Had 1 week follow up today

[toronto]

ya, i resisted the urge and kept the foam on for the week till my post op consult...

probably a good idea, i'm healing perfectly so far (knock on wood)

[T-Cups]

so my first follow up isn't until 2 weeks after the op (op was yesterday and I don't go in for fol up until June 14).  

I think JCF is going on vacation this coming week or something.

haha.. yah, while he was walking me to the OR, he ran into a friend and he goes "Two days walt, two days and I'm on the water!"

So i'm guessing that's where he'll be for a week.. ... man... I'm gonna have probs waiting that long.

Yeah, he's probably got a huge Yacht that 'WE' bought him!

Why you gonna have probs Dude? All he does at the follow-up is 'look' at your chest.

This damn bandage.  I'm gonna need a break from the bandage, no matter how small.  

Plus I want to see it.

I didn't get a chance to call them about the loose bandage... did you tighten it urself?  I don't have anyone to help me do that.

You're not gonna hurt anything by removing it for a while. You're gonna hafta take showers and ya can't shower with it on....

PITA huh?

Johh....

no kidding... so I can take it off every once in a while?  I may have to do that, i don't think I can spend 2 weeks with this thing on me.  

I was told I need to take sponge baths.. and no showers at all... i understand this was for the bandage, but even if I take it off, the shower won't affect the healing or whatever?

He told me that the bandage should be left on for at least 5~6 days.  So after that I think you could take it off, but you'd then have to wear a tensor wrap for the most part of the day.

I took a peak inside today.  

Like everyone else, my nipple area is a little 'caved in' I think because the surrounding areas are a little swollen.  

The entire moob area is completely numb, like I can't feel anything, only on the outside areas I'm itching like crazy due to the bandage.  

Anyway, I wasn't expecting it to be THIS flat, evidently I don't even have any pecs to speak of underneath... although I though I had some chest development underneath the gyne/fat.  

really really really made me want to hit the bench press like RIGHT AWAY, obviously I cannot do that right now.  

Wondering if other guys felt the same way?

Hey T-Cups,
To help with the itching, just wear an undershirt (i.e. wifebeater, I don't know why it is called that!!!) then wrap the tensor over it.  That should help!!!

A vest type undershirt is called a 'Wifebeater' as many stereotypical men who do nothing but drink beer all day and beat their wives wear a vest type undershirt...
