Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Wow, i can see/feel a difference! People ask me if i have lost weight! Yep!!! All in the chest. I can tell the difference in my neck/back pain. I was told i could drive again, so for me (i'm always BUSY and on the go) it has been very hard to take it EASY! But i have. When i put on a button down shirt for the 1st time (i only have 2) i cried! It was amazing that the buttons laid flat and i could look down and see my pretty toes (i just got my toes painted) As the big chested gals know that is a BIG thing! I have an ABD lounger and was told i could start slow and do some sit-ups...and WOW i feel so much " lighter " on the top so the crunches are much easier than i remember! Possibly in the next few months i will get back to my water aerobics classses....all in moderation. I'm still swollen/brusied...but i LOVE the new " girls " No new bras yet for me (but i have a few gift cards from friends mto Secrets) I can't wait to wear matching panites/bras for the 1st time that i can remember. I'm wearing my old bras with the " dreaded " under-wire cut out and my sports bras (i used to have to were a bra AND a sports bra just to work out at the gym) that old double binding. My Dr. wants me to wear the surgical bra at night...okay by me! I feel so good and i'm truly blessed that so far no complications. I really wish my insurance company would have approved this surgery along time ago, instead of making me suffer until i finally had a neck injury that can NEVER be repaired.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 , I am so happy for you! Me, I have to lose another 80 pounds before the surgeon will even talk to me about it. Me and my 46DDD/EE's are not getting along so well. My back and upper back pain is horrendous, and they get in the way of everything. When I sit in front of the computer, at my desk, every time I move, the drawer knob threatens to tear one of them off my body. And they are so tender that I cant' even look at them without them hurting! The one plastic suirgeon here in town that tool Medicaid wanted me down to 250 (I'm 15 pounds away!). But he stopped taking Medicaid some time ago. Now, the one in Seattle wants me down to 188 (that's another 70 pounds, and probably another year from now)!! *********************************** in Washington Emotionally and Medically screwed up *********************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------ In a message dated 8/27/2006 11:15:45 PM Pacific Standard Time, Hugs-N-Pain writes: > Wow, > i can see/feel a difference!
