    I know the struggle... back pain, shoulder pains, tension, struggling with finding the right bra size, the marks on your shoulders caused by bra straps, heyyyyy it's just a lot😭 running after a bus or taxi and they just come out and you have to constantly put them in place every 30 seconds.

    Hi Letty, congratulations babe, any update on scar healing? My sister is looking for a doctor but she's worried about the scars. Other surgeons use stitches that heal better than others. What's your intake on the scar healing with your doctor.

      I could walk immediately after surgery. But I had limited movement on my upper body. I was able to shower, make my bed and wash dishes after a week.

    Hi❤️ How long did it take to do your surgery from the time it was approved/confirmed?
    A week /day/month?

    • @lettyk_m
      @lettyk_m  Рік тому +1

      Well I scheduled my surgery first while I worked on the approval. I was determined to have with or without medical aid assistance but I got approved 3 days before my surgery.

      I actually had to go back for second surgery because I had an infection. That was my worst nightmare. However I am recovering pretty well right now. Though I still experience some stiffness on the other breast. I think the swelling will go down in due time.
