I had my surgery  on November 9th.  Healing has gone exceptionally well.  As of my appointment today, I have no restrictions, and no longer need to wear any binder or compression garment.  I am to wear a bra at all times though....he said at least a few more months of sleeping in it.

I'm back to running, doing modified P90X and weight lifting.  Doctor said I can do yoga/ab work after the 1st of the year.  I'm still swelling, and it is random.  It isn't bad every day-just sometimes.  And it isn't when I exercise....it is usually on days when I don't.  He said that is normal and I should expect that for several more months.  I go back in two months and he'll take the first post-op pics.

I'm beginning to see differences in how my clothes fit.....most of my pants are not gonna work anymore. I think I'll need low rise cut from now on...but I'll wait a while since I'm still swollen.  Doctor did tell me I'd be safe to buy new bras after the 1st....so look out VS!  I need a new bra wardrobe!!
