Jennifer... I know exactly what bras you are talking about from Walmart. Those are the bras that the surgeon put me in post-op! They were very comfy... though I thought they wore out fairly fast in the "support" department.

Your redux took 7 hours!!! Wow! Mine was about 4 hours, and I lost about 6 lbs. Went from a lopsided G/H to a nice, proportionate, perky "mid" C. Love it!!!

Yep 7 hours, a little over 8 lbs and I'm still a very healthy D! I'm pretty happy with the results, the scarring is worst than I was told it would be, but I would never go back to the way I was. Those bras aren't the most durable, but the price isn't all that hefty either, I had 3 or 4 that I rotated wearing. I tried some others, but I came right back to those.

My scarring is worse than I thought too... but, like you, I would NEVER go back! I'll take the scars over the "problems" anyday! :) I am still a nice "middle of the road" C cup! The surgeon recommended a D for me, but I insisted on a C, and she delivered!!! :D For anyone that is considering a reduction, I highly recommend it! It's been the best thing I've EVER done for myself!

I also had several of those front close sports bras...for $7 a pop... you can't beat it! I was kinda surprised that the surgeon used those bras! I was expecting some "super-support torture bra" for the first few weeks, but was pleasantly surprised. There was also another kind of sports bra at Walmart... pullover, has a mesh area between the breasts... also very comfy, but it gives a VERY squished "uni-boob" look. LOL Of course, I think most sports bras give the uni-boob look! LOL

Diver... thanks for the offer... but I think I've got this one! :rofl3:


FISHER!!! :bash: :fishslap: :letsparty: :boxing_sm :whack: AND, last but not least... :kissbutt: :mooner:

LOL! Actually... only the plastic surgeon has the before/after pics.

I do have some pics taken a few days after surgery... and they are painfully bruised and swollen ugly!!! LOL But... the pics are on CD somewhere, AND... I don't share! LOL (Actually... I have shared them a couple times... for friends that were considering the surgery, and wanted to see the "aftermath".) I don't have any pics of the healed results.... only hubby gets to see the "real" thing! :D

HOLY CRAP!! $80 for a bra??!!

Man, I complain when I've got to pay ten bucks for a six pack of Fruit of the Loom...

One more reason I'm glad I'm not a woman....:D

That is correct.... now that $10 pack of underoos is looking rather appealing, huh! :D
 
Unlike Underoos you never throw the bra in the washer with your jeans....
