obviously I'm just really recently post-op (2 weeks) but I was wondering how long after surgery you guys started to feel normal again.

I have the tightness and pulling on my chest and obviously sensitivity to the touch and itching of the scars. it kind of hurts when i walk, like i can feel them "bouncing" or something which is weird because theres nothing there hahahah. what about your experiences?

I guess I started feeling "normal" around 3 1/2-4ish weeks post-op.  I think that's when I could put on regular t-shirts again.  I also had the odd "bouncing" feeling.  That was the strangest thing, especially knowing that there was nothing there to bounce.  Maybe it was due to the swelling or some type of phantom "limb" sensation?  Not really sure.

@Kvall:  Whoops.  I totally started massaging my scars at 3 weeks when I started applying the mederma.  It wasn't an intense massage, but not the gentlest one either.  Oh well, can't take it back now lol
