25. Well worth it!

My next visit to the doctor is tomorrow; I'm hoping he'll remove the tape and I can actually see what's what. I still have a bit of discomfort but cut my pain meds way down. The only real issue is underneath, where the main incision is...where the bra hits gets really annoying as the day goes on...and I seriously miss sleeping on my side.
It's incredibly exciting to see how different my shape looks! I am super motivated now to lose any excess weight and get into the best shape of my life. And I know it may be months until my breasts reach their final place, but for now I'm really happy. No more big saggy boobs. I'd recommend it to anyone thinking about it.
