Day 10
WORTH IT
Hey ladies .. I’m on day 10 now .. not too much has changed. Everything still looks about the same .. I go back to the Dr on the 19th (next Monday) to have my waterproof bandages removed. I’ve felt pretty good so far .. about the only thing that’s bothering me is my arms!! I believe subconsciously I’m holding them ‘out’, away from the sides of my breast by my armpits .. other than that, everything seems to be good - well, except for the fact that I have 1 ‘inney’ and 1 ‘outty’ .. but the office has reassured me that will change as things settle .. I sure hope they are right!!!! My Dr says no bra for the first little bit .. but I won’t lie, it feels soooooo awkward!!! I found 2 Nike Cropped Mesh Bras today .. they are SUPER comfortable and a bit longer so the elastic is no where near my incisions! Happy Monday!!

Pounds VS Grams ..
Just a thought for the day .. my Dr said he removed 1.5 and 1.7 lbs of dense tissue .. 3.2 lbs .. I’ve seen most ppl talk about the grams they had removed .. 3.2 lbs = 1451 total grams!! ????

I have a question. In order for insurance to pay for it. What is the grams requirements that they have to at least take off. I hear it's 300 the least then I hear that it is 500?

good morning princess .. to be honest, you’d have to check with your PS or call your INS company - either should be more then happy to help .. I believe it all depends on the policy your INS company has. I’ve heard some are 300, 500, and even 800 grams per side in order to be covered. Even if it’s on the higher side and it gets denied - your PS should be able to protest it for you if he deems it necessary for medical reasons. good luck!! keep us posted!!! :)

I can button a shirt!!!! :)
All is good so far, I can finally wear a button down shirt!!!! Tomorrow will be 1 week and I couldn’t be happier. Today was my first ‘outing’ .. I had a funeral visitation to go to, then dinner after .. all of which took about 4 hours, and let me say, by the end of it all - I was worn out and very sore!! Slow and steady wins this race!! I still have my sticky bandages over my incisions .. it should last until my next appt, which is on the 19th.
