Some Help?

Thanks, I'll remember that. I'll go to the store and by different bandages then. I'll go this weekend.

I'll get a pack of undershirts too, thanks for the tip.

Yeah, I think someone earlier in the thread mentioned abdominal binders? You can find them in most stores- even drug stores (bartell, CVS, londons, whatever is local). They're usually by the braces for your wrists and ankles and stuff. They're not terribly comfortable, but they won't cause the kind of damage as an ACE bandage would. And they're cheap.

I thought about it, and I want to get one, but I can't summon up the courage to buy them. But I will try. I'll check Longs and Kmart this weekend for them. Now I have a lot of stuff to do this weekend!

Somehow I'm doubting that the drug stores here will have any, but it's worth a shot.

If you can, send me another personal message with your email in it. I'll email you so we can go over something.

Thank you so much!!! This will help out a ton!

Sure thing!

I sent you an email, Lane. Just to let you know.

Depends on where the stretch marks are and which type of surgery you get- there are several ways to remove the breast tissue. I had lots of stretch marks, but they were mostly above the nipple which is where they make the incision so most of the skin that had marks ended up being removed. No more stretch marks!

Eep! I just read back over this. I don't know if I was tired or what- my stretch marks were below the nipple mostly, and to the sides which is where the majority of the tissue is removed. I must have been thinking that the ones on top also disappeared. My guess is that it's because I don't have heavy weights on my chest weighing down my skin and stretching it to make the stretch marks prominent anymore, cause they're gone.

So sorry! I got it backwards.

Thanks to Lane, I now have a binder. I tried it on today, and it works very well. I hope that when I try it out in public, it will let me pass.

I also got a much needed haircut today. It's now a rocker kinda look, and I really like it. It makes my face look manlier. I'll post a picture when I get one.
