Oh gosh, no kidding!!! I did feel two of the pin pricks when I got the lidacane injections...but nothing too bad. The down side is I wont know if anything is bumping or scratching it...so I have to be extra careful!

Lets see if the new siggy is ready:

Hahahaha! Love the new sig, Sue!
..and I know what you mean about worrying you can't tell if you bumped or scratch it!
0 -
p.s. ... I also noticed that they are also much w i d e r now! Are you showing off your "E" status?
0 -
LOL!!!! I needed the extra room for the scar - and until I actually OWN a 30E, Ill still claim 32D or 30DD thank you very much!!
And NO, I did NOT stay a B....so my siggy can reflect that!

So are you changing from SuebeeBC or SuebeeDE? I'm confused 0

Hi SuebeeBC, I got my nips today too. I had to be put to sleep as I also had some fatgrafting. I would have loved to watch. Mine have plastic covers sewn on, kind of gross and I can't really see them. No pain from nips, but the area where got the fat is soo sore. I will be in breast and tummy binders until I see PS in a week. How soon are you allowed to shower?
0 -
Christine! Congratulations on the nips!
Im starting to feel the nip a little - just a little pain, its good to feel it, actually!
And I can shower tomorrow! I take the guard off, let the water run over it, and put a little bacitracin on it after I dab it dry!

SuebeeBC, I can not shower for 3 days (I am typically a 2 shower a day girl). I can feel a little burning sensation at the nips,.Like you I am happy for any feeling. Did your PS telling you anything about bras with the new nips? I am in a binder now, with the plastic protectors, but when they come off I wonder if a bra will effect the results. I don't want to squish them.

I will have my guard for a while. She wants me in a soft/loose bra or preferably a Cami until I see her again....Tuesday....and go from there. I can probably just go commando for now. I am not working tomorrow but I am on Saturday so it will be loose clothing this weekend. Im like you - I dont want to squish it! PS is more worried about rubbing and bumping it though.

so glad to see the new nips goin on! Hooooooray!!! '-)
I hope you ladies are feeling good, Susan - I see another sig change for you, and I kinda like it! I chuckled out loud, very true! ...oh yeah, Sue, I see your change too, clever & cute! ...hmmm, mines been the same pretty much for a while, maybe it's time?!?!?
So just to let y'all know, my internet is UP for the first time since August (hurricane issues) I finally have in-home internet working so I hopefully can be around a bit more! I was climbing the walls using my phone and pretty much gave up on commenting here, I couldn't keep up :-)
just FYI - I am doing pretty great. still a bit sore after FG, out of the spanx (wahoo!!!) and will go back to PS in 3 months. Things look pretty darn great!!! He claims that if FG is there in 6 months than it shoulld last for the long haul...crossing my fingers!!!

So jealous of you nippy folks! Glad everything is turning out well.

Megan Yeah out of SPANKS!!! I am also so happy things are looking so great! I cant wait to see them! Welcome back to the fold too! Thats a long time to be without internet! I cant handle typing on my phone at starbucks, let alone months! LOL
Fluff it will be your turn! Hang in there!

Glad to hear the FG is still holding strong Megan!
Fluff ~ Your exchange is coming up pretty soon, isn't it?

How long until you feel better from the fat donor sites?? I am not a wimp, but holy cow, my tummy hurts when I move. How long before you know if the fat is going to take?

Susan-Soon, but not soon enough. I will have the date set officially next Tuesday at my appointment. I think it will be October 21 as he does surgery on Fridays and my husband will be around all weekend if I need anything. We have a wedding on October 30, so I was thinking about waiting until the Monday after the wedding, but he told me he does not do drains with the implant exchange, so I might go with the 21st. That means that we leave for Hilton Head next Thursday, get back the following Saturday, and it will only be 6 days to surgery! Woot!

Christine - My FG was 3 weeks this coming Monday. Nearly all the pain is gone, except if I touch my stomach, it feels like a sunburn. It seems like I am healing fine, but the skin is still sensitive. I'm with ya though - I didn't anticpate FG to be so rough! As far as knowing if it will take, my PS says that if after 6 months the fat is still there, the chances of it staying are pretty great. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Fluff - good to hear exchange is coming up - yahoo!!!

Exchange date set for 11/4. I had him give me another fill yesterday so he has room to play during surgery. They feel huge and tight today. He asked for 11/4 to give the skin time to settle and grow into the new fill. That is fine by me. As long as nothing happens between now and then.
I will get high profile mentors someplace between 400-450. Told him that he and my friend, one a surgical nurse at the surgery center, can decide. I trust them! Playing on mt new iPad while driving and loving it0 -
I bet they are 450! THAT seems to be the magic number to - ahem - stay a B around here!!!
0 -
yup - 450's seem right on the money :-) ...I realllllly love my (HP 450) "size B's" ...hahahah!!!!! seriously tho - what I really & truely love is that we all know the reality about measurements- and, Fluff you've been around enough to know about thet whole size/cup issue :-) I'm so happy you have a date!!! Yahooooooo!!!!!

Well then how the hell did I end up with 397cc and get D's (My PS says they're Cs).
0 -
I know Lago I feel like I have a dent in my chest of something because I have a 475 and am a D when other friends with 450's are DD's. I feel like it only looks like a C too.
0 -
Hi ladies. I am probably a D cup right now, and I hate them. So when I found out I had cancer and was having bmx I told them I want to be smaller. Do they really encourage you to go bigger? I am scared b/c I DO NOT want to be bigger. I was thinking a B cup would be perfect.
0 -
I know! I forgot how big I felt with the first set. Went to 480 then and he thought 550 would be my ideal size. Lol whippet mom thought I should be 600 or higher. They might be right but yowza!
I snuggled up to my husbands back this morning and he said holey Moley! TEs arrived before the rest of me. It was pretty funny.0 -
slgarcia05 ~ I'm curious...have you been professionally fitted for a bra at someplace like Nordstrom's? I'm just asking because I bet you are actually bigger than a D cup in a properly fitted bra. I thought I was an A/B cup before... but after going to a professional fitter , I'm thinking I was probably a C cup before my mastectomy. I think most of us don't realize what a true B,C, D etc looks like.
I've posted this before...but it was from a UK website that was talking about how we (Americans) have a skewed idea of what particular bra sizes should look like. Below is a woman (who did NOT have reconstruction) who measures an average 34D.
Before all this I would have totally bet that she was a B or C. And this was about the look I was going for when I started this whole thread. Apparently, I was striving for a D the whole time and didn't know it!!!!

SusansGarden,
No, I have never been fitted. Maybe I am bigger than that. I am so worried. I don't want to be as big, or even close to, what I am right now. Tired of buying shirts to fit my boobs instead of the rest of me. Thank you so much for the info. Maybe I will go get fitted tomorrow, before my surgery on Monday so I will know. Can you just walk in and do it, or do you need an appt? Thanks again!
Shannon

Apparently, there is not a Nordstoms where I live, or even close. Is there anywhere else to do get measured?
0 -
Well... hmmm.... Victoria's secret isn't the greatest for fitters but it's better than nothing. I suppose any store that has a well stocked bra/lingerie deptartment might have someone? I would call up and ask. I wish I would have went for a fitting before my mastectomy (just out of curiousity). My hubby and I did make a plaster "bust" of my torso right before I had my surgery....but I don't think I could get an accurate fitting from that! 0
