Oops! Told you I'd forget something.
So much later!!!
I love my new boobies, I really do. I had no problem with the size before, so I was afraid I'd miss them or something…but so far, I have not. I absolutely love having smaller breasts. I keep calling myself a member of the itty bitty [RS bleep] committee, even though I still don't have particularly small breasts. I have rounded out to a size 32DD. This is the size that fits me most accurately, although I can kind of pull off a 34C in dire situations. From a 34DDD to a 34C? It's amazing!! I just went yesterday and got myself two gorgeous, brand new Victoria's Secret underwire bras, and I am so stoked to wear them. I also got a Lululemon TaTa Tamer sports bra and have ordered a Moving Comfort Luna sports bra from online…I'm building my bra wardrobe again and it feels so good. I've gotten used to wearing only sports bras, and sometimes it's nice because it's comfortable, but honestly I'm kind of sick of it.
I had some problems with another wound staying open, this time on my left breast, but a couple of days ago I found a rogue stitch, pulled it out, and I just took the gauze off from last night and IT IS CLOSED!!! I am so excited. This means that all of my incisions are closed, and it's the milestone I gave myself for wearing underwire.
My scars are healing amazingly. And I have had no problems accepting them as part of my body. Honestly if they stay this pink color forever, it won't be a big deal to me. I'm sure they won't, because I know they're going to fade, but I really have grown to love the scars. Because they are a sign that I am happier now in my body!
The lack of pain alone is worth it. I still struggle with holding my shoulders up high like I used to, so I have a bit of residual pain from that, but whenever I catch myself, I immediately lower them (just did that). Hopefully eventually, I will just stop scrunching my shoulders.
Oh my gosh. Since it's been so long since I've written, I'm sure there are a million things I could say, but they're all escaping me. I know I'll remember them as soon as I post this update, so I'll update again later.
Provider Review
Dr. Maloney is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who asked. He is so professional and also very friendly. His work is phenomenal, it really shows that he went to Harvard. The incision lines are so clean and I don't have "dog ears". His staff is so personable, it really seems like every time I come into the office they are happy to see me. And they are available 24/7, even if you have a stupid question (which I had a lot of). I am so, so glad that I chose Dr. Maloney instead of looking for someone in Scottsdale. I regret nothing, and would go back and do it again in a heartbeat. There are two reasons I gave less than 5 stars in 2 categories. First reason: One time I scheduled an appointment with someone at the front desk, came in for the appointment (with a card written by the office confirming I had an appointment that day and time and after being emailed to confirm the date and time as well), and was told that my appointment was scheduled for 2 and a half hours earlier. I had to make another appointment for about a week later. Second reason: They told us that insurance would cover everything, and although we did ask if there were any exceptions or things we could know, we were called a few weeks later to tell us we had to pay $1200 out of pocket because insurance wouldn't cover the axillary part of the surgery. Luckily we were prepared for that. And then about a month and a half after surgery we received a $900 bill because the leg compression mechanisms they put on me during surgery weren't done by a company covered by insurance, which we also weren't told. We are appealing that with our insurance company currently. But overall, I am so pleased with the experience.
