Ok, so I don't want to die anymore...

Jul 08, 2009

I went in for a follow up visit yesterday.  I will be 3 weeks out in a couple days.  My drain is out and stitches in my thighs came out at yesterday's visit.  My belly button is healing well, TT incision is closed up nicely, thighs are still tender, but closing up as well....but the boobs!  They won't drop and are still swollen.  I have to go back to wearing the binder/band to try to push them down.  He says maybe 2 more weeks.  I am getting nervous that they haven't dropped.  He said in WLS patients since the skin tends to be more stretched out, he starts a bit higher so they don't drop too low.  I guess mine are holding the implant up better than expected!  Ugggh, they are making me mad!

I am off pain meds, and can drive now.  I still feel very sore and tender.  I swell if I am up alot.  When I went shopping to find some clearance deals for back-to-school it was impossible to know what size bottoms to get.  Gotta wait I guess for things to settle out.  I did find a couple dresses and shoes!

It was funny...we went to lunch at a sit yourself restaurant before my appointment, and I was stared at by all the men on their lunch break.  I realized I used to be accustomed to staring, but it makes me feel bad because it was always for being fat.  Now they are checking me out and I still feel bad being stared at!  In my mind I connect it to being because they are making fun of me in their mind...hard to change that mind set.
