the wonderful ladies on the forum helped me be reminding me that this is only a few weeks out of the rest of my life where I will feel like this and it won't be like this forever. I am so happy to have the support of this community and also from my husband, husbands mom, my daughter, and my surgeon and his office. Things will get better! :) Definitely looking forward to river season! :)
Two Week Update
Tomorrow I am two weeks post-op....kind of nervous, as I only have this week left before I return to work as a bus driver. But I am still doing much better. I am definitely happy with my new size. I only wish I went a little tiny bit bigger, but I still am really happy with my results and the way they look so far. Also I thought that this was going to be a little easier to handle, all the healing and stuff. I had no bruising, my left breast is dropping slower thank my right, though the right is more painful. I am still a little sore, in doing things, I tried driving today, just my truck around town. I drove my husband to get a haircut, and after that he drove. I definitely cant move quick yet as far as turning the steering wheel. My muscles feel sore, not too much pain now, just when I over do it, at night at bedtime I definitely feel it. I have lumps in my underarm that are probably swollen lymph nodes...which I e-mailed my surgeon about, and its normal. Just the body trying to heal itself after the surgery. Also the tape is falling off my incisions, which I also e-mailed the doctor about and he said if they fall off before the three week mark(which is when he said that I can peel them off) its fine. I am still bloated and emotional, I am really hoping my stomach looks better when I go back to the surgeon....as I feel HUGE when I went for my one week appointment....though I have lost almost ten pounds in these last two weeks from eating less from being in pain.
I am going MUCH better day by day.
I am still VERY much HAPPY with my surgeon. He is kind and caring, with a great attitude. He e-mailed me back personally to answer my questions. :) More pictures soon! :)

Provider Review
At my consult he made me feel VERY comfortable! His staff was very kind too! He answered all of the questions that I had at the time with knowledgeable answers. I have since then scheduled my surgery and have also e-mailed his office with questions and concerns. They got back to me with a fast response. He has a very kind voice, and I like that the surgery center is in the same place as their offices. I will be posting more information as the time gets closer and I have the pre-op, surgery, and post-op appointments.
