fingers crossed this will be my last surgery come hell or high Water

@ @@Djmohr et al

3rd time is the charm!!!

thank goodness!!!!

saw doc yesterday

including DOS, it's only been 6 day since magic!!!

in and out surgery (never had that with any of alllll surgeries)

things went well :rolleyes:

surgery, recovery about 2 hours

after pain meds wore off

breasts felt very tighttttt, they really hurt

within 2 days i could feel the improvement

every day better and better (like the sleeve)

my chose of breast size is medium

when i was heavy, they were big by nature

now, they feel and look great

wearing a special bra 24/7

that's ok - i have to heal

see the doc again in 2 weeks

by then, hopefully no more special bra

i temporarily am sleeping on a big

wedge, with a pillow

not uncomfortable - i always sleep on side

sleeping on my back is weird

3 surgeries are a lot to go through

but at the end of the day - it was definitely worth it!!!!

almost 5 years PO - 105 lbs weight loss - two new girls, life is good

i look cute a button

hmmmm, maybe cuter?? :lol:

nawwww, that would be too much to handle LOL

thanx all for your good thoughts - they helped

You'll be lucky to get rid of the surgical bra at only 3 weeks out. I had to wear mine 24/7 for 8 weeks! It was the worst. Every woman knows that feeling where you can't wait to take your bra off after having worn it for like 16 hours? Well I had that feeling every second of ever day for weeks and weeks! But it was all worth it in the end and it will be for you too!

doc told me to be "lazy" around the house - NO sweeping, vacuuming, cleaning floors etc til i fully heal!!!/feel better

hubby always comes to my appt - doc told HIM to clean up for a while (i slipped doc a $20.00 to say that) LOL

i'll give him another $20.00 next appt if he tells DH to clean up for the next YEAR - isn't bribery great!!!

Yahoo for the girls!!! So glad you are doing well!!!

Kristen - thanx for your nice thoughts - i've led a sheltered life - before i came to this board - i never heard the expression "the girls" -_- amazing what i've learned here LOL - even learned about food and nutrition LOL

worth it in the end and it will be for you too!

Jamie, thanx - relieved everything eventually did work out for me- concerned/scared that they wouldn't!!! - alls well that ends well (i love all those silly cliches')

You deserve it! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

@@OutsideMatchInside (don't know your first name( boo boo!!)

silly head, of course i deserve it!! (we all do) ;)

feeling better, stronger every day - living the dream i never knew existed!!!

@ - thanx for appreciating what i'm going through - even though you are JUST a dude! LOL

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
