I have a new set of (smaller) "boobies", but at least a little softer than the expanders. WAY more comfortable, too. I had ZERO pain in that area. Had my doctor told me that he wasn't able to perform the surgery, I would have believed him.
The fat grafting was/is uncomfortable in terms of pain. Mainly the nerve damage. My torso is still pretty swollen from it, but that's to be expected. My surgeon said that since I didn't get drains, I should expect swelling for approximately 3 months. I wear my Spanx 24 hours a day, except for while I shower. I expected the Spanx to be more annoying, but I've almost become used to wearing them. I'm supposed to go back in February to discuss the next surgery.
For now, this is the least amount of weekly doctors appointments I've had in over a year. I'm still going every 3 weeks for Herceptin and regular echocardiograms, but I'm not scheduled to see my Oncologist until the end of January. It's a strange feeling not to have the constant, watchful eye of your team of doctors, needles and test results. It's a good sign, but definately an emotional adjustment.
Thank you for continuing to be THE BEST family and friends a girl could ever ask for! 💝
