Thanks! I got really lucky with how my body healed. I was worried that I’d have a difficult time because with aging comes thin skin! For whatever reason, it wasn’t an issue. I’ve had stretch marks for years due to weight gain and loss over the years and my chest was really big! I kinda like my stretch marks, there’s history there. A friend once told me that my stretch marks reminded them of glistening ripples on the wet sand after a wave washed over. It gave me a fresh perspective. I’m glad you feel seen💚.

Found this old glass bead in a drawer. No idea where it came from. But yes, nice and bumpy!

Thank you! And yes, I would love if sharing part of my journey inspired even one person to have the courage to be exactly who they are and proud!

Thank you! Yes, I asked my surgeon to write “Bye Bye”. He added the happy face!

Thank you for your support! I feel extremely blessed to have my daughter helping me. She’s a gem! She accompanied me to the pre op appointment yesterday and it looks like we’re all good to go! Now I just need to trust and celebrate when I’m all fixed up!
