I just added a picture to my profile of me with my pre-surgery jeans.  These jeans were tight on my pre-op, and now I can stand with both legs in ONE leg of them (that picture didn't turn out the way I had hoped, though)!  I have been waiting since day 1 post-op to be able to do this!

The blue sweater I have on, athough not especially flattering to my still ample bustline, is cashmere (mmmm..... cashmere)  -- purchased on sale for 50% off, no less! -- and was my recent "reward" for moving from the "obese" to "overweight" BMI category).  It's a Large and the jeans I have on are a 14 petite!

Great picture, Lora.  Isn't it just mind boggling when we pull out those old clothes?

Thanks.  My arms are better, although they still feel tight and sensitive and still have some swelling.  Mostly, my armpits and the side incisions along the breasts still hurt quite a bit and I still have very limited range of motion.  Enough of the swelling is gone, though, and the incisions are healed enough that I am starting to get a pretty good idea of the final result, and that looks pretty good  (one armpit still looks kind of scary).
