Good Morning ladies,
I am 9 days post op and wondering when everyone was able to stand up straight and stop hunching over? I am starting to feel like the Hunchback of Notre Dame 
Second, how is everyone sleeping? I am still in the darn recliner and my butt is starting to kill me! lol,
Lastly, I am due to go back to work next week and not sure what I should wear. I see some are saying jeans are uncomfortable on the skin and with the swelling I am guessing certain things would be very uncomfotable.
I am looking forward to everyones experience and suggestions.
Thanks so much

I would post on the PS board you will get more responses. It took me about two weeks to stand up straight. I am 9 mos out and still swell and none of my pants from before surgery fit anymore they are too small

Are you going to be up to going back next week?  I was told a minimum of 3 weeks out of work...but was hoping I would be able to go back sooner.  I hate the thought of using 3 week of my time off for surgery. 

Do you have any sun dresses you could wear?  that might be most comfortable.

I am heading up to see him tomorrow morning to learn the fate of my left boob that I think has scar tissue that is keeping it from dropping.

I had my surgery over a year ago so I don't remember details, but how long did you surgeon tell you to walk hunced over?  I just followed my doctor's advice. 

I can tell you I had the recliner for about a month and when I got rid of it (it was rented) I was happy to see it go - that's for sure!!!!

JEANS - noooooo way! at least not for me - a few nice sundresses should do the trick - my surgery was in the summer and sundresses saved me. 
Good luck,
Lou
