Hey hey! Well, I'm at 8 weeks already! I'm feeling really great. I have another post op appt on Thursday, but thithus farI would say things are going picture perfect. I found out the thing going I with my right boob was just settling from the tubular release they did. So thankful because I had talked myself into thinking it was all sorts of terrible things!
I took a few updated pics and honestly it made me pretty excited to see the comparison. It's crazy how are mind work, I swear I've been so down on myself lately because I haven't been eating great and not being able to workout the way I like, I just felt like I had gone through all this for nothing. It's just so nice to have pictures so I can convince my brain that is RIDICULOUS! LOL!
Anyway, hope everyone is well!

Double bubble???

User Avatar

So literally no sooner than right after I hit the post button, I went and tried on one of my new bras for my husband...as I was taking it off I liked in the mirror and saw that my right boob looks deformed. It is my bigger implant and wasn't doing as quickly, but now I'm freaked the [RS bleep] out! Is this the beginning of a double bubble? It bottoming out?

Yikes! But I can't tell anything from that photo... I guess you have to ask your doc. Do you have a post op coming up?

Bra and bathing suit shopping.....WHAAT?

So last night I dragged my husband to Victoria's Secret so I could be re-sized and try on new bras and swim suits. I have dreaded suit shopping my ENTIRE life and for the first time in....EVER....I felt confidant standing in a swim suit. It was surreal! Also, I was "reevaluated" at a 36 DOUBLE D girls! I thought she made a mistake for sure and was convinced when she brought all the bad for me to try on I was going to be swimming in them. But they fit and looked amazing! SOOO, almost 300 buck-a-roos later we walked out! lol Also, super excited to ditch my binder on Monday, as I will be 6 weeks! On a down note .....because let's face it....everything can't always be perfect....I am pretty sure I have dog ears :( So that sucks butt.....and I know I'm still early in recovery in the scheme of things but I think I might need a revision for extra skin removal. I'll take pics later, but when I sit, I now have a slight roll again! It's like the skin is relaxing or something. I'm kinda upset, but then I battle myself because I see SUCH a great improvement, should I really be complaining?? But then I think, well I did pay 15 grand, I would like to be completely satisfied right.....But then I think, well even normal people have a little roll....ugh! I'll just ride it out and give myself 6 months before I really start freaking, I don't really want anymore surgery! Oooh gosh, I almost forgot....I went to Zumba yesterday! It felt so good to move again! I was surprised how well I felt! Hope all you girls are doing well on your journeys!

Thank you for asking. I am...just a little crabby today because I long for the day when I am not restricted in my activities...I'm ready to have my old life back. Think I'm PMSing...

Believe me, I have my crabby days! And my days when I'm still not feeling quite right....soon right....when this is all behind us, this will all be a distant memory!
But pms is a [RS bleep] and can really mess with you too! Haha

You look absolutely fantastic!! I also have dog ears and a weird spot I need a revision for. I think you should definitely demand the most for your $! Our surgeries cost so much we should be completely satisfied. So even though you look amazing, I still think it is important to have to doc finish the $15k job perfectly. But that is my opinion and what I have decided. And after everything is fixed I never ever want to go under the knife again, lol!!

Thanks, I needed to hear that! I just can't even think about ANOTHER surgery right now when I am finally feeling like I'm almost me again! It's like the last thing I even want to contemplate....But I agree about finishing the job!

I know - more surgery doesn't seem like a good idea. I had my dog ear and the wound revised today. No problem, local anaesthetic and almost no pain. I did take one of my left over pain meds though.. so maybe I will be feeling it tomorrow morning lol. But I'm happy to have the wound FINALLY closed! Hope all is well on your end!
