I had both my arms and breast done (no bags) - It was 2 weeks at least before I was feeling kinda normal. I had compression sleeves on for a while that felt like life support. Now I am totally fine and would do it again in a heart beat.. It changed the way my body looked sooo much I finally did not feel like I was wearing a skin suit! PIC in my profile

I fly several time a year and flew a week after being banded and have never had a problem and it will be 3 years in December. Have fun!!

I am trying to be patient!! I still have some minor swelling under my arms and in the pits. I am measuringa 37 around so I can go either way with size. If I wear the 36 the bras usually go down to a more narrow sides and smaller hooks. I am still liking the 38 because it keeps my side fat in check! I can not wait to drop a small fortune at VS!!

I woke up in my compression sleeve and I did not have any external stitches. I can not be much help!! I would call the doctor if you have questions about his instructions! Good luck!

I had no trouble working from home almost right away. By day 4 I was wondering if the doctor really did but the band in! The worst pain I had was from the gas they pumped into my belly Guess everyone is different! Good luck!

How are you feeling? Happy Friday!

Just checking in!! How are you doing???

Really I am doing great. Boobs are feeling better every day. I am rubbing the scars about 3 times a day and I think it is helping with the feeling coming back. My nipples are responding to touch but not a whole lot of feeling still in them. Over all I am back to doing everything I used to do. NOW I am still trying to wrapp my head around wearing cute clothes. I still need to be sized for a bra. The Bali are great but I would like some cuter bras and tops!!

That is the same one I have!! I have it in a few colors!! I have one front close bra but don't really wear it. How you doing? recovering ok?

You are looking great!! I would swear we are sisters!! lol I had the same feeling about my boobs. I almost thought they didn't look right because I was so used to seeing them big and saggy that perky small nipples boobs seemed not right! My arms are working but I am still numb on the under side. My left arm is a little more swollen too. I loved the feel of the compression sleeves in the beginning. I almost could not image not wearing them. I am in a bra almost all the time still too. The girls kind of hurt if I just let them be free. I have nipple sensation but it is still tingly and numb but seem to be better every day. My first shower I almost passed out so I understand. I loved taking it and getting clean but I was soo tired afterwards. Get redressed and putting everything back on was horrible!! I am glad that got better too!! Hope you are doing better!!

I ended up and I am still using Bali no underwire bras and I love them! I am clear after 6 weeks to wear whatever I want but for right now the Bali are great. I sleep in the cotton Bali no underwire bra and it is duper soft and comfy!

OMG - That look horrible. I am 5 weeks out and knock on wood I am healing great so far. But you are right I did sign all the forms thinking they are not meaning ME. I have 2 more surgeries coming up - I will take the chance but I will keep in mind it can ALWAYS be you! Thank you for sharing.

How are you feeling??? That sucks about the bleeding - UGH!! I am sooo glad you did not have to get drains!! They freaked me out totally! I am 5 weeks out and feeling good, not back to normal but no real pain. How do the Girls look!!!???

Yay!!!! You look great!!!! lol I love the dress!! I love wearing them!! How are you feeling????
