Well this has truly been an emotional ride! I am happy to say that a lot o the depressing feelings I had before are completely gone. I am able to clean up myself, I started driving myself around, and I do all low impact activities myself.

When I went to go see my doctor she was very pleased with the way that things were healing. I am still sore! I think its because of Antarctica outside. My clothes fit so differently, I have so much space everywhere I go! These 6 pounds plus being removed really made a huge difference. I am overly excited to get back to my hardcore work outs. I got some moves to make!


THE ONLY ANNOYING THING I AM DEALING WITH IS SLEEPING ON MY BACK!!!

Congrats on your good healing! My surgery was the 5th and I'm with you all the way on not liking the whole back sleeping thing! I don't think I've gotten a full nights sleep in over a week. It totally worth it though, isn't it?!

Yes it is worth it! I am now dealing with the incision healing under the left breast. I am hoping that there is no kind of infection. Happy Healings to you

This last week has truly felt like true life I had a breast reduction. Any and every emotion has flooded me-- I was super angry with nurses at one point( from the hospital not Otero office). I was sad, I felt depressed, I was happy, I was excited, I was in great pain. This last week was soooo emotional and I am not even that kind of chick.
When I saw my breast for the first time I was shocked. I felt like I didn't look like a woman anymore. I pretty much slept the remainder of that day. It finally hit the drastic change I been wanting. 6.8 pounds of boobs were gone and I jus need time to adjust.

Te first thing I wore to the office on my check up was a button up !!! Dr Otero said everything seem to be healing perfectly. I went to get a few scans and X-rays because my chest was feeling tight and I'm always out of breath. They checked to make sure there were no infections or clots. Everything came back clear and fine ! I was happy about that.

This entire process is just adjusting to a new you instantly!!! I have to continue to trust the process, and know that this decision was made to help me continue to be a healthy me!
